The refrain really captures 'that' moment, question or statement. Beautifully sung, guitar, keys, it's all very tasteful.

Beautiful relaxing piece, takes you to another world 

Back for another listen... Oddrun... infact all 3 of us have been listening to each other's music since before Soundcloud Classic collapsed.... that is years ago now. :)

Love the lazy, sultry mood of this one, lovely voice and players...

In 2018 Dave (warfydave) Cooper sent me recording he had made, inviting me to contribute lyrics, vocals and steel guitar.   Immediately on hearing the recording, the words to Lewis Carroll's “The Lobster Quadrille” (sometimes called “The Mock Turtle's Song) started running through my head.
	We recorded the track and Dave posted it on his SC website (https://soundcloud.com/warfydave).   The song is still there at https://soundcloud.com/warfydave/lobster-quadrille-mix-4.
	The track I have posted here uses all the original stems except for the steel guitar (which I felt obliged to redo).   It has been re-mixed and re-mastered.
	There are many versions of this song on SC, the only ones I strongly remember are by Bruce Klepper (at https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/the-mock-turtles-songfeat-mark-ewart), and Steely Dan (at https://soundcloud.com/steely-dan-official/the-mock-turtle-song), but I am sure they are all worth a good listen.

	The Lobster Quadrille appears in “Alice in Wonderland”.   It is sung by the Mock Turtle while he and the Gryphon attempt to demonstrate the dance to Alice.   John Tenniel's famous illustration (the cover art I have used) pictures both the Mock Turle and the Gryphon.

Lyrics

I’ve got a surprise for you  
Like Miles you’ve been feeling ‘kinda blue’
Missin’ Valentine’s was hateful 
Now we’re here in April
But I’ve got a surprise for you

First thought about getting a tat-too
An arrow through the heart, that’s cut in two
Or something from your wish list
We don’t have to wait till Christmas
I’ve got a surprise for you
 
I’ve got a surprise for you
So what if we’re financial-la-ly screwed
No compromises
When it comes to surprises 
I’ve got a surprise for you   

I’ve got a surprise for you
I’ve got a surprise for you
Open up your eye-ziz
I know you like surprise-ziz
I’ve got a surprise for YOoooooooouuuuuuu xxx

I've Got A Surprise For You!

I 've Got A Surprise For You! (feat: joerxworx)

I've had the pleasure of recording songs with Aleck and Oddrun.
I sent this song to Aleck and Oddrun for their wonderful interpretation.
Thank you both for this great rendition.

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now?
When I need you
Alone on an airplane
Falling asleep against the windowpane
My blood will thicken
I need to wash myself again
To hide all the dirt and pain
'Cause I'd be scared
That there's nothing underneath
And who are my real friends
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking
This slow
My baby's got the bends
Oh, no
We don't have any real friends
No, no, no
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
And I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you?
They brought in the C.I.A
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away
To blow me sky-high
Baby's got the bends
We don't have any real friends
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would-
I want to live, breathe
I want to be part of the human race
I want to live, breathe
I want to be part of the human race, race, race?
Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird, where are you now?
When I need you

FAMOUS

So you want to be the life of the party 
And you wanna be peace to mankind 
Really want to be father and mother

So you want to know the meaning of life 
Want to be - the ripple and wave 
Really want to know yourself completely

Ooh

So you want to start your own revolution 
And you want to be king of the ball
You really want to be an emotional person

Do you really want to hold feelings to ransom 
Do you want to be cruel to be kind 
Do you really want to lose good intentions

So you really want everyone to like you 
And you want everyone to see 
Do you really want to be this famous

So you really want everyone to like you 
And you want everyone to see 
Do you really want to be this famous

Ooh

So you really want everyone to like you 
And you want everyone to see 
Do you really want to be this famous

Do you really want to be this famous 
Do you really want to be this famous 
Do you really want to be famous

Do you really want to be this famous

Lyrics and music: Achazia

Got some question about the modulation on the voice. I use DAW: Reason. There you have a pitch corrector called Neptune. So I have used the synth to adjust the vocals/adding this weird processed harmonies.  There is a small button in the corrector called voice synth. There is a guide here: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFAOuYJaWY

(I will fine adjust the song. keep listening to it and there is some small things I wanna change on vocals/drums. Shouldnt affect the overall sound/song. )
Back in the time, when we were young.
Growing up was easy, with friends around.
You told me a secret from a challenging past.
Your mum was a lost cause, whoever she was.

We kept running, through the haze
Don't go , don't go any further. keep at my pace.

You got a head-start.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
That kept us apart.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
As much as I want you to stay, I didn't want to be in your way.

You got a head-start.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
That kept us apart.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
As much as I want you to calm down, I didnt want to leave you alone

Searching for answers, I know it's a shame.
Memories are fading , what it's left is your name.
Twentyfive years old you left long time ago
I didn't know your struggles from here and beyond

We kept running, through the haze
Don't go, don't go any further. keep at my pace.

You got a head-start.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
That kept us apart.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
As much as I want you to stay, I didn't want to be in your way.

You got a head-start.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
That kept us apart.
Du-ru-du-ru-Yeah
As much as I want you to calm down, I didnt want to leave you alone

well you thought it would change
but it stayed the same
yeah, it just remained the same
when you left the ground and you touched the sky
well it all remained, the same
the beauty is right in the moment
ridin' high or rollin' low
just listen, yeah you listen
well you thought it would change
