Posting up an electric folk rock Zep meets Tull kind of a tune, graced by the sizable talents of Paul (lyric), Steve (vocals), Todd (Drums), Tim (added acoustic guitar) and lastly but by no means in the least, Billy (electric guitars/keys/mix/master).
Another song that took its time to come to fruition, but I think it turned out nicely.
Special thanks to Billy for providing a super mix apart from his usual brilliant contributions.
Amongst Roses and Thorns (Lyric: PVD/Andy, Music: Andy (c) 2014))
She lived high upon a mountain
Where streams of summer wine did glide
She spread arms out wide with a welcoming smile
A Venus trap laid deep inside
Her hair was grown wild like Medusa
Like a living creature that twists and turns
And in the end she told me we were fated not to be
Our love would burn out and turn to stone
Now I'm left staring at the sky
Wishing I again could fly
Drawn to a rose and pricked by a thorn
I rue the day she was born
Now I'm left chasing a mystery
An image fixed in my memory
Drawn to a rose and pricked by the thorns
I rue the day, the day she was born
Our days and nights brought deep delight each day was never the same
I remember every living detail
But I guess it was not enough to hold her fast to me
She was but a spirit roaming free
Repeat chorus
Solo
Outro with first verse

Wow! Loved it guys! :) Great performances by everyone. I especially liked the acoustic and electric guitar work, then the flute and other synth parts coming in near the end of the song.
I started to just listen on the laptop, but had to fire up the monitors for this one! Great song with an excellent mix!

Hey Stevie,
Sly horse indeed lol, (singing: I'm a sly horse running around a sly race course :))
The good thing about hogging all the parts is that by sheer law of averages I might do a thing or two right >:D
But, yes, we are lucky to have these talents at MCS, who enhance every song beyond belief!!
