...here's that song i was talking about. sorry, moki and setf, but i really don't know if i want to cut this 'cause i'm really happy with the way this song turned out.

this song was written with a guitar that was mistuned on purpose (i tuned the high "e" string to a high "d" instead. =P). so, i really, seriously don't know what chords i used. i can tell you however that it's a nice, meaningful, expressive song; don't just read the lyrics, 'cause there's far more to it than meets the eye. =P

...and it's also one of my more alternative songs.

the rescue
written and composed by kince, 05212002

walking along, she finds her way
on this narrow path of chalk and clay
she stops to pick up a familiar stone
the one last marker she left all alone

she's obviously been here some time before
but she's got no strength left in her anymore
she can't define her coordinates
giving in, she sits and waits

...and she wails,

"little prince, come rescue me
save me from insanity
take your hand and reach for mine
and i'll be forever thine...

"save me."

she picks herself up and tries to stand
trying to make her way on shifting sand
he watches her stumble twice and fall
and suddenly she starts sinking in it all

and she cries,

"little prince, come rescue me
save me from insanity
take your hand and reach for mine
and i'll be forever thine...

"save me.
save me..."

|instrumental to build-up and then die down|

he looks at her and sadly smiles
the distance between them extends thousands of miles
she begs him desp'rately for help
to which he sadly just shakes his head

and he says,

"little girl, i can't help you
my hands are tied in ropes i can't undo
but i can jump in and join you sink
then we'll be together; now, what do you think?

"what do you think?"

|soft instrumental to build-up; much wailing/ad lib|

"little girl, i can't help you
my hands are tied in ropes i can't undo
but i can jump in and join you sink
then we'll be together; now, what do you think?

"little girl...i can't save you
but i can jump in and join you
what do you think?

|music dies down again|

"what do you think?

"save me..."

so, what do you think, guys? =P i was really happy with the way this song turned out.

peace, luv, unity, respect
