Thanks for the listen and post :D
Come keyboard warriors with RSI
Rest by the fire; feel rhythm of the tribe Good suggestion. I'll think on it a bit.
grates a bit on first read through, but hearing it makes it work a bit better. Right now I like the syncopation that syllables lays out with "carpal tunnel syndrome .... tribal rhythm "....I don't really mind how it reads.....music trumps written word :wink:
Nice production as usual ;) Thanks. :D I think the combination of sound sources helped.

If you start using a DAW check out loopmasters.com
They have a lot of free loops.
It's where these loops came from. I had gotten them on a sale they were running.

Lot of fun to listen to!

My only questions are very minor - Since the whole song is an appeal, I'm wondering if the "I" in the fourth line might be dropped and the word "and" used instead:

Awake from your sleep
And dream of the high country

And the line "mountain terrains turn satin," while it reads well doesn't come across clearly in the singing. It may just be this take on the singing, but it seems like this might be a case where the alliteration is actually hindering getting the line across.

Just out of curiosity, how much of the backing track was "live" and how much "borrowed?"

Looking forward to more.

Come away with me
To a place concrete-free
Awake from your sleep
And dream of the high country

Climb climb so high see what really matters
Watch a thousand suns sizzle, laugh and splatter
Breathe in atmosphere beyond delicious
Touching stratospheres of paintbrush wishes

Come keyboard warriors with carpel tunnel syndrome
Rest by the fire; hear the tribal rhythm
Wash away the cares of the corporate life
Bathe in streams of denim by candlelight

Touch the cusp of the rings round Saturn
Phoenix in flight unique in its pattern
Spread out a blanket of stars around you
Awaken the dreamer that you once knew

Welcome we've missed you

You're home now
You're home now

Running barefoot through fields of jasmine
Mountain terrains turn satin

Come away with me
