I started this by messing around with different guitar effects and presets in logic pro and guitar rig..lots of delays and echo effects, reverb and some backwards guitar, Then added some drums and sent the track to keith who wrote lyrics for it. Maybe a bit long :)
Thanks for listening. Darren and keith

SPACE

Too far...far...far...
Space, I've got it over here...you've got it over there
You keep it kinda close... I keep it kinda near
What we all do fear
I can't reach... out that far
Touch the space... where you are...

Space, It's creeping round the edge...it's damning every nerve
It's taking up my time...it's slipping through my hands
All these things I fear...
I can't reach... out that far...too far

Space, I've got it over here...you've got it over there
You keep it kinda close...I keep it kinda near
I keep it kinda near...I keep it kinda near...keep it kinda here

It's here...it's here...
Where the light meets the...where the dark meets the...
Where the love meets the...where the hate meets the...
Where the earth meets the...where the earth meets the space
We all...do end...right here.
Space!... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

geesh louishe!  what a ear treat!  wow this is fantabulous.....

it has numerous cool things... I will start with the vocals ...they are really good and I really like the "space" call and repeats... very intersting.
the guitars are so well played and recorded, and the mixing is perfect...placement in the sound field etc...
its like Yes invaded Red Rider and became a Roundabout Lunatic Fringe.... this is really super.
I will be delighted to hear this again and again!  Well done Darren and Keith!

oh yeah and it at times has a bit of The Police feel to the muse!

I love the vocals, and the guitar playing is superb.
All the instrumentation, and the background inverted stuff is fabulous.
This song is spacey and atmospheric, and I love it!!!
Simply beautiful sounding song!!!

Bravo what a song great production your messing with the guitar effects has put them over the top and then you add the fantastic vocals and treatment and you end up with a song for my play list

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

This is damn fine! Has a proggy element like The Alan Parsons Project, but there's a whole load of fantastic pop hooks and cool twists and turns. Quite a lot of Bowie too, especially on the exclaimed 'Space' backing vox. The backwards stuff is very psychedelic. It's a brilliant track - immaculately constructed and performed. It's not too long - there's so much going on that it doesn't get repetitive. Amazing!

The production is terrific. There is a lot air in the mix. Something that I struggle to achieve. Well done sir. Ear candy

No its not too long! A lot of fine sounds to hear from beginning to end. It has a broadway musical quality to it, that's cool!

Very cool work!

A bit dark atmosphere of the backer fits nicely on lyrics. Fantastic production and performance. I'm on my second listening...

Great bit bit of proggy loveliness. I'm sure this would fit into the psychedelic fest. Some great guitar playing/tones and effects. Fabulous stuff lads.
