Song 12 for Day 12 of FAWM.org
An alternate place, a different New Zealand. A future that is past, and a past that is now.
Dream world, waking world, walking dream.
Moog Model 15, Rickenbacker 4003s Bass, '52 Tele, Tama Club Jam.
Yellow flowers that glow in the night
The trail ahead is filled with their light
Shallow footsteps fall between the lines and I call your name
The passageway is lined with kauri trees
The Moonlight filters down in between the leaves
Shallow footsteps follow me and so begins another dream
Fading shadows, a growing glimmer
The Old Ones light the flame
Drifting forwards and falling backwards
The Old Ones call my name
Gentle hands to lay me down
A ring of leaves I wear for a crown
Shallow footsteps land between the Coral Sea and waning Winter Moon
The path ahead leads to the path behind
A random act that feels undefined
The closer I become to me the farther I will fall today

this is awesome. it’s real moody. the drums have an almost trip hop vibe about them. great synths. cool lyrics

Mmh, I like this dream. The massive synth sounds and your calm singing go together well. The text paints colourful pictures.
