Track 2 from our new Return to Normal album, "Blinking in the Brackens". Music by Return to Normal (Marty and Corinne Lucas); final mix and master by Jon Huxtable (smallfishrecordings).
Sand that drifts golden,
to a sun that was stolen
by a girl who left footprints
in between lullabies,
to a glade underneath
a platinumoon.
There's not enough room
for the thumpy-thump heartbeat,
so I left the lover inside.
All my parades,
all our little charades,
a secret betrayed
by a trip of your tongue.
On some astral plain
I heard your voice calling,
in a mysterious tune
to a thumpy-thump heartbeat.
In coincident timing
a distant bell was chiming,
a crystal cathedral
appeared in my mind.
We slipped through
the tall grass, abandoned
all time and mass.
Just the thumpy-thump heartbeat
play the phrase and then repeat.
just the thumpy-thump heartbeat,
play the phrase and then repeat.
Just the heartbeat....

@The Sandman's Orchestra: Thanks so much Pierre, we both appreciate your support and kind words. And I do feel this one got closer to what I imagined in my head. A Happy New Year to you too, my only predictions are (a) it's going to be a little weird (just based on how it's started out), and (b) I'm going to be listening to the Sandman's Orchestra album.

a lovely, soothing track from a great record (I got my signed CD a couple of days ago). You two must be proud of what you've achieved, I hope this album will be a success ! Happy new year and best wishes !

@Pall of a Past World: it is a bit of a stew Bryan, I started out to write a bossa nova, but it sort of took over and went its own way.

A nice stew of different musical styles. A satisfying musical meal!

@FlipandFly: this is really interesting, I'll confess right off the top that I love Steely Dan, and have listened to all their records countless times -- my favorite is "Katy Lied" -- but I wouldn't have guessed this would conjure that image to listeners, still, there's this for sure, I love jazz chord changes, and this has got 'em...thanks for listening and commenting!

@Rónán Kearney: thanks Rónán! Corinne listened to Minnie Ripperton's (mostly forgotten) classic "Come to My Garden" as inspiration -- worked for me!
