Nice guitar, nice voice, nice song, bravo!

Interesting/unusual vocal processing, kinda mystic (though making it hard to understand ...)

Original song and picture created, composed, and produced by Among The Vanity.

"Do Geese See God?" is a synth based ambient track with a driving beat.  Various audio nuggets and effects provide just enough variety to engage listeners while the beat will keep heads bobbing throughout.

Rico Gillette [05.19.25]

Raymond James was his name given at birth,but everybody called him Ray.
He lived nearby to me when I was growing up. Never had a lot to say.
Ray’s old man came home from the war in 45. Met a girl named Gwen, began to date her.
They were married soon & bought a little house. Ray came along just one year later.
All the kids in the neighborhood would meet at Ray’s. There was a vacant lot next door.
We played games until it got too dark to see. The next day we’d come back for more.
Ray never strayed too far from that old neighborhood except for those 2 years he was in ‘Nam.
Everyone that knew him knew that he was good. You’d be hard pressed to find a better man.

When Ray came home from ‘Nam he settled in to stay. Went on a date with Mona Dunn.
First love is the best, they say, and that was true for Ray. The first, the last, the only one.
Ray and Mona built a house next door to mom & dad. His dad gave him that piece of land.
They worked well together built that house with their own hands, with just a little help from Uncle Sam
Mona died from cancer, it was nineteen eighty one. Both his parents died in eighty-three.
Ray stayed on in that old house, he said, “I’ll never run, this is my house, makes sense to me.
Ray never strayed too far from that old neighborhood except for those 2 years he was in ‘Nam.
Everyone that knew him knew that he was good. You’d be hard pressed to find a better man.

Found out yesterday that Ray had passed away last month. We all are struggling with our grief.
There’s been a pall on the whole damned neighborhood. No one knows what to believe.
You know they didn’t have a service when he died, like they did for his wife, Mona.
None of us could have attended anyway. Thanks, again, Corona.
And so tonight we’re gonna celebrate the way we can. Hide’n Seek in the neighborhood.
The kids will all be playing – even moms and dads.Here’s to you, Ray, you were good.



You Were Good

Verse 1
The texture of your hair
The softness of your skin
The color of your eyes
Where do I begin?
Can’t compare

Verse 2
The sweetness of your smile
The joy that’s in your laugh
The beauty of your face
Is too much by half
Can’t compare

Chorus
I used to be lost but now I’m found
I used to be square, but now I’m round
I used to be bad, but now I’m good
If you asked me to dance, I surely would

The kindness in your touch
The fire in your kiss
The way you make me feel
Is more than this world gives
Can’t compare

Final Chorus
I used to be lost but now I’m found
I used to be quiet, but now I’m sound
I used to be blind, but now I see
The love in your heart has rescued me
