Kaleidoscope ( featuring guitar by Scott C) Homage to the psychedelic soundtrack of my youth. I`ve been wanting to ask Scott C to contribute his melodic lead to a song and I think I picked the right one. Scott also handled the mix. Play as loud as you would have in 1969! Key=A , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=3:00 4 bar intro, 82 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 86. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _EMOTION.STY (Emotional Rock w/ Strings ) RealTracks in style: 995:Bass, Electric, HardRockLA Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1535:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPowerPushA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1526:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPowerPushA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2508:String Quartet, Rhythm PopEvenHall Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1681:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120 RealDrums in style: RockHardEven8^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Scott`s settup: Guitar Gibson Les Paul Custom Marshall C5 Amp Touch of delay and compression Kaleidoscope when this world is a sliver stuck under your skin chaos spreading through your veins making your head spin take the sunlit road an arms length from the sky there`s a bird in your body remembers how to fly they won`t catch you no they can`t catch you we`ll travel in disguise through a crack in the concrete a crack in the concrete the kaleidoscope of eyes dream of a thousand lives if joy is a pebble sinking in your heart like a junkyard angel your grace falls apart take the sunlit road an arms length from the sky there`s a bird in your body remembers how to fly they won`t catch you no they can`t catch you we`ll travel in disguise through a crack in the concrete a crack in the concrete the kaleidoscope of eyes dream of a thousand lives dream of a thousand lives © Robert Cordrey March 2017

"Play as loud as you would have in 1969!" Hmmmm, in '69 I was still living at home. I would have had the lights down low and the phones on so as not to bother my parents, plus I was probably supposed to be sleeping 'cause the next day was a school day  Nice write, Robert, you certainly captured the mood of the late 60's with your lyrics. Scott sounds great, a good choice for this. He never overplays and that is a nice little melodic hook he came up with. Nice collab you two, enjoyed the listen!

Nice work.

Robert & Scott...
Nice collaboration. Cool retro sound.
The chorus is especially nice. Has a real Airplane sound/feel to it.
Scott's guitar licks fit nicely. Adds some hooks of their own.

Robert and Scott,
You've both done a terrific job here. It's a really strong collaboration and skillfully captures those lyrical and musical elements that made the psychedelia of the 60s what it was. This is definitely a work to be proud of. Both of your performances sounded very comfortable and nestled into the mix perfectly.
I enjoyed it.
All the best,
Noel

Well, fj who's gotta be younger than me nailed the vibe. Airplane!! As Peter said "Very nice collaboration - particularly liked the last stanza both the guitar and vocal." Yep, sounds like a band that's been working together for a while...and for us that is as good as it gets (assuming we dig the genre) Great job y'all on everything -- the performances, the write and the production. We enjoyed it! And will again. I appreciate the trip back...and Janice would also except she was a child -- sometimes the 12 years age difference makes a difference....me (Bud)? I was a sr in college in '67 so the Airplane is indelible. Super collab! J&B

Bob Thank you, Bob - yes, I figured Scott would deliver and he sure did... I think maybe his solo should have been longer. Robert "Play as loud as you would have in 1969!" Hmmmm, in '69 I was still living at home. I would have had the lights down low and the phones on so as not to bother my parents, plus I was probably supposed to be sleeping 'cause the next day was a school day Nice write, Robert, you certainly captured the mood of the late 60's with your lyrics. Scott sounds great, a good choice for this. He never overplays and that is a nice little melodic hook he came up with. Nice collab you two, enjoyed the listen! That was my situation in `69 too... one shared crappy record player with speakers that would rattle & jump around when cranked.Which I did on the rare occasions mum was away. Glad you enjoyed this!

fj Floyd, Ok you found me out -the chorus riff came from a guitar part on an Airplane album. I really like the way Scott picked up on the melody. Thanks for your listen & comments. Robert

Really awesome stuff! That guitar tone is so great, too. Nice and chimey. The chorus is great too, really propulsive, and gives the song a lot of focus.

I could really relate with the feel of the song and his delivery and the melody for the guitar solo came to me very fast..

Thank you Kenny, The Airplane were gods to me for a while. I was looking for an old Fillmore poster for the picture but this one was better. Robert Robert and Scott,

Your comments about Janice missing out on that amazing time in music reminds me to be thankful to have been around to partake... albeit from another continent. Robert Really awesome stuff! That guitar tone is so great, too. Nice and chimey. The chorus is great too, really propulsive, and gives the song a lot of focus. Thanks, Will. I love that guitar tone Scott used too. Robert

Wonderful job. David, Wow, that has made my day. I really enjoyed the "research" for this song - listening to Forever Changes, After Bathing At Baxters etc for the first time in decades blew me away. I did not, I should add, need any other " high" to remember the feeling. Robert

Hello, Robert and Scott
Very nice collaboration.
The melody is very good which start reminds me of 9th symphony of Beethoven.
The chord progression is very unique.
Unresolved ending chord is also nice.
Scott's guitar is very pleasant as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
