Story behind the song
Sitting, and talking over a "cold one" at the Coconut Blues Club, Morten Gjermundsen showed me a unfinished track he had for a while, and asked if I would be interested in doing a jam with him and Paul Barnes. As soon as I heard it, a old unfinished song/poem of mine came into focus and the words were written right then. The music came together quickly, and the words fit into place .. after working with my voice for a few days, I managed the vocals .. and now present it to you.
Lyrics
Pebble in the Sky : by Michael Duran : 1/11/2008 Weve turned away the night, and wrapped our Earth in light. We reach into her deep, to pull her treasures out. And when it's all gone, Will anyone hear her shout? Dont let our fires die. We are here together, Dont let our fires die! We are here together, Dont let our fires die! We are here together, On this pebble in the sky. And when it is all gone, Will any body hear her song? Dont let our fires die, On this pebble in the sky. Dont let our fires die, On this pebble in the sky.

A great collab by you guys. The guitar work is absolutely wonderful, but so is the whole piece. The message is clear to everyone: We may live on this small rock, so insignificant in the vast universe, but we have a huge responsibility to take care of it, as it is unique with all it's life and it is the place our children will grow up. The vocals are welle done and well produced. A touch of Moody Blues there! Fantastic work by all of you!

Hi Michael. I will be very honest with you on this one. It is a great song with a lot of potential. Morten does a great work on this, and i like your singing too. I have two issues though: Lyrics means a lot to me and when you move into important issues like this one are, then I really search that the punchlines attends more directly to the listener. Put them into a dillema so they have something to think about. Alright the lyric does point out our problem, but it could adress my participation in this destruction a lot more than it does. We all are guilty somehow. Either we don't speak, or we don't care and both are equally bad. I would go for a more direct and personal approach when political issues are adressed. Secondly... Mortens solo is fantastic. He's a great artist, but when the lyrics run, he is very overexposed. I would draw him back in the sound picture when the vocals are running in order to put focus on the lyrics. However - the intro is awsome. That put focus on the i
