Song References: 
....not sure. 

Song notes: 
this is song is about transcend the dark spaces of love, sex, desire and finding there is no transcending these push/pulls of love, sex but still accepting it...trusting

This Recording: 
cut at rehearsal for a house concert 
score for quartet, but no 2nd violin for this recording
must capture the 'feeling' of this song

Production Notes: 
just guitar, Rosh/Female VOX, strings.... light piano 
should record this one building around Rosh/guitar 
make the strings the BIG experience 

Lyrics / Song Structure
We made it through the night 
lead by a string of light 
our troubles they fall away

it's all in our minds, it's all in our minds 
the sex and the love that we all hope to find 
it's got it's hook in me, I feel it again 
pulling, i can't explain how this longing to love gets so confusing 

You wake up you know your alive 
You sleep and you just can describe how no one can follow you there

it's all in our minds, it's all in our minds 
the sex and the love that we both hoped to find 
it's got it's hook in me, the pill it is round
i'll swallow it down, hoping i can remain 
but this false love, no I can't sustain 

Ooooohhhh Ahhhh ooohh Awee
Now I, I can't decide, where I went wrong
Oh but now I've played the fool 
once again, I've gone and hidden
behind the walls I defend 
oh but now I've played the fool once again 

played the fool once again, will it ever end 

*note: just for these lyrics we do a call and respond
(me)I wake up to love in your eyes 
(you) I wake up to love in your eyes
(me)My arms around you holding so tight 
(you) Your arms around me holding so tight
(together) my troubles they fall away

it's all in my mind, it's all in my mind 
the sex and the love leave those illusions behind 
it's got it's hooks in me, I feel it again 
it's pulling, still I can't explain 
I'll use this love, to transcend the pain

Transcend - ( The Rehearsal Sessions ) w/ string arrangement by Phil Norman

Artist: Rosh & the Blind Cafe Orchestra 
Song: Sun's Just Right 
String Arrangement: Phil Norman 
Alternative Version(s): none  

Notes: these are some of my recent and active songs being performed/written, that have also gotten the most positive response from audience members @ Blind Cafe's and House Concerts. 

 lyrics & notes of the songs pointing out any area i see worth looking closer at in terms of melody, emotional quality and/or production otherwise for example.....Eric Moon Piano, Female VOX & Phil/Strings accompaniment.

Song Structure: if this song feels circular...it's written that way on purpose 
- Intro: 0:00 - 0:50
- Verse: 0:50 - 1:12 
- Chorus: 1:12 - 1:36 
- Interlude: 1:36 - 1:50 
- Verse: 1:50 - 2:08
- Chorus: 2:08 - 2:31 
- Instrumental Strings: 2:31 - 2:50 *progression should go 3 times around as is currently written 
- Coda: 2:50 + *this part not completely written, needs attention 


Song Production Notes: 
- Phil's 'chuck' 'chuck' rhythmic style on cello in verses, most notable in this track in the Second Verse at 1:50 
- Intro, interludes & instrumental string parts are meant to be 'show casing phil norman's brilliance' i.e. the landscape is their for melodic experience
- coda? ...have some ideas and chord progression but confused on how to end it
- intro: melody line is intended 3 part harmony, between Rosh, Female VOX & Cello 


Musicians in Recording: 
- Rosh: Guitar/VOX
- Strings: Quartet including Phil without Viola ( should have viola ) 
- Allegra: female VOX 



Meaning/Subject of Song: 
- this song is about the creative process of writing music...how we need to keep that in between 'thinking' &  'no-thought'....much like catching a wave surfing. the lyric..."melody, it starts off with a hum, somewhere distant like a drum, but I cannot locate, till my mind calms down a while and the suns just right in style..." 

Lyrics:

Verse 1
shame, it builds up over time 
there's no reason or rhythm 
but you cannot let it slide, a passive phrase to phrase
write it all down anyway  

Chorus 1
Cause there's no, there's no 
Nah..... nah nah nah
there's no time to analyze 
the thoughts stuck in your head 
write em out instead
let them lead the way

Verse 2
melody, it starts off with a hum
somewhere distant like a drum 
but i can not locate 
till my mind calms down a while 
and the suns just right in style 

Chorus 2 
Cause there's no, there's no 
Nah..... nah nah nah
there's no time to analyze 
oh...the songs stuck in your head 
sing em out instead
let them lead the way
