about

This song is inspired heavily by the music of Pink Floyd. I wrote this song after reading the PDF "The SongMix Method: How to Write a Hit Rock Song in 1 Hour" by Dan O'Connor.
The song was written on the 11th of January 2016.
This was recorded in the UpBeat studios in December 2016, with all of the instruments recorded separately. The track was finished on the 11th of December.

lyrics

A cold breeze blows in the air
I look around and there is nothing there
We were heroes, but we’ve lost our souls
Running around and digging holes

Killing time, we left ourselves behind
We were surrounded by the light, afraid and blind
And when the fire died, we were divided
They built walls and our thoughts collided

You’re a ghost; and you lie in your cage
Some years ago, you were on the stage
Bridges burned, my eye sheds a tear
My friend, I wish you were here.

Think of the smiles you used to give
But those moments are filled with pain
I open the window and look to the skies
And I wonder if you are still sane

The water flows and life goes on
The sun was sinking, and now it is gone
Staring into the horizon, you’re quiet and helpless
You hide behind cold and tired eyes

You’re a ghost; and you lie in your cage
Some years ago, you were on the stage
Bridges burned, my eye sheds a tear
My friend, I wish you were here.
