 When White Turns Black (McAndrew)

Verse 1
Treachery has fallen to the pavement down below
And since been caressed by the hand of Icy Jack
From white with some forgiveness with at least a half a chance
Now the trap dressed head to toe in black
The town gets out it's bed from it's cocoon so warm and calm
To find the new surprises held today
First they must run the gauntlet, more likely on their knees
Against the frozen wall that's standing in their way

Chorus 1
When white turns black there's danger
Icy fingers take a much tighter stranglehold
On the corner strangers sing about a manger
As the carbon rises beating off the cold

Verse 2
The weather front approaches and provides a second helping
To the system that is struggling hard to cope
Lone driver loses line, first right then left
Now in the ditch and solo, sprout the early thoughts of hope
Did he leave anyone the facts of his location
Can this prison cell still be seen from the road
His problem not unique as it straddles all the nation
Was it really oh so urgent that he move his load

Chorus 2

Wow guys - another killer from COTT!!!

Nice ballsy rock - to me it sounds like an updated version of a track out of "DP In Rock", it must be the hammond swirls, the molten guitar runs and the powerful vocals .

This could be the set opener

Great stuff - ipodded!!

Andy

[r4m]

Thanks Andy! That means alot coming from the king of composition!!

[Mr. Mom]

Geez Andy!!
If this is gonna be the set opener... WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY GONNA DO FOR AN ENCORE!!

Great high-octane song guys.

[toadman]

Great! All round class.
How many rythym guit tracks, Bill? Monster sound.
Love that organ , too. Shades of Jon Lord.
Excellent performance.

Thanks guys!

Toad,
There are 2 rym gtr tracks. But the underlying secret to the fatness is B3, Synth ahd Clavs. It just fills it out sooooo nice!!
I think the Clavs are the most unnoticable. You have to really listen for them. But in some spots they are pretty evident.
And the guitar player gets the glory!!!!!
I guess I should mention it in the credits.  But then it looks like he did more than me!!! (I guess he did!)

As Steve said    Rockin tune. Killer solos. Would love to see you guys do this live. Maybe one day we can all have a get together?

Steve (Pleasurdome)

I wish you well, and pray God keeps you through all of life's hardships.
Hopefully we can get the train back on the track.
later bro...
