Topic: Is There Anybody Out There

I wrote this because I seem to spend a lot of time wondering if we alone in the universe, or if there is life after death, or past life or a 4th dimension or I'm getting old and it's part of life to wonder. I don't necessarily believe in any or all the above but there are times when I do feel something is there.. but what? Are we alone? I wonder.

Done in the style of Pink Floyd with heavy David Gilmour licks and riffs.

Is There Anybody Out Thereby Ken Peters April 2010


                                                     


[C]Staring out my bedroom window,


[C]Gazing past a full and crusty [Am]moon.


[C]Visions of another world,


[C]Rise up inside me on a gold ba[Am]lloon.


[Am]Is there anybody out there?




I hear you [F]whisper in the trees,


I hear your [G]haunting melodies,


I sense you [Am]laugh.


I feel your [F]presence all around,


But I can't [G]touch you as I'm bound by blood of [Am]Ma-[F]a-a-[G]an.




                         


[C]Images of ghostly figures,


[C]Dance for me as shadows on the [Am]wall.


[C]Is what I see another world,


[C]A looking glass to climb through so I [Am]call,


[Am]Is there anybody out there.




I smell [F]your fragrance in a rose,


I feel your [G]touch when cold wind blows


Across my [Am]neck.


I feel your [F]presence all around,


But I can't [G]touch you as I'm bound by blood of [Am]Ma-[F]a-a-[G]an.




                                (David Gilmour style lead guitar for the verse}





Have you been [F]hiding in my dreams.


[G]Writing out the scenes,


To guide my [Am]path.


I feel your [F]presence all around,


I need to [G]know you but I'm bound by blood of [Am]Ma-[F]a-a-[G]an




                                                       (David Gilmour style lead guitar for the outro}




[G][G] [G] [G] [G] [G][G]




Is there anybody [C]out there?


Anyone at [Am]all.


Is there anybody [C]out there?


Can you hear me when I [Am]call.


Can you [C]hear me?


Can you [Am]see me?


Did you [C]touch me?


Did you de[Am]cieve me?


Is there anybody [C] out there!


Is there anyone at [Am]all.


Is there anybody [C] out there!


Won't you answer when I [Am] call!


                           


[F] [G]






[C]

Re: Is There Anybody Out There

Would really like to hear this one Ken. I can't quite "feel" it. I really think you're on to something here

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

Re: Is There Anybody Out There

Hi Kap54, absolutely brilliant, you have hit the nail on the head. There are many, many esoteric ''things'' out there that we in our closeted world have no true understanding of. Also, as you said, the song has a very ''Floydie'' feel to it. well done again.

Keep on Rocking and remember Animals Feel Pain Too.

You have to wonder when the hair stands up on the back of your neck...Is there something out there or do I just need a haircut. smile

Re: Is There Anybody Out There

hi kenny, or is it kap?....lol

i honestly cant remember if i replied or if it was russ, whichever way it is i think it's grrrrreat (put on a tony the tiger voice for that bit) lines i particularly like;

1. crusty moon

2.  looking glass to fly through

3. dave gilmore style solo.....

it must be really frustrating writing all these fab songs and not being able to let us all know how they should sound...come-on get the manual out and start recording

your welsh friend

Re: Is There Anybody Out There

Hiya Phill, I haven't been dropping by as much as I should so I wasn't sure who was responding. roll
Thanks mate for the read and comments. big_smile

It is pretty frustrating that I can't wrap my brain around recording. I find it more frustrating that I'm critical of myself which in turn creates the vicious circle.....Oiy Vay

Time for a med lol

Cheers and thanks my friend
