VISION 7

A song about seeing a beautiful girl dancing in a old 60s film of a music group playing in a studio and wondering what happened to her and if she found love.

*******  LYRICS ****
[Intro]
Strumming softly in the studio,
A song from days gone by,
In a flickering black and white video,
She caught my eye.

[Verse 1]
I saw a beautiful girl, dancing there,
In a crowded TV room, full of dreams and despair.
She twirled to the rhythm of a love song sweet,
A lost face  of the '60s, in her vintage dress,
The band played on, lost in their beat,
While the room spun around, she was no longer on her feet.

[Chorus]
Oh, the girl in black and white, where did you go?
Did happiness ever find you, or did the shadows grow?
In a moment frozen, you seemed so alone,
A haunting frame in a life unknown.

[Verse 2]
Did she find true love that night, in the gleam of the lights?
Or was she just a fan, lost in distant heights?
With hopes in her heart and dreams in her eyes,
Would the music sweep her away, or leave her in sighs?
I pondered her journey, her laughter and tears,
Did she dance through the seasons, or hide from her fears?

[Chorus]
Oh, the girl in black and white, where did you go?
Did happiness ever find you, or did the shadows grow?
In a moment frozen, you seemed so alone,
A haunting frame in a life unknown.

[Bridge]
If I had been there, would I have been that man?
The one who caught her eye, with a hopeful hand?
Could I have shared a dance, amidst fame and desire?
Or lost in the dream, would I fall to the fire?
We live in a world where time slips away,
But the feelings remain, in the lyrics we play.

[Verse 3]
I hope she found laughter and joy, day by day,
That the girl in the film had a bright, shining way.
No longer a silhouette in a frame of despair,
But a woman who conquered, with love in the air.
Though I never learned her name, I carry the spark,
Of a dancing queen lost in the song's sacred arc.

[Chorus]
Oh, the girl in black and white, where did you go?
Did happiness ever find you, or did the shadows grow?
In a moment frozen, you seemed so alone,
A haunting frame in a life unknown.

[Outro]
So here in the twilight, I play you my song,
For the girl of the past, where my thoughts now belong.
I wish you true joy, in each step that you take,
From a fan of a '60s pop band, for love's own sake.

Labyrinth of Illusions

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
