Title: Mission (Tricia/Stoman/G. D. McLeman)
Post by: stoman on October 14, 2008, 02:51:31 PM

Finally - my first finished collaboration with fabulous Tricia at the mic! :)

Vocals: Tricia Dovidio
Lyrics: Grant D. McLeman
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann (Stoman)


Mission
(Grant D. McLeman, 2008)

Feeble tigers roam the streets
with ancient guns
and checkpoints have appeared.
The eiderdown days have gone
and meals will be thinner now.

I watch the mocking-birds flock
to see the new man.
He keeps his smile for special times.
He is smiling now.

It's time to put on a different hat
and leave by the servant's entrance.
My caravan days are back again
and I will be thinner soon.

I watch the mocking-birds flock
to see the new man.
He keeps his smile for special times.
He is smiling now.

It's time to put on a different hat
and leave by the servant's entrance.
Outside, I avoid camera jerk
with a steady hand but still
have a shaky mind.

My thoughts are a ten lane freeway
and I realise the airport's closed
I switch on my radio and wait ...

Regards,
  Steffen

Man! How did I miss this?  ???

Blimey Steffen, you've got everything in there except the kitchen sink! I love it!

The production is slightly strange but it works wonderfully well.... and that is a fab vocal Mrs. Dovidio!

Well done guys!

Aidan.

Hi,

Solid composition, good lyrics, and nicely relaxed singing there Tricia.

Definitely a different (fresh) sound and feel, a very welcome one at that.

Sounds good guys...the song has some intersting textures that makes it interesting to the ear...kind of like a pop rock country thing going on...decent song.

The latest mix was still not what I was looking for - at least not after listening with fresh ears a couple of weeks/months later. ;)

I like the vocal mix better in this new version.
