This definitely meets your stated intent and is a great job with some tricky lyrics here and there.

Good stuff

This take on it does the job well.

It is interesting the difference it makes hearing the tune.
I very often am lukewarm to a set of lyrics then when I hear the melody I love it.
With the lyrics here I thought they were too abstract - but when I listened to the MP3 . . .
Loved it :D

i'm probably sounding quite foolish but i'm head over heels.
I've always wished I could write like straycat that's sweet (and this sounds like something i'd love to write in many places.. like the "hyde" place) but you are a great writer on your own :D
and what's more.. you can write music :D admiring you for that..

"a lost language".. :D

oh, and i like your revision of my chorus.

so.. pearthekat.. slowplay..i'd say this is one successful collaboration :D
(any chance i might get a mp3 of this?)

cheers,

I've always wished I could write like straycat, so I figured if I started with a chorus that she wrote, I would already be 50% of the way there. I think I might be at 51% right now. I modified the chorus a little bit to make it fit the melody in my head.

In The Twinkling of Black Lights
Title: pearlthekat
Chorus lyrics: straycat
Music and verse lyrics: Robert Gowland

Can a lost language speak
With clarity?
Can lost pennies steal
Your prosperity?

It's a dead choir that you're admiring
Holes in the fabric no one will notice
Lost as we are, these are the songs
Glow in the dark, these are the songs

Deep in your mind
Memories of Hyde
Flash your vision
Out in the light
Long for retreat
Beneath your skin

It's a dead choir that you're admiring
Holes in the fabric no one will notice
Lost as we are, these are the songs
Glow in the dark, these are the songs

Blind spots will cast
Head turning lure
Solve the mystery
Far down the road
Shimmer in sight
Feel unworthy

It's a dead choir that you're admiring
Holes in the fabric no one will notice
Lost as we are, these are the songs
Glow in the dark, these are the songs
