Song Lyrics
Going Down
Don’t mean to whine,
don’t mean to complain.
I’ve had my turns,
I’ve had some ways
I’ve gathered armies,
stood with friend and foe.
Spoken...
Going Down (DcDeal, PEBailey, DCoonrod, PTebar, Buddrumming)
Going Down
Don’t mean to whine,
don’t mean to complain.
I’ve had my turns,
I’ve had some ways
I’ve gathered armies,
stood with friend and foe.
Spoken words that justified
but mostly just confirmed
Does it really matter
in the time of setting sun?
Do the traces leave a mark
when one has come and gone?
Do we need to struggle?
Crusade to the very end?
Seems time to lay it down
To rest this tired head
I’m going down
Turning all of it down
Going down
It’s a little scary
to choose the path unknown
Trust forces felt not seen
to lead this spirit home
Can’t seem to feel certain
and watch them play the game.
Render to the hidden hand
and let the wind embrace.
Fought Holy battles
but most just full of holes.
Built houses in the sand
just like you warned, my Lord.
It’s hard to listen
when fear and greed abound.
It’s time to lay it down
to rest this tired head
I’m going down …
Turning all of it down
Does it really matter
in the time of setting sun?
Do the traces leave a mark
when one has come and gone?
Do we need to struggle?
Crusade to the very end?
Seems time to lay it down,
to rest this tired head.
I’m going down
Turning all of it down
Turning down
Going down

David and everyone, I listen to this and it brings memories of listening to Bad Company for the first time, I can hear so many influences that you all brought to this song. And I loved it when I first heard it on Gene's show. This song has a Chicago/New Orleans blues feel, but different if you know what I'm trying to say. Love it my friends.

One of the many tunes here that is so outstanding; it makes a choice so difficult for me. But this one will be up on Tuesday's Showcase of Independent Artists for sure. Cudos on an inspirational and thoughtful tune.
Namaste ...

This was just a superb tune!

Always nice to hear the successful collabs happening. This mellow piece is a bit deceiving as Pete's excellent voice is the primary focus. But there's plenty of instrumental bits that interact as well. I enjoyed David's intertwining bass line and Mr. Deal's keyboards. Phil's guitars are solid. Found myself wanting to hear some of the orchestral bits just a little louder. Fine lyrics indeed! Kudos gentlemen! ...B

Oh guys this is so good it's beyond words to describe it. You have all found and played the perfect parts to make this a mega Mixposure song. The thoughtful lyric, melody, vocal delivery, instrumentation, and mix is as pro as it gets. I'm truly impressed (maybe it's just envy) but you've got a real winner here fellas!

I live in Ohio where I am a practicing Psychologist http://davidcdealphd.com/ . My favorite instruments are an array of keyboards, however I also enjoy playing acoustic guitar. I currently perform in a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band named Siberian Solstice. www.siberiansolstice.com ,
I have released two CD’s, “Harmonic Space” and “Transformations.” “Harmonic Space” is a clinically based CD that aids people in coping with anxiety and sleep disorders. “Transformations” is a concept album that is both a spiritual autobiography and, hopefully, a spiritual vessel. The songs from Transformations have deep, emotional, and spiritual intent. I continue to write, record, produce, and collab and have also posted many of these songs.
My musical styles are said to range from those of progressive rock bands such as YES and Pink Floyd to Broadway musicals such as those of Andrew Lloyd Weber. I often add a little bit of Jazz and Classical flavoring. I have recently been mixing my acoustic guitar roots with more progressive elements.
A Word from David:
I have been blessed with many artistic and musical friends who have offered their talents to my recordings. Some of the musicians who played on the posted songs include Les Brooke, Tom Hannah, Tim Vargo, Andrew Vargo, Cynthia Lugo, Andrea Bok, David Coonrod, Ned Clark, Kevin Peters, Kristin Sorensen, William O’Connell, Ked Deiter, Mack Sanders, Rob Hanlon, Richard Gonzales, Bob Ross, Pat Ross, Michael Duryee, Nigel Potter, Joseph Rodriguez, P.E.Bailey, Carol Sue Kirkpatrick, Bill Smith, Buddrumming, Rasmuth, Jolee, Terry Wigmore and John Else, I want to extend special thanks to Arthur Kills Straight Putnam who wrote and recorded all of the native flute parts which follow each song in “Transformations”.
Finally, I want to say a special thanks to David Coonrod. He plays incredible bass on many of the posted songs and has been an awesome collaborator and friend. At this point I would hardly be willing to release any musical arrangement without passing it by his ears for suggestions etc. A talented, selfless friend and a musical compadre.
Transformation Cover Message:
"Sometimes, in the midst of a perfectly ordinary day, one is unexpectedly flooded by the magnificence of “what is.” Perhaps that moment of awareness and clarity arrives while watching a storm or absorbing a piece of art or kneeling with intention in a church. If blessed, echoes of the past and visions of the future fade from existence as the unknowing silence of the infinite present emerges. With patience and grace, one comes to know the incredible richness of “what is” as a revelation of God’s face, and the mind is forever transformed into a mirror of creation." . . . .
Love this song just as much today as I did years ago!

Love and hugs to each and everyone of you superb artists who made this song so special!
