sounds like 'Allan Parsons with the Police in Fleetwood Macs garage' and then ivor cutler comes in and tells them to tidy things up a bit.
oldrottenhead the bunkbeds from clydebank scotland bedroom band influenced by the flaming lips and pixies
the bunkbeds are jim higgins and the occasional guest players.
home made indy rock lofi musings that doesn't take itself to seriously best describes the music and the band.
everything recorded at home all on cheap n nasty equipment.
the ultimate bedroom band.
of late i have found myself collaborating with musicians the world over, predominantly with lyrics and vocals so if you have a tune banging around that you cant come up with lyrics for send it my way and i'll see if i can help.
Story behind the song
final update 16th august 2008.
this song is dedicated to the memory of one Donald Morrison who recently passed away and to all who knew and loved him. Donny was an original member of the bunkbeds and a well loved friend, i'll remember your smile always.
this final mix again is down to Ken's hard work, and includes his master stroke of suggesting using my daughter jenna (6 years old) in the speaking part at the end. everything you read after this sentence was posted for earlier versions of this song, which was about a month in the making but i'm leaving them here to show the timeline and effort involved.
.i sent a lyric to ken aka hooper he came up with music but felt original lyric didnt fit andsuggested the theme of way beyond your dreams, that was inspiration ennuff for me, so here is the result, please note is work in progress better versions to come soon.updated in elounda 25th of july 2008. new update july 28th elounda. updated on 30th july with ken on backing vox, more updates to come, this ones for donny.ok this is the latest update 14th august 2008, happy birthday wee brother. this will not be the last post but this is a rough idea of how it will sound, ken is currently mastering it so shouldnt be long till it appears.update 15th august nearly there should be a final mix soon
Lyrics
I bet you never thought it'd come to pass
Or thought that things could ever turn this way
But when you try to think about it
Its way beyond your dreams
Way beyond your dreams
Who knows what tomorrow holds
What surprise it has in store
How the cards are gonna fall
If you can take it anymore
Its way beyond your dreams
Way beyond your dreams
When you break it all right down
Does anything make sense
How do you make it through each day
where do you find the strength
Somethings we will never know
We have to just go with the flow
So just enjoy the ride
I want to hold you in my arms
I want to make you understand
I don't have a masterplan
Its way beyond your dreams
Way beyond your dreams
When you break it all right down
Does anything make sense
How do you make it through each day
where do you find the strength
Somethings we will never know
We have to just go with the flow
So just enjoy the ride
And learn to love this life
Way beyond your dreams etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
little girl: daddy! what's that you're making?
daddy: something very very special.
little girl: what's it for?
daddy: i don't know yet.
little girl: why is it so big and round?
daddy: that's what makes it so very very special.
