"Inside my dreams there's harmony that promises great things.
A primal voice now makes the choice and sweetly it too sings."

Janice selected the above for a quote.

The write is epic. Man, all those AABB rhymes are amazing. It would take Bud years to do that for one song smile It would make great poetry or even prose and your vocals and arrangement certainly make it a great song.

And as Janice said, Dave's guitar work is "mighty fine." That's southern for damn good smile And that is one powerful convincing vocal.

Take all that and add a terrific bass foundation, an excellent mix and you have a, simply stated, great production including the vid that no doubt took a ton of work.

Wowzers!

This is deep!

I believe it may require a second listen.

A transcendental voyage into the inner sanctum of the mind.

Cool!

It was very kind (and lenient) of you to help me approaching the lyrics with that synopsis - thanks so much for your patience - I think the lyrics are absolutely remarkable. Don't know many people (if any...) who could write something like this.

No doubt, Marty, you are a very special and eclectic human being.

All the best,

Stefan




Hi, Stefan!! Thanks!! If we ever get together, all I'm going to want to do is talk about and play your songs.

Thank you, Scott!! So glad you like it.

Leon


Thanks, Leon. Haha. Marty Robbins. I know him as the guy who always comes up when searching for myself. I remember him from Rosa's cantina. We were both searching for enlightenment then.

Good video too.


Thanks for your very kind comment, jtpjtpjtp.

Thanks, Tom. For a bit there you were kinda my hero when I thought you were playing on the road for several months. Since you straightened me out, you're now my hero for your 5-month camping trip.

My best to you both,

Deej


WOW! Thanks so much, Deej. Thanks for noticing the internal rhymes. wink

Thanks, OM! [i like the e e cummings signature type] YES!! You mention that harmonic chord Dave plays at 3:10. I was floored by the whole solo (all of his tracks really), and he does another at the very end. You're so kind.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I can't mention you enough on this one, Dave. Your enthusiasm, guidance, and PLAYING for this one gave it the energy it needed. Yeah, your arps are perfect and your fills add so much, but that solo... man, it doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks, Greg. I was playing some of your songs for my 7 year-old granddaughter the other day, and she said, "Wow, Babu, you KNOW this guy?"

Wow. You are a top, top-notch musician, that much is clear. The text is thought-provoking, the production seamless. Dave Bell does a tremendous job, here, too. The bass and singing are excellent. As you may gather, I like it :-)

Someone (I think it was Janice and Bud) mentioned the word "epic". That just about sums it up, for me. Well done!!!

Marty and Dave, this is hands down my favorite track you guys have done! I think it's hitting high marks in every area! Marty, the vocal is your best to date IMHO! Dave's guitar work really makes this track sound sweet! Those arpeggios throughout really give the track a distinctive sound! Great work all around! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Marty,

This is something different, isn't it? Very, very well done!
I really enjoyed hearing you singing that (big) lyrics and you did that with passion!
Far away in the distance I got some feelings from that Rawhide song, if you can remenber that.
But far better and more distinguished, so I hope I didn't offend you.
And I had a nice listen to it in a warm sojourn, so to say...

Have a nice weekend, Marty!
Hans

Terrific job on both song and video Marty.
Sometimes long songs don't hold my attention. You kept me listening all the way from start to finish. Kudos to Dave too.

The blue bus is calling us!
Weird scenes inside the gold mine!

I knew Mojo wasn't dead.

He's alive!

It's Marty! And Robby Krieger is Dave!!

Whoah!!!!!!!!!

Riders on the Storm man!

Time to dance with the spirit of a million golden dawns and break on through to the other side!!!!


Goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a finely textured production.

The bass and Dave's guitars are out of this world and give the song its unique, pleasing sound.

Utterly fantastically done!
