This is my own interpretation/cover of a great song by Swedish 'Prog Master', Roine Stolt. I've had to slightly change the middle (instrumental) section due to the original's amazing complexity. Afterall, I'm not Roine Stolt!...
major snagg
Story behind the song
The middle section is all my own invention...hopefully an interesting alternative direction from Roine's original.
I used...an Eastwood Astro-Cadet (Bill Nelson signature model),
a Rickenbacker 4003 bass, a Yamaha PSR-275 keyboard and a Zoom RT-123 drum machine. Recorded as usual onto Adobe Audition (1.5)...still my DAW of choice.
Hope you enjoy the tune.
Lyrics
The Flower King by Roine Stolt
Falling out of the sky, falling into a dream.
All I need is the heart where it all can begin
It's just a matter of time, it's just a matter of trust
It's just a matter of faith when we all sleep in the dust.
Don't deny, just verify the genius of it all
It's the cycle of all living thing, hear the children
Hear the children call!
"We believe in the light, we believe in love every precious little thing
We believe you can still surrender you can serve the Flower King"
Going out into the grey, into purple and red
See, all the beautiful shapes flowing out of my head
It's just a matter of time, it's just a matter of trust
It's just a matter of faith when we all sleep in the dust.
Don't deny, just verify the genius of it all
It's the cycle of all living, hear the children
Hear the children call!
"We believe in the light, we believe in love every precious little thing
We believe you can still surrender you can serve the Flower King"
"We believe in the heart, we believe in healing in a house where angels sing
We'll unite the divided and the fallen one will serve the Flower King"
"We believe in the heart, we believe in healing in a house where angels sing
We'll unite the divided and fallen one will serve the Flower King
