https://youtu.be/dFO3PbR4mPwThis is a song I wrote, inspired by Stephen Kings's book The Dark Tower- Wizard and Glass.
It's a very brief way to tell the story, which is romantic but tragic at the same time.
I recorded it in my home studio, except drums (recorded in a proffesional studio and then mixed at home).
Ingrid is the singer, Alvaro is the drummer, and I play all other instruments.
I hope you like it.
The lyrics:
A story was told a long time ago when
Roland was fourteen and got his guns
And he’ll never forget the days of believing
That he would be safe from the wizard and glass
Susan was returning from her visit to the witch
She was forced to marry the old mayor of the town but she
Deserved to be free
Roland met her and they rode together on his horse
Trying to deny their feelings only led to get things worse
Starting a war.
At night in my nightmares I always remember
People from this town telling lies
And I’ll never forget the days of believing
That we would be safe from the wizard and glass
The mayor was found murdered, they threw Roland into jail
Susan came to free her love, the crystal ball discovered her
The witch could see them
People from the village planned to do a sacrifice
The offering for harvest would be Susan on a burning pyre
She wouldn’t survive
Come on now, come on now
Come on, save Susan, Roland (x4)
Wizard and glass (x2)
