Song Lyrics
Shifting sandsThere was a fire todayIt was oceans awayI heard their loved ones cryThere was a man with a frownHe blew up a townWould someone tell me whyThe...
There was a fire today It was oceans away I heard their loved ones cry
There was a man with a frown He blew up a town Would someone tell me why
The events unfold on my TV All around the world there is tragedy Please don’t tell me that it’s meant to be
Our lives move like the shifting sands Taken like gold from the devil’s hand Wasted how can this be right How can this be right So many fade into the night
Some friends drove a car But they went one mile too far were barely half my age
A man betrayed by a friend Brought their life to an end Could not control his rage
The time we spend just running around Not standing out in any crowd When suddenly there’s no more time to break free
Our lives move like the shifting sands Taken like gold from the devil’s hand Wasted how can this be right How can this be right
Please don’t tell me that it’s meant to be
Our lives move like the shifting sands Taken like gold from the devil’s hand Wasted how can this be right So many fade into the night Fade into the night How can this be right?

Hi Lee, such an interesting and lovely song, and good production. I love the fine reverb on your vocals. A little Al Stewart influence - just my opinion -, and great guitar performance.
Cheers, Pascal
Well...yeah the news is always bad on TV...but they only rarely report the good news.
Nice light tune...about a heavy subject. Look on the bright side...if you turned off the TV...this song might not have been written. I like the lyrics...even though I believe that it's how we respond to life that matters. Cool song.

I have a basic recording setup that consists of a PC and a few guitars. When I write, I listen to a lot of ideas looking for something to inspire me and then I try to develop the idea into a song by incorporating as many unique ideas as I can. Where possible, I like to include layers of guitar tracks, some very subtle, with the aim of blending them into one sound. I don’t consciously stick to any particular style when I write songs although they invariably end up sounding like a mixture of the artists that I’m influenced by. I started playing guitar in various bands about 20 years ago. A number of those years were spent continuously gigging and unsuccessfully trying to attract the attention of some record companies. After a break from music, I bought a PC and some recording equipment and immediately found a passion for writing and recording songs. You can listen to some of the results on this page.</p></div></div>
