"See The Price" a collabfest original by many of us

[Hook]

This is my take on the "Let's ALL collaborate" post here https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=15765.0
 I started the music yesterday when I saw cuthbert's last line, I almost ended it then (as umpire of course) but as I was posting Kenny mac came in blazing with the last line. I did all of this last night in about 2 hours except the guitar lead/solo which I just did this morning. Thank you to everyone that participated in this I thought it was fun and I dig our tune alot. Recorded on the br900.

1 uke track(chorus)
1 bass
1 lead guitar (stereo)
1 vocal
1 shaker egg
1 ukussion
1 finger cymbal

music & performance by Hook

My inner eye needs glasses (Hook)
As my life's path is not clear (Kenny Mac)
The fog of anxiety creeps whenever you are near(thetworegs)
I pause to reflect at the end of the day (Andy Casson)
To find solace as desolation passes (Mach)

Through this eye I've always seen truth (Hook)
And in my youth, sometimes beauty (cuthbert)
a shadow of my former self (ORH)
This robbery of time is a chapter in etiquette (Burtog)
Like a thief in the night of selfish benefit (Farrell)
Her silhouette waved goodbye and with it went hope(the two regs)

A Lost Summer storm passing in the night (Mach)
Finds it's way to the ground, never one place twice. (launched)
There is no shelter... There is no solice (Rata)
I take my chances ... And roll the dice  (Kenny B)
If this eye could only see the price(Hook)

The complications of time i fear (Burtog)
so am I ready for horse races? (Maxit)
But from this eye there forms a tear (Kenny B)
I'll take my winnings and disappear. (Mach)
In this desert there's nothing to hear. (Steelguitar)

As we drift into the arena of the unwell (Burtog)
The decay of love is all I smell  (Farrell)
& I see no more for my eye's now blind(Hook)
Another moment in time that's been left behind (cuthbert)
All thats left is a memory,all thats left is what I used to see (kenny mac)

[Kenny B]

WOW!!!!! ... This is going to take quite a few more listens to digest ...

Incredible job you've done with these lyrics Hook ... I'm simply blown away!!!

[Burtog]

Yes!

You certainly made LAC 1 a success, as said several listens required, might even do a version myself??

I really like how you worked it all out Hook!


LAC 2 at some point in time would be great.

Well done!!

Man, that was a lot of words to sing...but you pulled it off! I like your arrangement - but now I have to try to forget it and remember my own thrashing from yesterday.
