Another tune done before the year end
.
Smithie started the ball rolling by setting Bob's reflective lyric to a spacey arrangement with a great vocal.
Then Henry (who plays a super reverb/echo drenched solo) and I added to the arrangement to bring it to the form as it stands now.
Next, SteveC dropped in with a drums track which suited the song perfectly.
Finally, Henry wrapped it up with a fine mix/master.
LOOKING GLASS: (Lyric: Bob Wood, Arrangement: SmithC/AndyG/Henry Mittnacht)
bpm=98
Intro
Preverse1
Verse1
I can't believe it
How can this be ?
the world I once knew
is only fantasy ...
Can someone tell me
if it's real?
I need to know
how the others feel
Verse2
I can't deny it
could be deranged
the life that I once had -
no longer pre-ordained
will someone show me
if they can ?
try not to lie -
I'm a simple man
Chorus:
Behold the looking glass
strangers behind the scenes
watching as I pass
don't tell me I'm insane
I've heard it all before
And saw something more
So many shattered mirrors blocking every door...
Preverse 1st solo
Verse3:
can't understand this -
what is it I see ?
a world of flashing colors
glowing in front of me
Can someone tell me who they are ? -
Are they from another star ?
Missing time...lost memories
nightmares are the hidden key
Chorus:
Behold the looking glass
strangers behind the scenes
watching as I pass
don't tell me I'm insane
I've heard it all before
And saw something more
So many shattered mirrors blocking every door...
