Distant Memory by Donn DeVore from the album "The Long Way" coming October 20 2023

A distant memory coming through another time
It make me feel like it’s 1985
I hear a sound I get lost, trip back in time
It make me feel like it’s 1985

Where did you go what did you do with all the time?
I’m looking back I see all we have designed
When I am alone and then this sound drifts through my mind
It make me feel like it’s 1985

A deja vu takes me back to days gone by
It makes me feel like it’s 1985
Living the future distant memory from past
Learned the hardest lesson this is it, baby nothing lasts

Where did you go what did you do with all the time?
I’m looking back I see all we have designed
When I am alone and then this sound drifts through my mind
It make me feel like it’s 1985

Where did you go what did you do with all the time?
I’m looking back I see all we have designed
When I am alone and then this sound drifts through my mind
It make me feel like it’s 1985



"The Long Way" is a unique musical theater experience designed specifically for the virtual world of Second Life. Through the use of cutting-edge technology such as virtual environments, avatars, CGI video, AI video, and concept art, along with live musical performances, audiences are transported on an immersive journey through an original story. This production brings together a variety of multimedia elements, including voice acting and musical performances, to create a truly dynamic and interactive performance that blurs the line between reality and the virtual world.

In a dystopian future world, Lex, an android technician, and his synthetic assistant Ami embark on a journey to find a secret medicine that can cure his mysterious chronic illness. Their quest takes them from the dystopian city to a forbidden forest deep within the restricted zone, where they meet a medicine woman who prepares Lex for a transformational ceremony.

Lyrics

Stay
-----------------

Look into my eyes, 
tell me what you see,
the burned out wreckage,
of who I used to be

Yeah, you lift me up,
showed me how to carry on,
Yeah, you showed me how to see
Girl, you set me free

*Chorus*
Take my Hand, and walk with me,
Through this world, of fantasy
and Live this Life we'll never leave,
I will stay with you, will you Stay with me

Look inside my heart,
you complete my soul,
the endless circle,
Its you who makes me whole

Yeah, you lift me up,
showed me how to carry on,
Yeah, you showed me how to feel,
Girl, you make it real

*Chorus*
Take my Hand, and walk with me,
Through this world, of fantasy
and Live this Life we'll never leave,
I will stay with you, will you Stay with me

Repeat ......

Lyrics 

Forever
-----------

I would wait Forever, Forever and a day,
I'd sail across the Ocean, just to hear you say,
The words that I've been Hearing,
running through my brain,
we'll start another chapter,
together, unafraid

For I will love you all my days, 
Forever and a day. 

If I could live forever, forever and a day,
I'd stay  here in this moment, and never go away,
forget about tomorrow
 and let go of the past,
 suspended in this paradise
 so small but yet so vast           
 

I will love you all my days,  
Forever and a day.
I will love you all my days,   
Forever and a day.
 
 Repeat
