The Big High Dive

I pushed myself to sit down and write this one, as I haven't had time to write much this year. Just sit down and write while I had time over Thanksgiving. I try to write one for the new year each year. It's still pretty unfinished. I haven't come up with any reserved solo's yet.

Big High Dive 11-20-11

Treat everything in your mind you perceive as a dream
Get out of the way of your self and your everything
Train in the ways of love, be awake and be free
from the hole in the empty ravine where your river has been

Don't worry now that you feel all afraid and confused
You've just been obsessed with some things you told yourself to do
You were born in possession of a mirror with an instant view
and a notion of a something that is really a nothing to loose

Come to the place where your face don't hide anymore
Dive off the big high dive
Come to the place you used to belong

You imagine whether we are always ever making totally too much fuss 'bout a diamond, or a son, or a very little fairies dust.
Put it down like you mean it and you know it better be good
Let it stand in the land of the emptiness that it should

Come to the place where your face don't hide anymore
Dive off the big high dive
Come to the place you used to belong

Come to the place where your face don't hide anymore
Dive off the big high dive
Come to the place you used to belong

I was confused for about a nanosecond because I'm used to your "radio" voice, but whatever you did with the vox, works. This is sweet!

Thanks. I started out with the old John Lennon "Doubling", but ended up with three vocals set in the stereo field L50%, Middle, R50%. It's really hard to double your voice but an old dependable trick if you can pull it off. There were a few interesting "mistakes" that I ended up emulating throughout. All in all it was a fun vocal exercise.
