New song demo -- a mellow, bloosey, doobie song!

TwilightOdyssey

Darkness on the edge of Tone
This one is a bit different from our usual fare -- it's very '70s groovy/mellow in that Trapeze/old Rush/old Judas Priest dirty sort-of-way.

THE ROAD
Oh, my body is so weary
My heart is wearier still
But there'll be no rest tonight
Many lonely hours til I drink my fill

The miles are dry and dusty
My burdens heavy on my back
And the cruel whisper of the wind
Mocks me for what I lack

Tell me, Mister, do you know the way?
I could have sworn that I found it just yesterday
But is slipped like water right through my hands
And vanished in an instant
In the bleak and thirsty sands

I cannot see the path before my feet
Oh, the way is cloudy and unkind
And the sun is sinking slowly
And the darkness is upon my mind

I tell myself I can find my way home
But can a wanderer make their way on will alone?
When relief is all but a memory and the wasteland lies ahead
Can defiance bid the foot to rise again?

I cannot see the path before my feet
And the way is cloudy and unkind
And the sun is sinking slowly
And the darkness is upon my mind

So far
off course no North star
Is gonna steer me where I need to be
So lost
You know I'll never count the true cost
I'm dead broke
Baby, oh can't you see?
Oh, whoa dark wings
Bringing all those dark things
All those nasty little things
You never ever wanna see
All wrong
I'll never sing a different song
You see there's no mercy on this road for me

Very cool indeed!!! Love the sparseness, followed by the big chords. :)

Very cool...singer sounds like the ladies from Sirens Of Titan & Blood Ceremony.

man. this is awesome.

I love songs about the road, touring, the bittersweet life of the musician. What else do you do when you've got hundreds of kilometers between gigs? Grab that axe, and jam out some lazy tunes to kill time. Simple, gutsy, and raw. And this captures just that kinda vibe.

Great stuff!

Awesome tune - really liked the mix, nice and gritty. Guitar playing was awesome and the vocalist has a killer voice
