Hi Guys and Gals,
I've been off the forum for a while; needed a break but I couldn't stay away! I have a new post on Soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/alan-walker-4/silver-goldThanks to Boydie for mastering my finished mix - you're a star:-)
It's a song about how chasing wealth can lead to an empty, bitter life.
As ever, all comments and critiques gratefully received.
Sun is on the whiskered wheat
Roll your windows down
Breathe in the August heat
Turn your head around
The one that you loved
Has blown away
Dark ashes on the wind
Only you know what remains
You have your silver and gold
But you can't bring a life back
Running on the wrong track
With nothing to hold
There's a devil chasing you
Dry and hard like a whip crack
Bleached bones in a tin shack
Freight train howling through
When you were a child
Caught in the chromium shine
You looked at me and smiled
"One day all this will be mine"
And now you say
You've seen behind the mask
Sat in the dark all day
While the light slipped from your grasp
High on the hill
Grey markers mock & lean
Tilting to the pull
Of somewhere we've never been
One day you will see
A shining black parade
Seven horses and an old man
Seeking shelter from the shade
