about

This is my best guitar work. Any parts without vocals I was going for it. Three guitar tracks: one barre chords with a little distortion, one lead with big muff, one rhythm clean doing whatever. Some fun moments with bass, too. And it's a cute little song, too. Some irony is that I loved Blue Oyster Cult and their three guitars and the cowbell (pre SNL) and was going for it myself. Like if it could be 'happy complex' instead of 'dark complex.' Happy songs aren't really my calling. So yeah didn't really achieve BOC vibe per intention.

I was in a band when I wrote this song, and the drummer didn't want to play it because she said it was "grooveless." So we didn't play it. But I have always liked this song. And I play drums on this recording, of course.

lyrics

Can I step in your sunshine, baby, can I stay for a while?
I saw you in my dream last night and I woke up with a smile
You don't know how long I've been wanting you, watching you from behind
Where exactly do you come from? You really blow my mind

I try to touch you, but you're so unreachable, and I thought I could find
Some kind of connection from my heart to yours, but now is not the time
So keep on rocking; I'll keep on dreaming that our paths will cross again
And until your world meets mine my darlin my song will never end

Another night after another tomorrow, only time will give it away
Yesterday's broken hearts are better now, much better off today
So give me rhyme or reason, show me, keep me up all night
We're gonna live so long, baby everything's gone, I got your image still shining bright

This site is 4 track demos. Hi, I'm Cecily, and this is my project, the 4 Track Phantoms, a kind of diary of a free range singer, songwriter, musician.
I write songs and record them playing all of the instruments myself on my 4 track cassette portable studio. And reflect on the songwriting process, subject matter, and recording process.
