Description: Here's my take on a haunting pop tune written by Jimmy Webb from the 70's...

You're really projected this song out into space.

Such nuanced playing…the drum entrance is stunning!

This is wonderful! So beautiful, and expertly realized.

Gorgeous Derek, gorgeous guitars and a gorgeous production!

You make this tune talk, no surprise. Miss playing with you bro!

What a GREAT track Derek!!! And a great song by Jimmy Webb!

I'm so grateful that this got reposted as it too good to be out of sight. Who needs a singer when we have a guitarist like you. Thanks for sharing Derek

"The Line"

(v1)
Why you go and make pretend
That you were my friend
When all this time 
You  were keepin' score

How's it feel to live a lie
And tell me that I'm wrong
How you gonna testify
If you never sang the song

(p/c)
Don't know what's been goin' on
Inside your head
All the time you spend alone
Has left you with a deficit

(Ch)
It's hard to know the line
But you crossed it the last time
I ain't got no more time
For you

(v2)
Life has its ups & downs
One day it can turn around
I ain't never said 
I'm better than you

You've got me at the precipice
It's a stupid way to get your kicks
I think I've done
All I can do

(p/c)
Don't know what's been going on
Inside your head
I think it's time for me to fly
Don't need your recompense 

(ch)

The Line

“Father Burns (In His Cell)”

Sights to fill their eyes
Noise to fill their ears
All the show man can devise

Rod of gold for my mind
Four walls for my flesh
All to serve a higher life

Yet still I hold out
A hope for the past
And a hope for a new Passover
Free of the beast of Babylon

But I know it’s going to be a long time
Til I cast my eyes over
Over the land of paradise

Until then—I kneel
Down in silence
Until then—kneel
Down in darkness
Down in crooked crosses
Down in blasted wombs
Down in forked gossip
Down in cortex tombs

Nothing’s new under the sun
Variety beggars surprise
More and more makes man less than

Nothing’s old to the wise
Lost truths discovered anew
With empty hands man claims his prize

Yet still I hold out
A hope for the future
And a hope for a new higher culture
The renaissance of a pantheon

But I fear it’s going to be a long time
Til we lift our spirits higher
Higher to a new-world paragon

Until then—I kneel
Down in silence
Until then—kneel
Down in darkness
Down in heroes’ ashes
Down in wearied words
Down in exhausted passion
Down among the herds

Back again with the Pinner and Stringburner on our new original We're Getting There.  Perhaps it's a little optimistic given what's going on around the world but why not start our new year with a positive outlook.  Stephan weaves in an out along the syncopated groove and Mirko's doing his beautiful thing on bass.  Check out and follow these really fine musicians:
