Here's the inspiration of the morning. Music, words and recording all done this morning in the space of three hours. I often get tired of singing popular western music and just want to do my own thing.
I was inspired in this song particularly by the C# tuning my guitar found itself in. Changing strings and changing temperatures cause interesting things for guitars. I already tune to D instead of E (that's a full step down on all strings), but I 'feel' things in certain keys more than others, I tried tuning it up to D but I couldn't feel it there. So here's my hocus pocus. I just do what feels right.
A song in C sharp minor for my deep voice.
I hope you enjoy the track for its simplicity and reflection.
Thanks, Monty
The fire photo for this track was taken at a jam session had at the old Dust Monster Social Centre in Dulwich Hill in Sydney, which I assisted in running.. over 7 years ago.
lyrics
Dream of the dew drops falling on the leaves
Dream of the forest and the life that it teams
Dream of a place where all are satisfied
of ignorance or intelligence, it need not matter which lie
I hear you've made a fire
A fire without a name
I hear you've made a fire
To burn and burn this game
Dream of a big blaze, the biggest you've ever seen
Dream of a world changed and purged of false needs
Dream of a reset for us all to behold
Dream of a fresh world, and not as leaders have sold
I hear you've made a fire
A fire without a name
I hear you've made a fire
To burn and burn this game
I hear you've made a fire
A fire without a name
I hear you've made a fire
To burn and burn this game
