Topic: Eyes To The Sky

This is the latest from us, inspired by something Russ said; "keep your nose to heaven and your ass to the devil"....well I had to change it a little. It's a bit rocky, and should be on our My-Space now

EYE TO THE SKYUndefined


(Intro.)




Dreaming of you all my life, and the promise of love – forever.


Love is forever, and it will never.


Shatter your heart and your dreams.






The [A] last five weeks have been the [Bm] worst five weeks.


I've ever [F#m] lived in my life – [G] lived in my life.


[D] No lonely road I ever [A] walked in my life, has been as [Bm] lonely as this road.


I've [G] walked down with you.


[A] No empty room I ever [Bm] sat in before, has been as [F#m] bare as this room.


[G] Cold as this room.


[D] And if I ever make it [A] out of this gloom, I'm gonna [Bm] leave it all behind.


[G] Eyes to the [A] sky.


(CHORUS)




[D] Eye to the sky, [G-D] back to the wall.


[Em-Bm] The things you say dont mean [A-G-A]nothing at all.


[D] I've heard it all, [G-D] believed your lies.


[Em-Bm] Back to the wall and my [A] eyes to the [D] sky.




(BRIDGE)



[A] Oh how you cry when you dont – [D] get what you want. [Em] Get what you [D] want.


[A] And how you laugh when I fall – [D] over and down. [Em] Over and [A] down.




SOLO OVER CHORUS X2




[A] They say that [Bm] heaven awaits for the [F#m] good and the brave.


The [G] knight and the slave.


[D] And if I [A] give-up my life, [Bm]what waits for this slave.


A [G] trip to the [A] grave?




(CHORUS)


(REPEAT BRIDGE > REPEAT CHORUS)






(Outro)




Dreaming of you all my life, and the promise of love-forever


Love is forever, and it will never


Shatter your heart and your dreams....

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Excellent Sirs !

I would bet your best  collaboration yet. Great stuff. I was a wee bit confused when Phill started to sing as the lyrics  i was reading didnt tally with his lol Then i realized he started with a chorus.  { senior moment ]

So very well done.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Thank you my lady smile  yes Phill is a tricky chap lol we always have a good time working on songs we never know who will come up with another idea it all seems to flow from that I think the hardest part is mixing we both work on it till were happy with it smile

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Excellent job guys!  When is the concert?  I feel like dancing now... whoo hoo!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Thank you Amy I would love a concert but theres a little matter of 2000+ miles between rehearsals but you never know glad you enjoyed smile

"Growing old is not for sissies"

Re: Eyes To The Sky

i'll go to that concert too! there have to be enough chordie members to fill a medium sized venue?

helena, oops! sorry about the chorus opening...senior moments all round, keeps us all on our toes?

so, we've done some ballads, we've done a rocker...any suggestions where we go next?

ps. doesnt russ sound angelic?....yeah right! cool

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Dudes!!!!! big_smile

You guys are really doing some hot recording. I had a sneak listen at work through the cheesy work speakers and had to get home to hear this with the headphones...Much Gooder.

Russ, real nice work on the intro/outro harmonizing. Loved the guitar work  to-o-o-o smile

Phill, you know what I'm gonna say...Great vocals....don't know why I dig your vox but I do smile I'm guessing your the keyboard/rhythm guitar player/drums?
Hey...if there's a Chordie party don't forget about moi.

As for what to do next...the canvas is yours. smile

Kudos

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Hi Phill and Russell,
You did a good job on this song.  I've been playing it and I really like the music.  I'v never used F#m so that's a good chord for me to practice.

You did say please.  You don't look 68!  Are you a cop?

It's good to see you guys again.
Take care,
jodyW

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Hi Jody,

Thanks for the review, glad you liked what we've done. We'd done several ballads and I needed a bit of rock'n'roll to save my sanity. I must say though, when I first bought a guitar, way back in the mists of time, I got a guitar tutor book, I think it was called "Chord or guitar in a day" so I decided to learn a new key every day (just the chords). I actually found G to be the hardest chord to play! But once I got into barre chords it all fell into place. So keep on keeping on.

I have never been a member of the constabulary and I dont think Russ has either, I am 58 and as you know Russ is a little older, maybe that's why he's better at the guitar than me?

Phill

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Jody my hair was darker (just for men) in that photo but now its a salt and pepper I will have to update my photos and yes I am 68. no I am not a member of any law enforcement agency the "sheriff" label was given to me in jest not sure what I will put next thanks for the kind words smile

Re: Eyes To The Sky

Ya know, I finally listen to this and I gotta say I really liked it. It's written very well structurally. I really like the way you changed it up from Russ singing in the intro to Phill's parts through out, then ending on Russ again. Just goes to show you don't have to write a song starting with a verse. And I really like the lyrics.
