Imagine (4 Young Lads)

I wrote this song with 60s Rock in mind. The Beatles helped lead the way, so it has a strong wording that it is about The Beatles. But it is more about what was happening in the 60s.

There must have been a billion girls
Tears in their eye's crying out Pauls name
Dad said the worlds gone crazy
The news man said the kids have all gone insane
Yeah - thats when the whole thing blossomed
Sure did change those whorn out borring days
Bulbs popping - camras rolling
Life was young
Rock N Roll had set a blaze

Chorus

Imagine four young lads
Setting the world on fire
Imagine a craze so mad
Out of control with desire

There must have been a billion guys
Stars in their eye's playing out Johns songs
Mom said their hair's so shabby
The barber said that hair's just way to long
Yeah - that's when the party started
Felt like it was never gonna end
Drums pounding guitar screaming
Grass was green
Peace and love had set a trend

Repeat chorus

Oh good times they never have to end
You can visit any time you want - just bring your ears and your mind to attend

This has your signature sound, though I found the vocals sound a little thin and the strings over power them in a few places.  Thanks for sharing.

wookie it's just a DEMO :D:D.  I loved the lyrics on this, really first rate.

OH I see David, my mistake I should remember not to review things like A Bull in a china shop.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. I know you both mean well. However, I try not to post any thing that sounds like a demo. So, I really hope it didn't sound like just a demo. I post finished songs. I did think the strings in the mix was a bit over the vocals in the chorus. I though it gave it a bit more pop. Sounds like it didn't work.

Loved the lyrics and the chorus brings back the moment ...well done mate!

terry -love your music - love this. The only thing I don't particularly like are the sound of the drums - they sound "dead" to me. Well played and interesting listen.

Terry,
 
Nice track, like the song and vocal performance.   The lyrics are very cool.     The drums are a little muffled or dead sounding and the strings a bit overpowering but overall very good.
