Dear lord thats cool, Hahahahahaha.

Yes this is pretty much the essence of the whole album.

Goodness, this is all moving ahead most impressively. Two new songs, and ACA doing one of them? That will be a real joy.

I'm getting slightly worried that my stuff will be somewhat out of place with all these acoustic gems that are being posted. Mine will feature no finger picked guitars I am afraid, but that's why I chose the Minotaur one - I guarantee that a large object bludnering around is what you will get from me....

Cheers,

Sounds exactly like what we need to inject at this point.

In fact it's a collab of Redler and ACA.

Looking forward to hearing this!

For those who are interested, I added dramatizations and commentary for these songs along with the lyrics.

Here is one more song.
Again, I would prefer to have a new participant on this epic album.

Any takers?


Harlequin Sitting

If all the world's a stage
then I must turn down the part
smothering under smoky cinders
lives a hopeful spark

I cannot play while a war is waged
On illusions I've relied
While I dazzle and I mystify
my thoughts compound like lies

I will not live to jump through hoops
recite lines and sing refrains
a soft voice speaks within my heart
and echos through my veins

I turn my back on this cabaret
The show must not go on
I'll pay the price that I must pay
The clown you've known is gone.



Harlequin Sitting on a Red Couch (1905)

Maybe spoken , or whispered to music.  dark carnival appeals.

i'll see tomorrow as I have a little time

It's all yours!

Take a look at the script to see how it falls into context if you are interested.
It's the second song in...

Have looked and listened.  Now I'll have to up my game.  I'll still go with my initial thoughts and keeping it as a reflective moment in time.  Working towards a goal always makes me look at what I'm doing more objectively.  On going.

Any thoughts on the length?
