Bajan Blue Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Hi guys The third track off our new album has just been released today - it's called African Skies - this track means quite a lot to us as we love Africa and Africans and spend a great deal of time in Africa. But what goes on can be very dispiriting at times, . One of these days, hopefully Africa will start to produce leaders who aren't just thieves and despots!! Anyway here's the track, hope you enjoy Nigel African Skies Swirling across The arid Plain Dust taints the sky Water holes dry Crops all gone Just waiting for Time to die African skies Majestic and cruel Save your remorse For tomorrow African skies Mountains so tall Earth blood red With sorrow Struggles continue Over the Land Slaughter night and day Some people claim The Land is theirs But history's in the way African skies Majestic and cruel Save your remorse For tomorrow African skies Mountains so tall Earth blood red With sorrow Now it’s time To count the cost Hate and intolerance abide Corruption means Poverty and death People just try to survive African skies Majestic and cruel Save your remorse For tomorrow African skies Mountains so tall Earth blood red With sorrow
bjornpdx Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Nigel You got your sentiment across very well in the video and lyrics. The vocalist's performance is excellent. Life in Africa depends on whoever is in control and some of the leaders have been beyond despotic. Much of the continent is beautiful - the landscape and the people so it's especially tragic when an oppressive government takes over.
DeeringAmps Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 You’ve got a fan here! Production values; top notch. Performances; ditto. Total package, wishing you best of luck. Tom
F.J. Lamela Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I say as Tom said. Quote You’ve got a fan here! Production values; top notch. Performances; ditto. Total package, wishing you best of luck. I agree!
freddy j Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Excellent!!! The music is most impressive as is the vocal performance. The music has a very majestic sound that certainly complements very poignant lyrics. All of this in turn is complemented by a very impressive. Good luck with the album!
Bajan Blue Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 Hi Freddy Thanks so much for the great comments - really appreciated Nigel
SteveC Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 I liked it... As mentioned above it got the point across well, while at the same time almost having a sort of sad Celtic feel. Nice.
noynekker Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 It's a beautiful song and a beautiful recording. Wow, I think the vocal performance is simply amazing. Can you tell us who the singer is ? The synthesizer work is also top shelf, new age to my ears. Sorry, I don't even want to categorize this one, I just thoroughly enjoyed listening to it !
paulo Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Yup, that all sounds like you know what you're doing. #jealous.
daryl1968 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Fabulous Nigel. Your vocalist's voice reminds me of Joan Armatrading at times and I'm a big fan
