Hi,
Still putting the finishing touches to my Alien Genre song so I thought I'd post one we did about 2 months ago. As a partnership, me and my lyricist Neil, have a constant tension between my liking for more rocky faster songs and his preference for slightly slower more mellow numbers.
So Flame of the West is not my favourite, although I am quite proud of it, but it is his.
It is about a relationship he had that almost made it across the line but fell just short. Fair to say, it still had a significant impact on him so well worthy of a song.
There's also a video for this one at
Verse 1
I got thoughts of emptiness, Eating away inside of me
And I can’t hide this loneliness, Swimming against the tide
Like the scarecrow whistling in the breeze
Like the falling of, Crisp autumn leaves
Verse 2
Feel the echos of the past, memories won’t release
Hear the noise in the silence, see the haze of sky
Like the hinges creaking on a gate
Like the stillness of the dawn awake
Chorus
There’s no quick solution
Thereks no easy answer
There’s no quick solution
No fairy-tale ending
This life is just a stage, in a far far bigger game
It’s the taking part for me, For me is all in vain
Like a preacher, spread the divine
Like a seeker of the suicide,
Chorus
There’s no quick solution - No overnight success
No easy answer - No obvious best
There’s no quick solution - No overnight success
No fairy-tale ending
There’s no quick solution - No overnight success
No easy answer - No obvious best
There’s no quick solution - No overnight success
No fairy-tale ending
No flame of the west!
