Crazy Sundials
Lyrics - Casia (Katherine Wong)
Vocals - Tricia41 (Tricia Dovidio)
Music/Arrangement/Production/Mix/Master/Tea Boy - Stonehead (Ian Burrage)
Crazy Sundials
(V1)
If love is blind
Am I living in hell
'Cause that means hate can see
And I see so well
(PreChorus)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
But life is beautiful, so beautiful
(V2)
It's twice as cold tomorrow
And it's zero today
Should I laugh or cry
When love's gone away
(PreChorus)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
But life is beautiful, so beautiful
(Chorus)
If I fell off a cliff should I try to fly
Pain seems to be my pleasure
I should lay down and die
The gods are all crazy
And my life is in their hands
(V3)
I think I'll run away
To a villa in Rome
Live the perfect life
Where I'm never alone
(PreChorus)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
But life is beautiful, so beautiful
(Chorus)
If I fell off a cliff should I try to fly
Pain seems to be my pleasure
I should lay down and die
The gods are all crazy
And my life is in their hands
(V4)
There's nothing sweeter
Than lips on your cheek
Along a winding path
From your head to your feet
(Outro/bridge)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
Life is beautiful there's no way around
I've learned to live with my ups and my downs
Life is beautiful, so beautiful

CD

Thanks CD :).
Stoney and Tricia:
Yahoo! That was a blast :). I really enjoyed putting this song together. I LOVE it! I'm singing it around the house all the time. It's the happiest song I have ;D. Great vocals as always Tricia.
Thanks Ian for allowing me to put my words of "death" to your happy tune ;D. I love the change in V4 - very cool! That's twice we've had a threesome now >:D, hope it was good for you too.
Til the next one....TGIF....I'm opening the champagne (okay, beer really)
Later...Casia
(P.S. - Ian, can you attach an MP3 so I can add this to my soundclick station)
-
Wow, this one was fun. A challenge at first..... waiting for lyrics...singing la las. ;D
It turned out so nice. I still love the bridge. I love the way the chords change there. :) Happy.
-
Hi Ian:
FYI, the lyrics you have posted here are the original lyrics not the final lyrics. The final lyrics can be found on page 6 in the Project Studio if you'd like to change them. Thanks.
Later...Casia :)
-
Nice one guys. I like the changes from talking to simple drumbeats. Catchy tune. Well sung Tricia. Nice song. Life is beautiful !! 8)

Fantastic tune everyone! :)
I agree with Casia..one of those tunes that gets stuck in your head ;D For some reason, I see this in a soundtrack or television show..really original, love it..keep 'em coming! :)
Marc

Hey
Thanks for the kind comments guys, this track has been a lot of fun and Marc any TV show would do LOL
Casia I have attached the mp3 you asked for and amended the lyrics.
Cheers Ian

Hi:
Thanks Stoney :). I shall upload to my site(s). Yahooo! Or should I say "Yeee Hawwww!" ;D
Later...Casia

Hi Everyone,
Great tune!! Love the warm relaxed feeling. The singing is very atmospheric.
My favourite part is the bridge -- its beautiful!! Quite a contrast of light and shade there - So beatific and so about death:)
The horns work well!
Cheers,
Andy
-
Thank you Andy glad you like it .... the horns are from the Chris Hein midi set..... we had a lot of fun on this one.
Cheers Ian
-
Thanks Andy!
I'm still not sure how (or why) the gods play with crazy sundials though. ;D
-
i guess they use crazy sundials to regulate the amount of sunshine alloted in the UK:)
-
What a delight to listen to! Well done, all. :D
Casia, this is one of your 'simpler' lyrics, and I love it. ;)
Great vocals, Tricia. ;)
Donna

Thanks Andy and Donna:
Come on everyone "Crazy Sundials", look a little deeper. The gods are regulating the weather, playing chess with your life - rain or shine. Or, metaphorically whether your life is going good or bad, happy or sad, love or hate - got it!!!
Yes, my happy song about death, but if the gods don't want you to die, you're not gonna die, they just might make you suffer a little while first ;D ;D ;D. Oh, the cruelty of it all >:D.
Later...Casia
-
Oh ......................................I thought it was a song about garden ornaments....................... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Not really Casia :-*
Thanks all
-
OH! Casia, that realliy IS deep. ;) :D
I had no idea. Just readin' off the page. ;D
-
Nevertheless, it's still one of your simpler lyrics, Casia. ;D ;)
Donna
-
Thanks Donna:
It certainly was fun to have death and beautiful in the same song ;D ;D. I just love what Stoney and Tricia did for this. I'm AMUSED - to say the least. Ah! I'm gonna go listen again.
Later...Casia
-
I thought it was a Love Song :(
-
CD:
I don't know how to write a love song, don't you know that by now :o. What's the connection with sundials and love????

Much appreciated Thanks

I think this is my first collaboration with Tricia and Stoney in 2008. It is now going to be the first song in my musical "Wounded Healer". I haven't listened to this in about two years.
And Tricia, I never answered why the Gods play with crazy sundials. It's my metaphor with them "Playing with Time", which they have no sense of since they are immortal, but they certainly played with the humans.
That's what I LOVE about Tricia, she'll sing my lyrics even if they make no sense to her LOL xx
I think it will fit perfectly ... Oh, new ideas are popping into my head as I listen

Hey I remember this one :) :) :)
-
@CD you were suppose to say "Hey I remember this one and its super fantastic" ;D
Thanks Stoney, I will probably need something from you when I get closer to the end ;)
@Tricia - I Know, I know .... it's much easier to write lyrics than to go to the next phase and put it together in an album. I guarantee it WILL happen, I'm just not sure when. I need to collect ALL the mp3s in one place first and we need a really "cool" photo of you for the cover. Something bizarre, maybe twisted like a Picasso painting hahaha! If you have some ideas for an image that would be cool. The other option is to go very sparse.... a photo of you with your guitar on a wooden stool on a completely stark white background.
-
Ok. I'll try to make myself sparse. ;D ;D ;D
-
We should have both of our faces, maybe profiles, looking at each other. in black and white.
-
Oh no ... I'm gonna be incognito ... you're the star here. Nobody cares about the lyricist ;D
-
Mark cares..didnt he say he is going to send you a pic of him eating birthday chocolate cake in his b'day suit or something like that?
Oh no ... I'm gonna be incognito ... you're the star here. Nobody cares about the lyricist ;D
-
@CD you were suppose to say "Hey I remember this one and its super fantastic" ;D
That goes without saying ::)
-
He could just post the picture here and save a stamp ... unless he has something to hide :D ... and darers do not go first in this case :), my birthday, my rules

Fedex refused to take it ::)

-
;D BURN!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I think I get a point eh Tricia - buzzinga
-
Yeah ... they don't want to be bothered with small packages :D
Hey..all the best things come in small packages ! :o
-
Yes ... that's what the rumours say ...
-
Yes ... that's what the rumours say ...
I know..I started them ;)

It's nice to hear this one again. An old fav of mine ;)
