Ciao friends, here's the last one from me and Tim, it's been very funny. At the beginning I misunderstood the song title thinking about a bulldozer LoL, which is not (or maybe is, if you listen at the powerful drums ostinato). Anyway, here we come ... (Tim added to the backtrack vocals + the sitar drone and the tabla drum, cool additions)
 
Caterpillar

caterpillar in the sun
waiting for your wings to come
days and shadows stretch so long
listen to my eastern song

everybody in this town
doesn't know you'll wear a crown
robes in violet, blue and green
like a kite with painted wings

Soon your butterfly will be

how long have you been waiting?
how long anticipating?

caterpillar by the moon
in luna parks of velvet blue
wonder where you're going to
and what you're gonna do

caterpillar in the tree
soon your butterfly will be

soon your butterfly will be
soon your butterfly will be
soon your butterfly will be
soon your butterfly will be

Now this is right up my street. Love the Tanpura drone and tabla - they blend so well with the piano melody and the gentle vocals and lyrics.

Well done, gentlemen.

the song has a very soothing pulse and feel...it reminds me of something Redler and Ella might record... it has a great vibe... very wonderful

Beautiful gents. Lovely soundscape and really suits those lovely lyrics and great vocal melody. Put me in mind of the great vibe I get listening to Cat Stevens... really tranquil and soothing.

Beautiful song guys. I love the sound and feel of this, it has a Beatles vibe when they were going through their Indian/ sitar phase. Brilliant lyrics and vocals.
I have 2 profiles on this site, (NOW COMBINED INTO ONE PROFILE PAGE)
 One is a musical partnership with Keith Allen, ( we record songs as "The Devil's Toupee").
The 2nd one is for my other musical projects and collaborations. (DarrenG)
Thanks for listening.

It's raining outside and i wanted to hear something light. But what did i get? The sound of great musicianship and witty (snotty?) eastern influenced pop. 60's vibe. Great songwriting and production.

Catepillar? I once ate one and it tasted like nothing this song sounds.
