Update 25Apr16 - Billy has remixed the song (22Apr16) with updated bass and vocals.

A pleasure to be involved with this one...

Robert: Your spacey cryptic lyric sparked this off!

Billy: How can any song you're involved with not turn out great  8). You took on the lions share in producing this progressive rock monster, thank you again.

George: An excellent vocal, love the way you "Played" the part. That scream just before the breakdown is out of this world!!!

Mark: A fantastic performance on the skins. Very complex and yet totally in the groove. Those deft little adds on percussion and sizzles added the right amount of spice.

Once again, super work guys and a big thank you.

Andy


TIME TRAP (Part one of the Dream) Lyric: Robert Wood (c) 2013
                       
A shapeless void through eternity
can't be destroyed, won't set you free
chasing you down like the prey that you are
defining the age of all things from afar
 
capture the moment but don't lose track of time
guilty or not , don't get caught at the scene of a crime
can't turn back the hands so watch what you do
cuz no one's to blame , it all points back to you

remember the past and file it away
a lost memory , in a dream it will stay
can't change what it was or what it will be

Chorus:
Don't be afraid , its something we all face
being lost in our desire to reach another place
with any luck , it will show up on a map
or hopelessly tossed alive in a time trap
   
We try to find answers without any luck
while others pass by , not having a clue
If all could be changed, by passing the buck
so many more fools wouldn't know what to do

It's not my place to say that the world isn't right
but I'm not to sure I can last thru the night

I toss and I turn , wipe the sweat from my brow
I wish tomorrow was already now -
I realize this dream is driving me mad

Chorus

(BRIDGE) :

I'm lost in time , please set me free
my strange nightmares must be the key....
I'm just a pawn , or so it seems
as my whispers turn into screams.....

SOLO

Outro Chorus

The Time Travellers:

Robert Wood: Lyrics
Billy Playle: Arrangement/production/mix/master, Electric & acoustic guitars, Keyboards
George Williams: Lead and backing vocals, vocal arrangement
Mark Cole: Drums, percussion
Andy Gupta: Original music, bass

Excellent!
George can often be found playing stringy things, and singing...

Glad you liked it Mark. George listed the influences in the working thread, ELP is apt too.

Much appreciated Frank!

Yes, I enjoyed the way Mark played off the bass track. Know The Place is another tune where Mark and I lock pretty tight together :)

Andy

Great sounding track, all!!  Really tight groove too!!   8)

... Oh! and the progression is unusual here and there, very nice, love it.
Live the best you can 'cause you're gonna be dead for a long time.

Hi Paulo,

I am glad you liked this song!! Thanks for the kind words.

I'm pretty happy that I had it in me to write such a piece of music :), not sure I can top this anytime soon!!

The guys were brilliant and Billy's production brought it all home.

We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.
You can't polish a turd, but you can always spray paint it GOLD
Great songs are not written, they are re-witten
