Glen Esk

Background

The one thing about living in the country becomes obvious at night.
This is part of a larger collection of works that identify who we are in the Brisbane Valley

Listen in..

It is in dire need of a real singer. If this one doesn't convince you to come forward nothing will.

STARLIGHT WANDERING
Music & Lyrics ©2010 Michael Anthony

  
from Castor to Capella
we'll trace a line like nights before
pass by Zeta and its Beta
will return as glad explorers

jewels strewn on black velvet 
the views will never tire
whiles Brisbanes lights
stay away for now
it leaves us to admire
--
from Rigel to Canopus
think of all the things i could see
and my favourite wheres the plaediaes?  
oh i could live there easily

jewels littering black velvet 
the views we call our own
night time skies are what we prize
you wouldn't know until you're shown
--
CHORUS:
if i visit ed each oneofyou
would it take ten lifetimes?
from my own backyard i travel to
inky secret void sublime

like to gaze and wonder justhowlong
time would pass while i'm away
all my distant favourite galaxies
seem so close from where i lay
--
from Crucius looking eastwards
see Centauri hang mid air
stay at Lupus choose the next move
we could journey anywhere

jewels glittering velvet black
the views we call our own
night time skies are our own to prize
hope they never leave alone
--
CHORUS:
like to gaze and wonder justhowlong
time would pass while i'm away
all my distant favourite galaxies
seem so close from where i lay

Imaginary Starlight wanderings
lose me on those paths each time
secret backyard nighttime travelling
inky corners so sublime

Whats next to do here . .

VOCALS re-record with a better singer, yes ,even before attempting harmonies

PIANO counterpoint as opposed to following too closely

MELLOTRON not sure, make the Bb-Am-Bb-Am parts a bit stronger

SYNTHESIZER make it less thick perhaps

PORTAMENTO MOOG ( end instrumental ) I might replace it with with acoustic guitar

SPACY ( super high whistle whine ) a little more at the chorus, but varied from before

BASS needs complete revisiting, with the drums

DRUMS Needs complete revision, drags too much at the end
