Normet 2013 Let It Flow recorded live in the hut

[Oldrottenhead]

this song is dedicated to Robert, hope you can make it next time.

details to follow.

Lost to the world
Alone on the road
Traffic has stopped
And I don't know where to go
At the mercy of fate
They're closing the gate
Like a stone in the stream
Let the water flow
Over me
Let the water flow
All around
Wherever I may go
Let it take me
Release me release me
From the flow
Caught in a web
Hey I'm All tangled up
Ain't no way out
And no one gonna help
I can't play with these cards
That I have been dealt
Like a fish in a pond
Let the water flow etc

Let It Flow

[thetworegs]

First great song and sentiment, and loved your vocal Jim, what else can you do but let it flow over you at least shit always slides down hill. The father in law has a great term for a bad day when it all goes wrong, he calls it an interesting day, I on the otherhand call it a B€\#^ rd of a day of which im sure Rob had on Friday ...so wether it was interesting or a B€\#^rd my heart goes out to you Rob, but there's always next time.....

[Redler]

Brilliant! Loved the guitars, they sound great! And Jim's voice...stunning! Perhaps, this song doesn't exist without the car accidents on motorway... For next time, Rob...

[Flash Harry]

There was a crash on the M25, and then a crash and oil spillage on the M11 - Rob had too much to fight against. He made it to the gate just as it had closed. It was distressing.

Cool song. Very catchy chorus. Is that the melodica at 1:30? Sounds good.

It's too bad Rob didn't make it. I hope there will be another opportunity for him to join you guys in the future.

[Oldrottenhead]

yeah it was melodica, singing and then switching to melodica then back to vocals live was certainly a challenge.

and yeah rob hopefully next time.

i can't recall who did what on this one tho i am pretty sure geir came up with the tune, then tim came up with the line "like a stone in a stream let the water flow" and spoke about some whacked out buddhist saying, that was enough info for me, that and thinking about the nightmare Robert went through. i then came up with the rest of the lyrics for  the song pretty quickly after tim's input.

if any of the guys remember who did what let me know and i'll update the info.

I'm so sorry about Rob, but so far I think this could be my favourite. Roscoe

[Gu Djin]

Sounds good to me.  Has soul/feeling that is often hard to portray.  Good stuff.

I am not sure why but this brought to mind the feeling that a favourite of mine used to inspire.  Maybe I am too old for you to remember them?  "The Yardbirds".  Not the same as - just a reminiscence.
