Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. What a surprise this one was! No sooner did I stumble into this song that I found Travis had sent me these lyrics! Thanks again Travis! Its rough but you should get a good idea of where I'm headed. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12335692GYPSY WIND She hears the calling from within then flies away on a gypsy wind She'll never settle with any man so you better love her while you can Chorus Gypsy wind keep blowing carry me wherever she is going Or bring her back this way again on the wings of a gypsy wind You know she'll never stay by your side you'll love her deeply, love can't hide You'd follow her to the very end travels alone on the gypsy wind Gypsy wind keep blowing carry me wherever she is going Or bring her back this way again on the wings of a gypsy wind Hair black as charcoal,eyes emerald green please let me see into your soul, into your soul! This gypsy wind's etched in her soul fall in love and you'll pay a toll She'll leave you crying torn apart no room for sharing in her heart Chorus Gypsy wind keep blowing carry me wherever she is going Or at least bring her back this way again on the wings of a gypsy wind

Nice marriage of lyric and melody. Has a good ole early 70s sound to it which I really like. I'm interested in hearing it in its completion. You guys have done some really good material together.

Theres alot of work to do, and it probably wont happen till end of june anyways. I really did this to give Travis an idea of what direction I was going with his lyrics. It reminds me of something Van Morrison would do. I'm still working on the delivery and melody. Thanks for checking it out Stevie, and for the encouragement!

Sounds good. Reminds me a bit of Brandy by Looking Glass.

Todd,
This definitely has a 70's vibe musically and lyrically--I like it though. Interesting melody as well--definitely has potential with a bit more production! Way to go!

Loved the 1970s Eddie, I didn't plan it to be a lyric associated with that period though.Todd had Van Morrison in mind when he came up with the melody /vocal I think so yes I suppose your thoughts fit in well.
I'm sure Todd would like to reply also.
Thanks again for your feedback

Thanks Eddie, not sure if I'm gonna stick with following the lick with the vocal, still trying to figure it out. We think it has potential also, just lacking time to work on it right now.

Hi guys, I liked it all but the cool guitar riff alone was worth the price of admission. Calvin http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/calvinstewart
