if 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

Now that was cool!

Man, I can't believe how you fit some of those lines in

Loved this, Dan - cool harp!


Scott

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.

Linda

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

Hi Scott

I'm not quite sure myself how I managed that! Just sort of happened that way...!

thanks man - glad you liked it

Dan

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

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

As always - excellent. I get out of breath just listening. loved it.

Hi Dan

Thanks man! - I think I might go a little more laid back for the next few tunes I'm working on - playing this one live is a killer!

Dan

I can understand that.
