What was due to be a celebration turned into a sad occasion...the passing of Mark Cole shortly after he contributed drums to this recording.
It is a shock to everyone who knew him on MCS.
Mark was a wonderful drummer, but more importantly a great guy. Mark you will be missed, rock on!!
This version has the vocals handled by Smithie, he did a wonderful job. Not much else different, except we used my keys track this time around.
Finally, Frank helmed the mixing desk to produce a superlative mix.
Paul's lyrics remain amazing, one of his best.
Super Hadron Collider (Paul Dempsey/Andy Gupta)
Super Hadron Collider (original lyric:PVD)
bpm=98
(v1)
Am/A5
Who could have imagined
That something so tiny
Could mean so much
It’s something - that you can't feel
Something you can't sense or touch
(v2)
A puzzle part that's missing
Shielded for a long time
It's place of hiding is now known
A burst of light - for a moment
And its colors will be shown
(pre-chorus)
D
Back to the beginning - before (the) worlds were spinning
Am/A5
Fulfill a need to rush at (the) speed of light
D
A glimpse never lasting - all dots connecting (2nd time: every bit expanding)
E E D
A journey in search of relief (2nd time: belief)
(chorus)
A5 C D G A5
Super Duper Hadron Collider
A5 C D G A5
Hidden away by a master thief
Super Duper Hadron Collider
A collision of knowledge and belief
Interlude: D5
(v3)
With a thousand eyes watching
Each one never blinking
Two bosons race to collide
There's two keys to open the door
To see what's beyond the other side
