Watching the Black (Now with printed Lyrics)

[Wookiee]

A little something from my archives, as the last vocal did not hit the right notes.

Watching The Black

[Bajan Blue]

Hi Wookie

Very Floydy and very good - really enjoyed the listen - and can I ask re the vocals? Are they you?

Thank you Nigel, yes it is all Wookiee vocal, real Fender Strat played  by real Wookiee clawed paws, SD 3 and assorted keys. I think I even played my bass on this.

Thanks Andy it's appreciated.

Very fun. Just liken when I listened to "Atom Heart Mother" while perfectly straight, the room started spinning. ?

Production is faultless, but I had trouble understanding the words! Not sure why.

Compositionally, I'm not a fan of the bass and guitar playing the same melody throughout, but that's an artistic choice. It was executed flawlessly.

Fun stuff!

Thank you Mark, you are risking lives re vocals, you are probably right but the 88 note keyboard is just there and very immediate.

I liked this one Wookiee - I liked your use of panning as well - it had a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe to it - nicely done.

OK  OK as it happens given a chance there is something fermenting that will probably work best with some LP, Strat  & maybe some Tele. I also hear a bell ?.

I second that.  That was immediately the vibe I got.  Really well done.

For you Barry

Lyrics for Watching the Black.

Here I lie In This Box
Watching the Black
With long dead Sightless Eyes.

Watching the Black

Here I lie In This Box
Whilst Dreams of the past
Fill my Empty Skull

Whilst Dreams of the past
Fill my Empty Skull

Here I lie In This Box
Watching the Black
With long dead Sightless Eyes.

[Byron Dickens]

Floyd is right. Early Pink Floyd, like when Syd was still around.
