Song Lyrics
The Kite
(V1) Flying a kite… on grassy greens
Fond memories…. of childhood dreams
There were no worries…. or cares to be found
Except if the kite…. came...
Song Information
Gentle Giant......hmmmmmm??? Remember them?? Always one of my favorite. The bass player, Ray Schulman, always played really neat riffs and I always wanted...
. I put together a bunch of bass and drum riffs, with some off time stuff and threw together a basic arrangement and went to Doc and Farrell and asked for help, to come up with a GG type song. They both liked what they heard, but Farrell grabbed the song and ran with it. He put together all of the backing guitars and vocals and did some minor re-arranging. He sent me a sample of what he had done.....and I was...WHOAED OVER!!!! I LOVED IT!! The Mood, The Feel, The Storyline.....ALL fit perfectly to me. We then gave it to DOC and the PROG gods shown over him gloriously, IMHO. He NEVER seizes to amaze me, the way he adapts to all styles of music. We then went to Gary C, to put his final Lead Guitar touch on it......and THAT, he did.....and just as DOC does, Gary too, can change with the wind and fit to whatever is put in front of him. I LOVE working with these guys. THANKS...FARRELL, DOC and GARY for making another one of my dreams come true.....a GG type song

Man this is great. I have got all kinds of visions running through my head. like YES. Excellent production. Great Job.
Wonderfully light and fun start with such a flowing feel and pace. Super perfomances by all. Very playful bass part, Rob-O! And Gary, Doc C and Ferrell layer just the right touches on top to really make this thing soar! I dislike making artistic comparisons, but I do get the most beautiful feeling of early Banks era Yes, and even just a touch of mid 60's psychodelia, not that it's dated sounding, just to innocent and free. Nice organ solo by Doc C too (as usual!!!) Think I'll haul out my ol' bat kite and give it a little string, while I give this song another spin too! Thanks for the art, guys!!!

Hey Guys, Gentle Giant? Now I always did like that group. Remember that song about Roadies and dogs.
Anyhow, very solid tribute to them. That bass line is especially good. I enjoyed the vocals also.

Love this start...whirling my head around and sideways...a really cool sound collage...great synth artistry, fine guitar work. It has the feel of a jig or reel, the rhtyhm is cool. Fine singing, right up front & well complimented with a fave organ sound. Quite the group here; fine chemistry, love those harmonies & such fine interchange of soaring sizzling seering guitars, a very fine arranging, with a solid backbeat of cool bass & really fine percussion. Great guitar sounds...this really moves guys. Love the wah addition...quite the build up & simple a TOP NOTCH PRODUCTION.
SUPERB!!**** pick one. Great! -Into my faves. -Vesa.
Really quite an awesome and a real upper of a song. Solid performances by everyone here..no surprise at all. Well, well written. Rob it's wonderful to hear you back on bass..I miss that man. Always great lines and playing. One of my fave parts was Gary and Doc trading leads, with Rob basically bass arping underneath. Superb writing, and Farrell belting it out. I agree with WHP, there definitely is a Yes feel going on. LOVED IT. A winner for sure. ..Blake

Larry T.....
Man what a tune!!! Whenever you guys come up with a new one, I know right away I won't be disappointed! Doctor, I've always admired your incredible skills on the keys ... like rubber fingers flying up and down the scale producing a fantastic soundscape. Gary, as always guitar work is awesome, and so is Rob's bass ... truly an asset to each of your songs. And Farrell - man - what a performance. I so love your voice here, you sound so convincing and sure of yourself. Almost got a Jeff Lynne quality to it!!! Yes, I can definitely hear ELO here ...
Abosultely outstanding folks!! Big fan here!
