Once again I have had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Johnny Ojanpera on a song. Johnny’s fabulous music drew some lyrics from me that he very kindly allowed me to sing to his composition. I hope you like it. I personally love it. Well chuffed. 🙂
Scatter my world
Dream in reverse
Lost in the mazes of mind
And the chases, I’m cursed
Scatter my world
Dream in reverse
Lost in the mazes of mind
On repeat, oh so cursed
Fragments of planet
Earthly confusion, all an illusion
Piecing together the portions
Of dreams in reverse
Fragments of planet
Earthly confusion, all an illusion
Piecing together the portions
Repeated reverse
Repeat the pattern
Backwards I’m travellin’
Eye over shoulder
Looking behind and ahead
Waking in dreams in reverse
Neither living nor dead
Repeat the pattern
Backwards I’m travellin’
Eye over shoulder
Looking behind and ahead
Waking in dreams in reverse
Am I living or dead
Reverse the nightmare
Reverse the nightmare
Reverse the dream in my head
Reverse the nightmare
Reverse the nightmare
Reverse the nightmare
Am I living or dead
Reverse
Reverse
Reverse
Reverse the dream in my head
Reverse
Implosion, explosion
Purpled contusions
Dreams in reverse
Where I hurt and I heal
Expansion, contraction
Nothing is real.
Dream in reverse.
Reverse the dream.
This absolute perfection.

I was trying to hear the accent, but they’re lost when singing. This is very cool, well done on the collaboration. 😊

Thanks, Jen. Yeah, I think accents mostly disappear when singing unless you make a conscious effort to maintain which I do when singing Oh, Flower of Scotland or its ilk. 🙂

wow wow wow – the only suitable word is BRAVO! – the words, the voice, the music all worked to elicit feelings last experienced while listening to the Moody Blues

Aw, thanks very much, Paul. I haven’t heard the Moody Blues in such a long time but I take that as a great compliment given how much I did enjoy them back in the day. It was fun to do this song, a respite from school work and home life, which is just non-stop at the moment. Might need to work on a bit of reverse for that shortly. 🙂

Great music and a superb lyric which is quite haunting and beautifully sung.
A hit? ‘Not ‘arf, pop pickers!’
