~~~~~
Can hardly lift my feet
my mind is slipping, drifting free
I hear a distant call
from right beside me, or not at all

Dreams and visions
merge to one
a maze of thoughts
the slide's begun

can hardly raise my head
my vision's blurry, eyelid's dead
I see a turn up front
It's behind me, I can't go on

clouds and sunshine
merge to one
a haze of thoughts
the slip has come

--

noise and music
merge to one
a crazy thought
the sleep has begun

Great laid back feel,sounds excellent, no rough take to me this is so dreamy and cool, maybe some acoustic fill in between the vox, but only my opinion, top class!!!

[Oldrottenhead]

wow this is beautiful geir i love the structure of this one, some of the chord changes remind me of jimmy webb at times, you are flying high my viking friend.

[T.C. Elliott]

I agree that the laid back feel works great. The vocals are good and that bass is perfect. Not in the way but helps the song along.

[Bluesberry]

Very good Geir.  Reminds me of something, but a totally original Geir.  Pink Floyd from the "Echoes" era, perhaps is what it makes me think of, a mellow and very lyrical David Gilmour.

Gotta lurve those cool drifty 9ths.

Dreamy and chilled. It's a great sound and lovely bass line. Fab song Geir.

[Tony W]

brilliant Geir. I don't know anything about 9ths, but this was a mood setter of a song. Nice dreamy piece of heaven.

[SwanSong]

[OsCKilO]

Gotta lurve those cool drifty 9ths.

"Can I get a F**k Yeah!"

Thats what I think of it!

[Ferryman_1957]

Great dreamy song Geir, wonderful performance and lovely chord structure. Really nice lyrics that creates a very cool atmosphere. Lovely work.

Cheers,
