Ozymandias

A flash of lightning thru the back of his head 
Inspiration not a feeling a dread
 Let’s step back
No one wants to say 
War
All the rows of brothers dead on the shore 
Now if you’re willing

Now the feeling starts
The theater’s dark 
And the beam of light is making its mark 
it coulda been quite a movie

I noticed a field 
A million flowers 
Sun-drenched from above 
But here
There is no way out

Cut down
and waiting
His eyes found my eyes
Can we survive?
 we're falling down days

We’re driving in a car down the coast 
To see a day she loves the most 
Were on a sailboat 
The sun is floating over the sea
 I shot that boy he landed on me 
There's no prayers that bring him back

i tried to fight
but theres no power 
 left in this old glove 
ever here
inside a drop of rose water on your cheek...

..Cut down
and waiting
His eyes found my eyes
Can we survive?
maybe just maybe

You said ‘cynical me’?
 I say gullible you

Cut down
we're waiting
Can we survive?

Brown twice

Mira’s music to me is often full of reminiscence. When I heard these lovely piano samples I felt that I could express a similar feel with lyrics and additional instruments. I think many of us remember their days of joy and lighthearted energy. This is what this song is about… moments we cherish…  we once knew and shared with our loved ones.

I started with a set of Mira’s piano samples https://soundcloud.com/mirandashvangiradze and started building the track with drums and vocals. During the process of adding other instrument, the process of creating and mixing I updated Mira with ‘in between’ mixes. We contacted each other about some ideas and Mira spontaneously recorded her back vocals. It became a full collaboration and boy… do I like the result :))

Piano, backing vocals and initial mix of these by Mira
Lyrics, vocals, Fender Strat guitar, Fender Jazz bass, drum programming, Yamaha keyboard, arrangement, mix and production by me.

Lyrics of  "Remember":

I remember – the days of sunlight
At the garden table – the happy faces
Everyone had a tale
Fooled around, ate some drink some
Those are the days to remember

Everyone was there
Children playing
The dog running – in circles
I remember your face
With a smile
Preciously caught in time

Those were the days – my pride
I want to recall this time
The way we were back then
Easy and so cheerful

Those were the days – my anchor
All that I want remember
The way it used to be
Without a future worry

(remember, remember, remember)

Those were the days – my pride
I want to recall this time
The way we were back then
Easy and so cheerful

Those were the days – my anchor
All that I want remember
The way it used to be
Without a future worry

Those days are gone now
Lying in the tall grass
You took my hand and I
Knew that you’d understand

Nothing lasts forever
Despite what we endeavor
We ceased the days of blessing
All of what I’m caressing
