This is an unashamed "Pink-Floyd-Soundalike" track. I wrote the intro some time ago, along with some lyrics and a rough chord structure. When my good friend Steve Perrett (songsparrow) joined MCS and wanted to collaborate on something I threw this at him and asked what he could do with it. After a lyric re-write and some changes to the structure, this is the final result. John Wooten(jwoo10) did a stellar job on the drums, as usual, and nailed the Nick Mason style.

Thank you, my friends, for bringing this one to life :)

John Wooten,  (jwoo10) : Drums
Steve Perrett, (songsparrow) : Words and Music, Bass, Guitar, Vocals, Synth
Mick Lovering (Mickbrit55) : Words and Music, Guitar, Keyboards, Synth, Mixing

30 Years - (c) Mike  Lovering and Steve Perrett 2010

Something tells you break these boundaries
Try to flee mentalities
That would try your sanity

Hear the calling rising from the street
Are you dancing to the beat
Is the song of life complete

Hold together for the children
Hold together for your soul

Crush the walls that try to block the breeze
Cast your gaze onto the seas
Feel the earth beneath your knees

Smash the slimline TV to the floor
Keep imposters from the door
Make your homelife something more

Hold together for the children
Hold together for your soul

30 years they stayed together
Joy and tears
Through stormy weather
30 years should be forever
But she walked out...

Shadows gonna chase you for a while
Never frown, and try to smile
Were those 30 years worthwhile?

Feel the sudden itch of growing old
Take a Scratch and break the mold
Now the other side is cold

Hold together for the children
Hold together for your soul

Im so glad to see this done. Im listening to this now, and I've always loved this.

Great playing and mix, you guys got the Floyd thing down to a P or F :).

One of my recent MCS favs, its going to be on heavy rotation on my i-pod for sure.

Hope to be able to hook up with you guys for a collab along the same vein soon.

Mick mate - can you post an ape file for this please. I like listening in the best quality possible.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Andy, looking forward to our next collab :)

Hmm ... won't let me post the ape. It's 60mb, probably why. Let me know if I can upload it somewhere else for you to get it ok?
