Song Lyrics
In the Movie of YouTake 1… action!The light is just right, the shadows are inYour movement is sultry get closer, your love is for himThere’s glare upon your...
The light is just right, the shadows are in Your movement is sultry get closer, your love is for him There’s glare upon your pale face, just raise your chin The part is full surrender, let the story begin
Honesty… you give, receive, Always be you Let your eyes be windows, through the crowd crescendo In the moment let go Can you feel them watching you Just forget they’re watching you
You are what you are… you’re a celluloid star, If your fame takes you far, more than beauty you are
(interlude)
The clock is turning backward in the movie of you The scenes are growing awkward… is it possibly true You lost your self for fear of falling… from the stardom you knew They sold your sex, your face, your body… and you couldn’t refuse
Your name in lights won’t last forever But you lust to be news And when the audience cheered “how clever!” Then your fantasy grew
Ha hey… shouldn’t we kiss? Sa say… dramatics
Succumb to beg, steal or borrow Get your studio picture to play In a false life of fakeness to follow Where oblivion blows you away
Don’t cry… (cut... cut), Your eyes…call makeup!
Win praise for skill and ambition The remarkable faces you make Shoot thru your depression conditions Miss Fanatical please take the stage No… no… no!
I saw you change from dreamer to heartache - bad publicity blues The camera keeps rolling darling… in the movie of you
Vivling hear me now I don’t want to lose you to someone else somehow I don’t want to share you on the silver screen
Honesty… you give, receive Always be you Let your eyes be windows through the crowd crescendo In this moment let go
Can you feel me watching you Don’t forget I’m watching you

Amazing journey this piece takes the listener on. I love all the styles and moods this track goes through as it seamlessly morphs from scene to scene.

Awesome job, guys!! Another home run hit by TCP!! Love this song! Special effects, entire composition and production fantastic! When is CD #2 coming out?!

This is the real prog deal on every level - instrumentation, chords, vocals and effects (Mellotron?). If it only sounded like Pink Floyd one might be disappointed but there are so many other great influences bursting out - I for one am catapulted back to Oxford Town Hall damaging my hearing while worrying about my 'O' Levels. Great track. ftlpope

Great piano, keys, and sound bites entrance Blake! Fine story Henry and the lyric delivery just makes the story all the more compelling. The backing vocal melody and harmony just before the interlude is killer! Jack's tasteful skills on drums and guitar fits like gloves on all four of his hands. An excellent prog rock journey gentelmen!

To make any intelligent comments about particular sections of this song would take a book. This is a complex and emotionally satisfying epic with musicians at the very apex of talent. This song requires multiple listens just to begin to really "hear" it. Fantastic, lasting work.

TCP is a progressive band that met right here on Mixposure late in 2007. The spontaneous collaborations which first took place were not only rewarding, but quite unlikely without Mixposure as the key connection point for us. We consider it a success story.
Formed early in 2008, TCP began an effort to create compelling progressive rock drawing on all eras of this phenomenal brand of music. After realizing the right elements were in place, a creative chemistry began in the ensuing months that culminated in the completion of our first album, The Way , early in February 2009. This resulted in signing with 10T Records who released the album in May 2009.
Once out of musical hibernation over the summer of 2009, we began the follow-up album, Fantastic Dreamer , putting on the final touches in February, 2011 . Both albums are readily available at many popular online stores (e.g. Amazon, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble) and download sites (e.g. iTunes, Napster, eMusic) in many countries. Music reviews are here .
Henry narrated our Center Stage presentation on Mike K's show this November 13, 2010. It previewed some of the material on Fantastic Dreamer . If you didn't catch it, you can listen here to this segment of the show.
Thanks for listening!
One pleasure of putting songs on Mixpo is to see how people react to them. If you have any thoughts, please let us know on the song's page. We return the favor of musician comments by listening and commenting on your material.
TCP is...
