Revisiting The Past (featuring Pipes)

[Ray Brookes]

Here again writing a song that I can not sing so I asked Nick for help and he did a fantastic job in his inimitable style. Thanks a million, Nick.


I have a little dream
Save all my money and buy myself a time machine
Then up on board I'll climb, go hurling back in time
Some changes I will make
Have a shot at righting wrongs, correcting some mistakes
Tightly in my fist, I have a little list

It isn't hard to do it isn't hard to figure out that I still think of you
Through the looking glass
Revisiting the past

Your house on "Willow Walk"
Our whispered pillow talk
Early clumsiness beneath sheets on feathered mattress
The conversation got lighter I said I'd be a writer;
You said you'd be an actress

I'll freeze the time that year
Turn off the time machine and disengage the gears
Consult my lists and charts, mend some broken hearts
And yours will be a good place to start

It isn't hard to do it isn't hard to figure out that I still think of you
Through the looking glass
Revisiting the past

Writing style is a bit different for you, Ray, or does it just sound different by the awesome vocal work by Nick?
Beautiful piece of music.

[StephenM]

yes, a great match... wow... so great...

Nick gets vocally real high... as in to some amazing places...  I would guess this was in progress before the MET last weekend? 
I gotta believe there was some incredible transfer of energy at that gathering in the north of England. 
the vocals here are indeed wonderful and amazing..

but the music is just as great... a wonderful group here... I applaud... beautiful

[chapperz66]

Spine-tingling stuff.  Sheer brilliance.

Awesome track guys. I think having met Pipes at the MET puts a whole new perspective on visualization of the performance. Great music and fantastic vocals.

Nick has some character in his voice. It's made for storytelling and song. Beautiful track guys.

After a few listens now... this is gorgeous.

Well done chaps.

[Pipes]

A big thanks to Ray for Inviting me to sing on this gem.

I had so much fun and that's what it's all about.

Excellent song writing once again. Love your lyrics and melodies too

Cheers
Nick
