I was inspired by turning the clock back and the transition that represents. And it’s about time! (for inspiration that is).

Many thanks to CDK for generously sharing his talents — great foundation for this track. And much gratitude to Haskel who lights up my musical world with his fine guitar stylin’s.

This is strictly a headphone mix (short in the monitor cords… ) As always, helpful production tips are welcome. (I really battled with settings and levels on this one.)

Pella uploaded separately (at least it will be once I’m done bouncing the stems).

DEEPER NIGHTS DEEPER DREAMS

Spring ahead but don’t leave me behind
as I fall back, it seems to be time
reset clocks and reframe thoughts
discern what may be right or may be fraught with concern and burdened with care
mixed disappointment and mixed with pride
a season of change as day’s light becomes thin
and the reach of night lengthens again.

Is it a song?
Is it a dream?
Is it an intricate harmony?
It’s waiting. It’s wanting.
The phantom of longing.
It’s the love between you and me.

Summer left us dry and used
left the earth hard and broken
Still late season perennials bloom prove new growth always harkens
promise of relationship promise of love
promise to challenge what is true
turning back to what’s unspoken
the love between me and you

So turn the clock, turn the tide
as arms of eons extend through night
cradling what you aspire
finger snap starting desire’s fire
daylight shortens illumination’s reach
deeper nights bring deeper dreams.
