Song Information:
If you go to my jamroom here by clicking on my name and going to the "News" section (the link is http://www.macidol.com/jamroom/bands/367/news.php) you can read about the track details. I had them here, but it's just too much information.
To sum up: My son Gray sings (we often collaborate, so that's pretty true to form), and I play everything else except the drum loops courtesy of Drums on Demand, All recorded in Garageband. I wrote this song that has a number of levels, intentionally choppy shorthand verses that reflect on modern sociology. I think it grooves nicely. Just felt like rockin' out.
Song Lyrics:
Held in the moonlight
Suspended in belief
Kept like a secret
Taken by a thief
Held up as an ideal
Surrounded by questions
Capsized by doubt
Worthy of mention
Its the chains we choose
That make the wheels go round
Its the chains we choose
make the pistons pump up and down
Gripped by hunger
The tight fist of nature
Burdened by the world
In love and yet so unsure
Feeling for the light switch
The hollow eyes stare
Looking for the exit
And theres nothing there
Its the chains we choose
That make the wheels go round
Its the chains we choose
make the pistons pump up and down
Link by link
Right off the shelf
Straight out of the box
You can free yourself
By throwing the chains off
Its the chains we choose
That make the wheels go round
Its the chains we choose
make the pistons pump up and down
