Reverse (rough demo)

-------------------------------------------- 
wounded by a violin in heat tasting of the rain 
i became the aperture; i became the iris

with no colors save the greys 
and the only stains are fades 
giving way to just a blank page

now and then it blows my mind 
forward, play, stop, rewind... 
reverse

forward, march! another taste. this time 
a little taste of spain remained inside me 
with its eyes gouged out.

i remember all the veins 
(you know i used to name my veins) 
i named them after the apostles

now and then it wears me thin 
slows me down and puts me in... 
reverse

Daren!  You human beings are at your very best when the chips are down, or when you're producing music like this.  This is a musical stew of Revolver meets Alice in Chains meets Led Zeppelin.  The backward percussion takes me back to my youth.  Your lyrics are in a league of their own.  How come you're not recording Imogen Heap?  The two of you would be a match made in heaven.  Anyway, my hat's off to you!

Hi Daren, I like this, a lot. maybe experimental but it certainly works. Vocals, lead, could be a bit louder, very nice lead guitars .

hey thanks guys :) 

Imogen...yeah i love her- her creativity and enigmatic blend of styles kinda has no parallel... nice to hear you bring her up, Lynn. 

cool Rik- indeed i may have set the vox in the soundbed a bit too much esp in the verses, but i was kinda going for that low-fi sound eg Lennon's 'Give Peace A Chance' which i think was recorded live at Lennon-Ono's "bed-in" bedroom with just a room mic or two 

also Lynn i noticed a few have noted the 'Revolver' homages - that is one of my fav Beatles albums 

excellent feedback- gracias

I've suspected it all along but now I can say you are truly a freak!  Of course, that's good!  Daren, this is a combo of a lot of elements like I think you said.  Kept me interested the whole time.  I will say this is my favorite of yours.
