Story behind the song
Features my friend Madi on lead electric guitar and production. I played acoustic and sang and there's a solo break with me playing guitar in open tuning. We are recording this again in a much tighter version. The backing vocals are by Bethan Frieze and drums by Meirion. Review by Lynn Carey Saylor coming up: Oh my God, "Welsh Wizard" is SO COOL, Bard!!! The guitar in that is amazing. At times, I am reminded of Lindsay Buckingham on this track. Who is playing all that electric stuff? Is that you? It's rockin'! Your vocals are great too - nice and clear, great delivery - perfect as a matter of fact. REALLY love it! You say it's just a "demo", but it sounds like finished product to me! Excellent job - HOT VOTE coming up!
Lyrics
I wear the emblem of my land of birth Which is the dragon an almighty lizard, I am a master of the mystic art, For I, I am a Welsh wizard. Born on the cusp of Aries, I know all about star-signs, And when I roam about the land I'm following the ley-lines, I gather up the sacred herbs to make a potent brew, I use the things I know about to make my dreams come true. I wear the emblem of my land of birth Which is the dragon an almighty lizard, I am a master of the mystic art, For I, I am a Welsh wizard. With my words and music I weave a magic spell, At times I travel to other planes Where spirits and angels dwell, For I am a modern shaman Working with the powers around Or chanting sacred mantras, Meditating to their sound. I-A-O, I-A-O I wear the emblem of my land of birth Which is the dragon an almighty lizard, I am a master of the mystic art, For I, I am a Welsh wizard.
