Fly High

Blue

Continuing with my revival project.
This is a new recording of a very old song of mine written back in my university days.   I studied engineering but I never practiced and eventually became a supply chain guy in the I.T. industry.   I hesitated in sharing this one because when I listen to it now so many years later, it really doesn't mean much. It was all aroused by the inferior complex of being in a second stream college.

Just hope you would still like the song.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
There was once an erratic city					
	Inside was a few dominant factories				
With the principles of jigs & fixtures					
	Making components to build up the picture				
					
There's a product A and there's a product B					
	In fact there is not much difference in quality				
Brand A produced a smaller quantity					
	By logic it’s of a higher degree				
					
"Brand A is much more expensive					
	(but) their reputation sure fits me well"				
That's what the customers said					
	Never mind the technical detail…………				
					
Oh well, here they go				
	Inject materials and do the show			
Choose the speed, apply the feed,				
	Leave to the machines to complete			
				
Which way does the wind blow				
	Don't ever ask us, we don't know			
Fourier Series, Surface Integral,				
	Daily routines, off we go………….			
				
Here we are, back in the mixture				
	of lousy jigs & inaccurate fixtures			
As long as we can build up the picture				
	Who will care about the surface texture ?

This one started off nearly a year ago, when the Eclectic Collective was just coagulating, and is the first one to feature Tez, Ken, JJ, and me on a song. JJ came up with it, drawing from his deep well of creativity, on the electric piano and bass, and shared it with the rest of the us. Starting with Ken, who added a phenomenal drum track to work with. I then added my guitar in a way that tried to emulate Miles Davis, albeit just an impression. Then we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did ably as ever, and we released it early last spring. 
  However, Tez, being the always tinkering producer that he is, decided to dust it off and give it a new bass line to match the ferocity of Ken's drums. He then remixed it and added some production effects, making the song it was meant to be. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

My Thanks to Nat who approached me about wanting to do a cover of my song Single Silent Tear. Nat and Durge have a chemistry 5 years in the making, so I was up for that of course. Totally surprised me with this duet version of my song. Allowing them to play off each other as they so often do. Thanks to a young pedal player they used Joel Harkin for his amazing Pedal Steel contribution. He's a terrific artist, and well worth approaching for help when your song needs that perfect touch.

Lyrics:

Silent…tears are falling  
Raining teardrops… that call your name  
Darlin’… you stopped listening  
And I can’t reach you… or see you again  
And as the teardrops start to fall,  
Each one a hammer on the floor 
I hope that someday you will hear
 A single silent tear

Days turn nights.. So all alone  
What kind of fool would turn and go?  
And I keep staring at the phone  
(Darling I'm sitting here at home...)
Wishing you’d call and say hello  
(Oh babe I miss you so..)
But as the teardrops start to fall, 
Their silence broken on the floor  
I hope that someday you will hear  
A single… silent tear

Oh Maybe you’ll forgive me  
Somehow not forget me…  Baby please…
(Can you forgive me too.. Oh baby)
And Oh Maybe you’ll remember
The way we felt together
And come back to me..
… come back to me..
(come back to me...)

Oh Silent…tears are falling  
Wishing you and I could start again  
But Baby… time has taken over  
(My sweet baby)(My sweet Angel)
And I know we’ll never be the same
(Baby please don't say it's so..)
 'Cause As the teardrops start to fall, 
Their silence broken on the floor
 I hope that someday you will hear  
A single silent tear 
Oh I hope that someday you will hear  …
A single… silent tear

Baby please.. can you hear each tear call your name..
(Baby please... oh baby i can hear each tear)
Baby please.. This is the one day I will hear..
A single silent tear..

LYRIC
Brought together
in bad weather
Our homes a world away
Hours flew by
We both knew why 
We had no right to stay

You waved as I departed
Let’s finish what we started
Finish what we started

I kept the memory
Deep within me
While life took me elsewhere
It started burning
The thought of returning
To when I saw you there

It’s a course I’d never charted
But let’s finish what we started
Finish what we started tonight

Strolling through the passers by
Keep an eye out  for an eye
One that sees the things you see
I saw you
Did you see me?

If this finds you
And reminds you
Of the promise we let die
Just tell me where
And I’ll be there
We have the right to try

And not live broken hearted
Let’s finish what we started
Finish what we started

It won’t be too late
But we can’t wait
And longer than we have
If yours felt what my heart did
Let’s finish what we started
