Excellent song. Beautiful voice and perfect realization. Very nice work.

I really appreciate the subtle layers of percolating melody and rhythm. A touching poem too. This could almost be a lost Gentle Giant song.

Fabulous music and voice, lovely song, melodies and harmonies!

V1:

 I let my thoughts wander
 Off into a different place
 Then I tried to redi-rect
 And think what might be ne-xt
 Mindful how the threads begin to fr-ay

 Ch1:

 But I'll find my safe harbour
 Called Utopia ('youtopia')
Gain my Shangri-La 

 V2:

 Sins and sorrows
 I aim to cast them all aside
 Won't bring me down
 Painting bl-ack
 My tomorrows
 As the dawn comes aro-und

 Ch2:

 Hit the free trail
 Blaze away
 Kick back and set sail

 Ch3:

 Find a true haven
 A roaming space
 Stay safe in the shade

 Bridge:

 Chasing nirvana in the middle of nowhere
 Mystical frequencies vibrating in the air
 Drifting through the great divide
 How I'm feeling energized:
 I'm so attracted there

 V3:

 Witness the seasons
 (All) change without our interven-tion
 Keep me guessing
 As I wander thro-ugh
 Every new dimen-sion

 Ch4:

 I'm transforming
 No storm warning
 Go exploring

 V4:

 And I don't seek a better grip
 On this now slipping situation
 Though it's getting out of hand
 For even if I could
 I would not unroll the dice
 Unplay the cards:
 I need a brave new start

Wander
