Starseed - Michael Woodford 2009
Verse 1
Woke up this morning, Felt the urge to do something
Heard the call of a beckoning voice
Tried to find a reason, For my inner transformaton
Then I knew I had to make a choice
Carry on this life, Based on fear and deep suspicion
Work all day for monetry gain
Or awaken to the fact, That I've got a real mission
Helping souls like you escape the pain
Chorus
I'm a Starseed
Come here to help you find your way
I'm a Starseed
Come here to guide you
Come here to show you the way
Riff 1
Verse 2
Reached out and touched your hand, Looked deep into your eyes
Saw confusion etched across your face
Told stories of our past, Why we're here, what we're doing
Why we've got to save this troubled race
Suddenly you realised, Why you felt so strange here
Why you couldn't understand this world
Everything is clear now, Life has got new meaning
Time to wake up, go and spread the word
Chorus
You're a Starseed
Come here to help me find my way
You're a Starseed
Come here to guide me
Come here to show me the way
Riff 2
Bridge
Lies and raw deception, Spin our lives with anger and fear
Time to re-awaken, Time to spread the message
Time for loving in the clear
Verse 3
Greed, inflated egos, Wealth and lust for power
Things that we see everyday
They have no real meaning, For our souls, our real being
Each of us must change our way
Our simple message to you, Is forget these worthless items
Reject all those feelings of fear
Embrace the warmth of love, Find yourself, and each other
While ascending to the pure and clear
Chorus
We are Starseeds
Come here to help you find your way
We are Starseeds
Come here to guide you
Come here to show you the way
Outro
I'm a Starseed
Come here to help you find your way
I'm a Starseed
Come here to show you the way
You're a Starseed
Come here to help me find my way
You're a Starseed
Come here to show me the way
We are Starseeds
Come here to help you find your way
We are Starseeds
Come here to show you the way

Well done Mike, another one wrapped up!!
It was treat to be part of this team, super performances by everyone!
Really like the rich vocal sound of this track, and the super mix by Argle.
The lyrics are super - its nice the way the lyric changes to "I", "you" and "we" for the choruses.
Cheers
Andy
PS - Mike/Argle - if you could post a wav or ape version up as well.

Great to have you on board again Andy... Argle did a fantastic mix, even without all the material he would have liked and a lot of credit has to go him for the great sound he's produced.
Love those pulsating bass lines you laid down down for this... many thanks Andy

Thanks Dave!! Yes, definitely old school, about 30 years old school to be exact. The backing vox is actually Jay (HDA). Great job by everyone and a special mention for the excellent production by Argle.

Alright, time to say thank you to all the people and tunes that entertained me and helped me get through last week's work week.
This one reminded me of about ten million songs I loved back in high-school. Shades of Triumph, Rush and tons of others. Everything except the lyrics was also an almost exact copy of an absolutely horrible tune I wrote and recorded back then called "60's Man", so I also considered sicing a member of the legal profession on you all.
Pure fun, quirky lyrics, and a nice trip down memory lane.

well..this track is a resurrected original song from my band, Warhorse ... it's years old.... so unless you were part of that band... I fail to see how it can be an exact copy of something you did... :) of course, the main chords are G D and C, so it's quite possible it sounds like a million other songs ;D ;D...
Mike

G..C...D....hmm....gonna get my songbook !

G..C...D....hmm....gonna get my songbook !
;D ;D we might have to sue the Beatles 8)

I'm gonna copyright those chords
-
G..C...D....hmm....gonna get my songbook !
No, no, no...not so fast! You're leaving out all those very distinctive sus4 s on the C & D that I put in the exact same place, with the same rhythm and same attacks. It simply CAN'T be coincidental!
;D ;D we might have to sue the Beatles 8)
I almost did that once too. A section of Band On The Run (not the lyrics) was an almost exact copy of S*ithead....the first song my first band ever wrote. Man, were we mad. Couldn't figure out where he got a copy of it either since it was pretty rare (a single copy on an overwritten Supertramp casette).
:)

Peter.. are you seriously suggesting I've copied this song from you? :-\ ::) ??? ... and that Paul McCartney copied a section of Band on the Run from you?
By the way, you've misquoted both myself and CD
-
Of course not! Just joking around.
I really like this tune, and should have probably just said that (as well as complimenting Tricia on her vocal) instead of all the other stuff. It sounds a little bit like something I did ages ago, so there's a bit of very pleasant deja-vu in it for me whenever this pops up in my iPod.
Cheers!
PS. Still not sure about Paul though. Copying b*stard!
-
funny.. but on my part in the intro, I sound kind of like a Foreigner. I can't explain why, it just Feels Like The First Time this has happpened to me.
mmmm curious...
