Flying High & Low - Completely Reduxed & Reworked With Flash Harry & Geir

[Greeny]

I very rarely tinker with a song once it's recorded, but felt this one needed some attention and skills that I don't possess. And boy, did my buddies come up with the goods! Still on cloud nine having just heard this fully mixed.

Completely re-recorded:

Acoustic guitars, vocals & a dash of synth - me.

Fretless Bass - Flash Harry

Lead Guitar - Geir

Kind of simpler & more acoustic, kind of not.

I'll never join the rest
i'll never have a faith to test
i just alternate between the stars and the underworld

the lights are growing dim
but i don't want to sink or swim
i just want to fly with this burdened wings unfurled

straight down the middle of the sky
flying high and low
between the moon and terra firma mines
flying high and low

dig me out a diamond with your smile
flying high and low
strung out on the jet trails in your eyes
flying high and low

i need a holiday
i need to get away
to a medieval town
shadows winding round

sometimes my dreams are blind
but I'm escaping in my mind
looking for the magic formula to leave the ground

straight down the middle of the sky
flying high and low
between the moon and terra firma mines
flying high and low

dig me out a diamond with your smile
flying high and low
strung out on the jet trails in your eyes
flying high and low

I just want to clear the treetops
I just want to rise above
the mud and blood

straight down the middle of the sky
flying high and low
between the moon and terra firma mines
flying high and low

dig me out a diamond with your smile
flying high and low
strung out on the jet trails in your eyes
flying high and low

And you've done good.

What a great way to beat the lockdown, letting your imagination free.


Lovely track Tim, I do like the sound of your Tanglewood.

[Ella]

Yes. Very nice tune. We are also lockdown with Kari. Looking how it´s snowing outside. I´m singing along and Kari´s toe is tapping.

[Oldrottenhead]

braw bro.

[Greeny]

I did an unplugged version of this on Youtube, and it sounded better stripped back. So I'm going to completely re-work this. Hopefully with the help of a few musical friends and elves.

[kenny mac]

Cool looking forward to hearing that.
Have you got a link for version in YouTube?

[Redler]

Superb job! The melody on chorus is so beautiful and catchy!

[Johnbee]

Wishing you would've put up the lyrics.  I get most but a few aren't quite clear.  The chorus stands out as particularly great but the synth going on to me doesn't sound needed.  Enjoyed the thoughtfulness of the presentation overall.

Nice one, as always great songwriting and great listen, need to lookup that Utube version.
