open your eyes music by rael39 vox lyrics by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

music by rael39, who contacted me via soundclick after hearing me singing cornfields and asking how i got peter gabriel to sing for me and could i get him sing for me.
well it wisnae gabriel in the first place it wiz me so as you can guess after a few beers i sang over his tune.
his original tune is called its ok and can be found at www.soundclick.com/rael39
after singing over it in the style of pg but more like elbow imho song is now called open your eyes.

heres the lyric

you watch and you stare
but you'll never see
you just don't understand

filter out things
you don't wanna hear
you're a one man band

you don't take the time
to figure things out

open your eyes

no man is an island
can't do it alone
you're bitter and twisted
through time on your own
you can't call this living
you never leave home

open your eyes
open your eyes
open your eyes

come out from the darkness
into the light
come out from the darkness
into the light
come out from the darkness
into the light
come out from the darkness
into the light

open your eyes
open your eyes
open your eyes
open your eyes
open your eyes

What I want to know is how Peter Gabriel got Jim to stand in on his last 3 CDs.

haha, im going to have another go at the vox, as i did this very quickly and was singing first thing that come into my head,was also under the influence of san miguel cervaca, so i may tweak the lyrics too now that i'm sober. watch this space.

[Oldrottenhead]

ok i think ive nailed the vox this time. have panned both vox to the middle overlapping them imho that was best mix/sound. tweaked the lyrics a wee bit. new lyrics are posted at www.soundclick.com/thebunkbeds
here is the new mix.

Very cool bump Jim!

I love the "Come out from the darkness" part. That's how I feelt after being in it for two days - Bad wind storm deprived me and 500K surrounding residents of electricity. Some may not get it back for another week.

Loved the song!
