about

Again the theme of the Lady in Red. The red dress reloaded. Fantasy and Reality. This track starts with a dirge type shaman singing...using my hand to cause a vibrato at the ending of the tone. I go back and forth between being in the dream vibrato and the clear lyrical sections. This track ends the very first volume of Hit Machine. It was added later..although we only played together for one year..we eventually added the keyboard. The next volumes will show our interest in Mythic themes and the personally of all the players meld into a great band of Shaman Grunge.

lyrics

(shaman chant)
Girl don't you love me
Girl in Red
Sometimes in the nighttime I feel all friendly
Sometimes the darkness spreads over my lot
(shaman chant)
Sometimes I see you but you're wearing a lion
Sometimes I feel you like a stranger
Sometimes I don't know who you are
Sometimes I love you, but I can't understand
(shaman chant)
Girl.....native soul
Sometimes a heavy load
But the moon is bright
And the stars shine
What can I say now..I just drink the wine.
(shaman chant)
Sometimes I see you and your wearing Black
That's when I understand that I'll take it all back
Girl...I know you can be Light.
(shaman chant)
Darkness brings friendly..like fire and water
Lovers come together and they have a good time
Oh..my love..won't you hold me now
Come back tomorrow and...
(shaman chant)
Be Light...oh Light.
