Song Lyrics
Lorena1. It's been a long timeSince we’ve stood stillIn a never ending playLost is the thrillNow it’s time to pauseAnd restart the dance2. It’s bound to...
1. It's been a long time Since we’ve stood still In a never ending play Lost is the thrill Now it’s time to pause And restart the dance
2. It’s bound to change There’s countless signs And the clock is winding down We’re out of time It’s way too late To turn back the page
Chr I call your name (Lorena) Carried on the wind (Lorena) To the shores of Spain (Lorena) Dance with me once more …….
3. I see the darkness Deep in your eyes I feel my heart turn cold There’s no surprise As our love unwinds We still move in rhythm….
Chr I call your name (Lorena) Carried on the wind (Lorena) To the shores of Spain (Lorena) Dance with me once more…….Lorena

The song is listed as progressive rock but it's a blend of several styles so I guess prog rock is the right place! I love working with the powerful music that is generated from this collab group. DrC, Gary, and Rob are all great musicians that bring excellence to the musical table. In this group's work setting the word collaboration means just that. Although the initial song or idea may be presented by one individual (DrC in this case) the group has input on all aspects to bring the song to it's final stage. I believe that cohesiveness is heard in the music. That's also why this final version is take #14, LOL!
The lyric is about a passionate love that is unwinding. Each realize the inevitable ending but still they long for that one last dance.
I hope you enjoy Lorena!

This is a exciting tune, I love the chorus and the synths arragement and the pound drums, it has a lot of passion, Lorena..what a lucky gal..

Easily one of the best recordings I've heard at Mixposure. It makes me wonder why I'm wasting my time making music? I hate each and every one of you: I hate Dr. C, I hate Rob, I hate Gary, and I hate Farrell. Thanks to this song, I am officially full of grape flavored Hater-ade! (nice work fellas)

Great tune, the counterpoint of the synths fill in the gaps nicely and the guitar solo was quite tasty. The rhythm tracks on the bridge are wicked tight and completely complimentary to the solo. Can't wait to here more.

Wow. Great song. Awesome performances. The arrangement is very tight and interesting; loved the changes. Musicianship is top-notch all the way around. Engineering work is excellent as well.

Hey guys, I think this is my favorite of all your songs so far! The vocals sit perfectly in the arrangement. Fine harmonies Farrell! Cool instrumental in the middle. I think the more you guys play, the tighter you are getting. You are heading somewhere really good!!

In other words,intelligent music with melody.
You guys are class.
Never anything less than class,because firstly you are all individualy VERY talent musicians and secondly youc are about every song's birth.

Woooow "LOOOOOOOOOOVE THE VOCALS"
Great Song
Green flashes and green rays are rare optical phenomenon that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible for a short period of time above the sun, or a green ray shoots up from the sunset point. It is usually observed from a low altitude where there is an unobstructed view of the horizon, such as on the ocean. Jules Verne wrote a book about it in 1882, called Le Rayon Vert (The Green Ray).
We all have similar yet varying musical styles and tastes that are inspired by classical, classic rock, and progressive rock greats of the past. We've found, when combined, our ideas create some interesting musical themes. We hope you find our songs entertaining and interesting also!
Rayon Vert members are:
Gary Carciello - Finland - guitars plus
Influences: Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Rush, Toto, Deep Purple, Eric Johnson, and Frank Marino
Quote: Finally I started to use PC in recording.Things go pretty smoothly now...learning curve was pretty hard....basically I am still a blues based rock player who wants to try new found dimensions of making music.
Rob Grant - USA - bass guitar plus
Influences: Beatles, Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Pendragon, Jazz-Rock Fusion, Jeff Beck, Paul McCartney, Chris Squire, Gentle Giant.
Quote: I am primarily a bass player but love fooling around with all instruments. I was never a songwriter nor a vocalist in the band days. Thanks to technology that's changed. I can build songs and get my ideas across just the way I want them to be and.....all to the best of my personal ability.
DrC - All kinds of Keyboards, production plus
Influences: Classical music, 70's classic rock, and folk music.
Quote: I like the idea of blending different styles, musical techniques and approaches together. Even though I have been fiercely criticized for my "experiments", I do not consider my tracks experimental in any way. I simply believe that the great Bach could sound very well in hard rock, and that music from the Caucasus Mountains and Mississippi delta could merge to form an exciting track.
Farrell Jackson - acoustic guitar, vocals, harmonica, plus
Influences: The Beatles, The Stones, Traffic/ Dave Mason, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, The Allman Bros., and CSNY.
Quote: I love great sounding acoustic guitars, mixed with tasteful electrics, a Hammond B3, melodic vocals, and vibrant harmonies. In my eyes and ears, this recipe makes for some cool great rockin' music!
