I sent my buddy Rick from channel bios36 a demo of this song and he offered to help me put together a more complete mix. I have to admit that I am very pleased with how it came out. Rick plays all the instruments and does quite a bit of the backing vocals. He also used his magic hand at mixing everything as well. When you add in that his wife, Alice, made the video, I definitely got away with the easy job! Please check out Rick and Alice's channel, in addition to being a remarkable contributor to others' art, he is a superb composer as well. http://www.youtube.com/user/bios36 If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to share a private link to the original demo. Comparing the two makes Rick's influence all the more remarkable. The lyrics to "Past the Memory" tell a story of nostalgia and, while there is a bit of creative license, are largely autobiographical. Thanks for your support and for listening/commenting/rating. If you are feeling generous, I'd greatly appreciate sharing this vid because I feel it is one of our best and most relatable pieces. Lyrics ---------------------------------------------------------------- There's a river back home Where we used to go Summer days you couldn't keep us kids away Now indoors they roam The old dirt path Petrified bike tracks No one seems to ride there anymore Guess they have other plans Oh, I want to go Where the days move slow And the dark won't follow you at night Past the memory on the right In the woods we lay And kissed away the day Seems there's no time anymore To lay away the day Now I struggle in vain To recall the names Of neighbors I never see What a shame Oh, I want to go Where the days move slow And the dark won't follow you at night Past the memory on the right Where the waters flow And the green grass grows Where children still step outside Past the memory on, the memory on the right There's a river back home. --------------------------------------------- Wow, my first official youtube honors. #51 - Most Discussed (Today)) - Music #81 - Top Rated (Today)) - Music Of course, I've been honored for some time now that so many talented artists appreciate my music. ;-)
