Hi Folks Here's a new song - 'Byzantium' http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=217840&songID=5346791if anybody fancies a listen.... Dan You're the lady of the river You always make me shiver With a racy glaciated dirty smile You are handsome, you were sweet And dancing to a beat That was 57 seconds out of style Natural and cool The product of a school That always gives pleasure to the poor Animated, swift An unexpected gift All your holy icons in a row Always looking west Always looking east And always looking sideways at the devil on your shoulder You were strong and you were tall Just before the fall That made every living breath a disaster A miracle of light A kiss before goodnight All the unexpected beauty of an unexpected fight You were handsome, you were pure And always de rigeur The west of the well-dressed dandy northern men You're the lady of the river You always make me shiver With your racy glaciated northern smile

That was one wild ride!! Interesting slide guitar in there and nice danceable rythym too. Wild lyrics--I don't quite understand 'em but lots of imagery and stuff going on in there. My one nit is I might like to hear a killer catchy melody in there somewhere, but the talk-singing is OK too.

I could sense kind of a ZZ Top kind of feel if some electric guitar and some drum work was placed in. I can only speak of rock since that is mainly what I get into.
I liked the harmonica. Got quite a nice tuneful out of it and the lyrics seemed to fit the mood.
Fun listen!
Matt

Linda Hey Linda I'm afraid that's my 'voice' - maybe I should try and 'sing' a bit more sometimes, but I suspect that's about as good as it gets! I've been writing some new tunes recently, and a couple of them seem to be a bit more 'folky', so maybe I'll try applying some melody... thanks for having a listen Dan

Matt Hi there Matt - thanks for having a listen I see what you mean about the ZZ Top feel - I guess they do stand on a line where blues meets blues rock, so electricity would do something similar to this song. cheers Dan
