I repurposed some older lyrics for this collab. with my long time musical friend H. Dreschel.
Credits:
H. Dreschel - all music.
Farrell Jackson - all vocals, mix, and LANDR master.
"Orchid Faded Sky 2.0" (Farrell Jackson 2023)
Just fell out of a fairy tale
Flying low without a sail
Just inches from the ground
Looking up and falling down
The air burns my eyes
It's another painted sky
The air burns my eyes
It's another orchid faded sky
Gloomers, doomers, and boomers alike
Searching for another pay hike
Multi-zones and climate controls
Spare parts from future clones
The air burns my eyes
It's another painted sky
The air burns my eyes
It's just another orchid faded sky
(solo)
The air burns my eyes
It's just another painted, orchid faded sky
Billionaires just having fun
Flying spaceships to the sun
Driver friendly steering wheels
They cure it all with dollar bills
And the air still burns my eyes...

I always love your vocals Farrell, they're dependably excellent. I like the high/ low tracks. The mix and production quality is great. That guitar line is very cool too.
Another keeper!
my goodness man.... this track is blowing my mind.... I was reading the lyrics to this while listening...
what a perfect expression of what we have around now!
The music sets a theatrical, almost Bond like scape.... danger, adventure, the unknown looms. It's alot of wonderment to get lost into... at times it sounds Rush like (more for the ones who heard most of their music... not so much the radio stuff.)
I will say this is so up there I cannot find a spaceship with enough lift to get me up to see this!
I love what you did vocally as well.... the backing vocals and leads reminds me of the way Steve Miller did stuff, not that you sound like him per se but the way you go about it.... the octave stuff... I love that.
I hope I hear this a thousand times!
Neat vocal work. Very intense music. Very nice!

Everything cooking in this great track. Excellent instrumentation & vocals along with awesome production/arranging not to mention great lyrics.
Always just rock music that you know you will enjoy.
Yes vocal, guitar and recording top stuff, loved it!!
I am pretty moved by this one, and will not be disrespectful with expletives combined with silly banter. Simon says all the way. And that fake ending, loved that. Perfect music with awesome doubled/panned vox.
Just keep it down Marky boy. You can do it.
Wait... Simon said something. I have to break my promise, this is too good.
Fuck yeah this rocks!!!! Naked through the streets with headphones on rockin'!
I'm an idiot, but the song is awesome - Well done guys
What a great song and collaboration guys. The music is top drawer. Your vocals are awesome as always.
I always look forward to clicking play on your posts. They can go anywhere genre-wise, and the arrangement, execution, and production is always so pro.
Great tune as per your usual.

I have heard this more than 10 times now and I am sticking with my first obs... one of my favorite bands, in the late 80's and into the early 90's (Rush) went into a sound direction such as this... and I bloody loved it.... however this ain't exactly that... the guitars and bass and drums most certainly are... but not vocally... that is all you man... but forget the comps, they don't matter.... this is a great tune ...
PERIOD! END OF STORY!

Wicked bump, still rocks!
Wow, Farrell. I had to go dig out the old CD to hear the original version again.
This is a fantastic modernization. Harry really nailed the music track. Great rocker and excellent vocals.
As I was listening, I kept thinking the title and lyrics were somehow familiar. I did a search here and found the original (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=10916.msg145946#msg145946), which was your intro here!
This version is quite different than the original - more of a full-blown 80s-style arrangement, with some very cinematic touches. I could picture this version as a James Bond-style theme song. Excellent work on the new music from H. Dreschel, and your recut vocals and mixing.
Well done, gentlemen!
I really like the backers, a lots of stuff and everything has put well together!
Farrell's voice is always a pleasure to hear, great lyrics, too! The double voice is icing on the cake!
