Wheew - this has been quite a process as a whole. But thanks to you talents it is finally here in the finished works (or why not finnished).. Special thanks to Henry aka Doc Midnite for the electric guitars and vocals. You da best :)

It started as a little semi-progressive ballad and ended to this weird 10 minute compilation of many many ideas.. I mixed it by myself and .. well, I tried by best anyway :) Hoping you like it too.

Era: Bass and Virtual instruments
Todd: demo drums
Ville: final drums

LYRICS:

Little Owl (Johnny)

(vs)
Once I heard a little owl
Singing right outside my door
Finest of the feathered fowl
Beneath the moon's bright orb

Folks say owls are wise
and I know this to be true
She had great all-seeing eyes
my heart tells me they're blue

(lift)
Songs about humanity, the beauty and insanity
Seeds of love and hate, our need to dominate
What is life? What's fantasy? This is our reality
We share a common fate...We share a common fate

(ch)
O mighty little Owl
Can you hear the dogs of doom
I can see their yellow eyes
Hiding in the gloom

O mighty little Owl
all this ignorance and fear
Rats & mice are running foul
Little Owl we need you here

(vs)
Once i heard a little Owl
Singing right outside my door
everything made sense, somehow
Beneath the moon's bright orb

And my mind was opened up
To all the possibilities
the door was finally shut
Upon my old reality

(lift)
i ran to find my brother, tell my father & my mother
the wisdom of the Owl, they laughed at me and scowled
My mother cried, "The Devil". My father said, "It's evil
"It's not up for debate"!
We share no common fate...

(ch)
O mighty little Owl
Can you hear the dogs of doom
I can see their yellow eyes
Hiding in the gloom

O mighty little Owl
all this ignorance and fear
Rats & mice are running foul
Little Owl we need you here

(outre)
i was standing by the door
she was high up in the boughs
beneath the moon's bright orb
i heard a grey wolf howl

and my little Owl took wing
thru the shadows of the night
but i can still hear her sing
an' my spirit feels so light...

(lift)
Songs about humanity, the beauty and insanity
Seeds of love and hate, our need to dominate
What is life? What's fantasy? This is our reality
We share a common fate...We share a common fate

Hehehe - i dunno what happened.. The song started to live itself and the liitle owl wanted to fly :)

Johnny, did you notice the last sound of the song?? It is dedicated for YOU, lol.

I am going to make a video. All I need is 10 minutes of footage, lets say a few hundred photos.. Hmmm?

The Mousetown could be a separate song too, that is true Johnny.. But it is another project..

We have all the time we need, until it has been consumed - so guys, keep on rockin' happily wherever you are.. And thanks again :)

epic is definitely the word.
nice job gang.
rock-n-roll ain't pretty --- that's why they picked us to play it.
