Hi everyone,

Hopefully you've had enough time to recover from our last surprise. :) We thought we'd take you on a coompletely different journey this time.

This is one that David wrote late last year. I think the lyrics are amongst his most poetic.


We hope you enjoy it.




Oceans Between

There’s oceans between
But I can’t forget you
I’m reliving the scene
The day that i met you
How it used to be
When we lived so closely
It all comes back to me
At least it does mostly
Or that’s how it seems
When there’s oceans between

You’re living the dream
Where nothing else matters
There’s a crack in the screen
Then everything shatters
Divided by time
Separated in space
Someone crossed the line
Now we’re in a new place
Where we’ve never been
And we’re oceans between

These days we all leave our homes
For something we’re chasing
Can we ever go back?
That’s the question we’re facing
I’ve laid it on down
That’s the story of my life
I set it out clear
And it cuts like a deep knife
Right to the seam
When there’s oceans between

They say it can’t happen
Sure we’ve both got our reasons
I’ve been keeping my head down
Escaping my treason
It’s further than distance
And stronger than tension
The path of resistance
In another dimension
To the farthest extreme
When there’s oceans between

I’ll see you someday
That’s one thing I’m sure of
But words we won’t say
We’re still guarding a pure love
They say the price of true love
Is measured in tears
How long have we wasted ?
Lord it must have been years
‘Til forever it seems
When there’s oceans between

Hi Michele and David

That was really a beautiful song. You two keep getting better and better over time. Your voice sounds really nice David. The soft gentle beat reminded me of sitting on the beach on a lazy day. You've really gotten to a professional level with your video production Michele. Loved it. :)

Beautiful job TZZ!

David, you have taken those song writing classes from IGC very seriously!!! Well done indeed.

Really likes the production on this song too. Michele, this has your fingerprints all over it. Not sure how much time you had to spend to finalize this production but you did a wonderful job with it.

Thanks for sharing you talent!

Good job you guys. I loved the cool tropical vibe going on here. I also really liked the pictures Michele, they kept the mood going throughout and the subtle use of ocean sounds.
I thought the guitar playing throughout was very beautiful and your vocal tone was perfect for this song David. Well done!

Thx so much Kev, Daryl, Craig, Bart, Zombieguest Sandy, Bill and Tom...it is a little while since our last original song and there is always a certain apprehension before posting....

I have to tell you that Shel has been on a serious 48 hour burn over the weekend to turn the basic tracks into a complete soundscape (ocean waves and all!!) and video, and i'm in awe of what she has put into this to turn it into the finished song.

we're closing in on our second 'album'...thx for your support and we hope to be back soon

cheers/ david
