Another tune done before the year end :).
Smithie started the ball rolling by setting Bob's reflective lyric to a spacey arrangement with a great vocal.
Then Henry (who plays a super reverb/echo drenched solo) and I added to the arrangement to bring it to the form as it stands now.
Next, SteveC dropped in with a drums track which suited the song perfectly.
Finally, Henry wrapped it up with a fine mix/master.
LOOKING GLASS: (Lyric: Bob Wood, Arrangement: SmithC/AndyG/Henry Mittnacht)
bpm=98
Intro
Preverse1
Verse1
I can't believe it
How can this be ?
the world I once knew
is only fantasy ...
Can someone tell me
if it's real?
I need to know
how the others feel
Verse2
I can't deny it
could be deranged
the life that I once had -
no longer pre-ordained
will someone show me
if they can ?
try not to lie -
I'm a simple man
Chorus:
Behold the looking glass
strangers behind the scenes
watching as I pass
don't tell me I'm insane
I've heard it all before
And saw something more
So many shattered mirrors blocking every door...
Preverse 1st solo
Verse3:
can't understand this -
what is it I see ?
a world of flashing colors
glowing in front of me
Can someone tell me who they are ? -
Are they from another star ?
Missing time...lost memories
nightmares are the hidden key
Chorus:
Behold the looking glass
strangers behind the scenes
watching as I pass
don't tell me I'm insane
I've heard it all before
And saw something more
So many shattered mirrors blocking every door...
Solo Section
Repeat Chorus
Outro

Nicely done!
That synth echo at the start should have been in the ending too, that would have tied it together a bit more IMO.
;D ;D ;D
