Song information
I was going to begin waiting a week between posting songs because there are just too many being posted to keep up with, but I got a request for this one... here ya go GR... love ya man... The 1st for me was C.S. Lewis, In Surprised By Joy, to articulate an indescribable experience that would visit me every so often as a child…this is my most successful attempt to capture it in a song… my version of Rainbow Connection.. I played all instruments and vocals except for drums, my son Ian played drums on this

Lyrics
WHEN CHILDHOOD BROUGHT NIGHTMARES, & I DARE NOT SLEEP
I WOULD LIE STILL ...AWAKE. 
AND ANGELS OF COMFORT, COME STAND BY MY BED 
AND GUARD EVERY BREATH I TAKE
WELL I SAW THIS THRU YOUNG EYES, AND MEMORY FADES
THIS ALL COULD BE SOME MISTAKE.

CAN I GET BACK WHAT I NEVER HAD
HAVE I BEEN MISPLACED DO I BELONG THERE INSTEAD
SOMETIMES I CATCH GLIMPSES... THEN I FEEL SAD
SOMETIMES I CATCH GLIMPSES... THEN I DON’T FEEL SO BAD

OFF IN THE DISTANCE, I THOUGHT I HEARD VOICES 
SOMEBODY CALLED MY NAME.
TO TELL ME OF NEW LANDS, A TIME WITHOUT END
A LIGHT FROM ETERNAL FLAME
WAS THIS SOME KIND OFF TRICK, I TURNED AROUND QUICKLY
EVERYTHING LOOKED THE SAME.

CAN I GET BACK WHAT I NEVER HAD
HAVE I BEEN MISPLACED DO I BELONG THERE INSTEAD
SOMETIMES I CATCH GLIMPSES... THEN I FEEL SAD
SOMETIMES I CATCH GLIMPSES... THEN I DON’T FEEL SO BAD

FOR A MOMENT I AM SWEPT AWAY
I’M NOT SURE WHERE, BUT I NEVER STAY
ONLY GLIMPSES OF SOMEWHERE....SOMEDAY
ONLY GLIMPSES OF SOMEWHERE.....SOMEDAY
ONLY GLIMPSES OF SOMEWHERE.....SOMEDAY

WHERE HAVE I BEEN...WHERE WILL I GO 
WILL I SEE HIM .... WHEN WILL I KNOW

YOU COULDN’T SEE ME BUT I WAS THERE
YOU COULDN'T HEAR ME BUT I SPOKE CLEARLY
YOU COULDN’T SEE ME BUT I WAS THERE
YOU COULDN'T HEAR ME BUT I SPOKE CLEARLY 
OFF IN THE DISTANCE, I THOUGHT I HEARD VOICES 
SOMEBODY CALLED MY NAME.

Very special! Lovely attractive melody, and excellent lyrics! Also musicianship is excellent! Congrats, Scott!

How I'd love to have a son who played drums!!!!! As I expected Scott, this is a very well put together song - structurally complex enough to make it special, and with beautiful playing and vocals. Lyrics certainly work very well for me. A touch of JT. Love the fact that you haven't overpumped the mastering. Clean as a whistle. Cheers from Oz! Classy tune, and very enjoyable.

very well done. it IS inspirational. i really like the "pre responses" in the part that starts with WHERE HAVE I BEEN...WHERE WILL I GO - it seems to reinforce the message somehow, i don't know how.... thank you!
