Listening to your work as I type, Allyson & Terry.
Track 1 - Etched: Love the percussion. Like the guitar as well, especially that riff that comes after the chorus.
Track 2 - Star: Great job on the vocals Terry.
Track 3 - Goodbye: I'm reminded of Blue Rodeo, which is not a bad thing at all. Vocals, music all solid.
Track 4 - Begin: A short, yet fun song. Would like to have the lyrics to this (and all) song(s).
Track 5 - Ceased: My favorite song on the album. Love the guitar.
Track 6 - Improv Smile: Great instrumental. The only two-word track on the album. Where you guys listening to a lot of Collective Soul when you recorded this? (Curious to see if anyone gets what I mean WITHOUT looking up CS's discography!)
Track 7 - Phone: I apologize for not remembering your 3rd contributor's name, but a great job on vocals on this track.
Track 8 - Moments: Finally! We get to hear the youngest Noseworthy sing! Nice job Allyson. Like the guitar at the end a lot too.
Track 9 - Time: I was expecting a cover of the 1973 Pink Floyd classic. Good song, and I like the piano playing a lot. Cool ending too. Maybe a nod to PF after all eh?
Track 10: Time (A Reprise): Another short track, but nice job on piano & vocals.
Overall a fantastic job guys. Well-played and well-written, especially considering the short amount of time you had to do it.

Thanks for the glowing review Geoff. I'm happy you enjoyed it. Here are the lyrics, as per your request:
ReplyDelete1. Etched
I remember possibility
I remember being so naive
but this world's not meant for co-operation
but whatever it is,
it's still etched inside of me.
I remember all I've been
I remember all I've achieved
There's something missing, a certain complication
whatever it is,
it's still etched inside of me.
I'm beginning to believe
My heart belongs here by the sea
I'll face the trials and tribulations
'Cause whatever it is,
it's still etched inside of me.
2. Star
In the murky depths an ocean of pearls
I'm seeking other shores in other worlds
Within this rusted chest, my secrets kept
The years have passed me by while demons slept
And I dream of light in a time of darkness
as I long for night in the pain of brightness
never satisfied...
I've lost my taste for endless waiting
the cost of resolution I'm contemplating
a test of faith. Will you be waiting?
When I'm discovered, my demons awaking.
as I dream of light in a time of darkness
as I long for night in the pain of brightness
so shine my star, cast your shadow down here upon me.
I'll find a way to take you home.
3. Goodbye
You're so tired, I see it in your eyes
Sleep now love, sing the night goodbye.
Please ignore these casual dreams
what's never meant to be is impossible to see
I've tried but lost the will to fly
Stars come out but shadows never lie
Moonlight pales the smile hiding lies
4. Begin
I'm the one who thinks they know it all when really
I'm the one who walks around like someone really
dumb because I'm acting like I'm 12 years old and
that's no fun for everyone involved so lets begin
Step 1, pick yourself out of the whole you've
dug yourself. Take a chance, don't be afraid,
erase your doubt. I'll only drag you down unless you
trust yourself. Take yourself to step 2 and begin
Step 2, find a way to fill those shoes. Just
walk a mile. The fork is laid in front of you.
It's time to choose. Don't be afraid you only need a
single step. Life will pass you by 'till you begin
5. Ceased
Here I am, silent but known.
Inside my prison of gold and stone.
Still I see a key in you.
Should I leave or see it through?
Never thought of bitterness
only the joy my thoughts to bring.
Still a cup filled only half
To wait for me, you'll never last
Can you see that you're ceased?
I've lost my heart. You've lost your mind.
I've lost control of me.
There you are, silent, unknown
looking for something to call your own.
But these old shoulders, doomed to die.
My angel wings will never fly high.
6. Improv Smile
-Instrumental
7. Phone
On the phone it's never enough
on the phone you're never near
how can this silence have so much to say
trapped by this space that grows everyday
I close my eyes and the great divide falls away like rain
The stars appear but they don't seem as clear and I wonder if yours are the same
Thoughts of mine wonder if we're growing cold
Thoughts of mine tell me it's getting old
take me away I'm tired of this race
fly you away to the same place
I close my eyes and the great divide falls away like rain
The stars appear but they don't seem as clear and I wonder if yours are the same
I hear your voice and I have no choice
but to remain so alone
I know it's true, just me and you
until I hang up the phone
8. Moments
Why'd you come here tonight, tonight.
There's a thousand places you could be, you should be
Memories give way. Why did we fight?
Why'd you come here tonight, tonight...
All through the years we suffered our fears
wasting the night
Moments that pass like sand turns to glass
breaking the light
I just had to see you tonight, tonight
I couldn't be lonely. It's not right, it's not right.
You left me there crying, trying, just dying.
I just had to see you tonight, tonight...
9. Time
You
mark the passing time
the clock ticks on the wall
have no reason nor rhyme
Choose
while shattered and confused
climbing up the walls
distracted and amused
Time can't give you back
the years that you've been missing
Don't look back
I don't think that you've been listening
Please watch your step
on this treacherous road
While you sleeped
the years went by so quickly
You
cornered by this mess
you back's against the wall
deaf ears heard your distress
