Waiting For The Rain by Phil McWalter published on 2023-03-31T12:48:11Z The Valuable Friends: @janinelevinson - Incredible Vocals and Voice Effects @rick-4-1 - Beautiful Drums @phil-mcwalter - The Other Stuff WAITING FOR THE RAIN And the vines abide And lean on old familiar ways From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire You can feel it in your soul Standing on Dryhill You can feel it in your soul Standing on Dryhill The hidden lines and lives Walk their natural time above the plain From hill fort to the bunkers underground The hill can quicken up your pulse Standing on Dryhill You can taste it on your breath Standing on Dryhill Looking from Dryhill Waiting for the rain Waiting for the rain Aeons old and yesterday In a scintillation (Standing on Dryhill) A breathless moment under The curious twinkling stars (Standing on Dryhill) The water moves beneath us It moves below the ice (below, be-low) A long-gone, summer swift scream The hill is not dry The vines do not wither Rippling the waters of our many lives The heart of the hill Beats on Pushing the sleeping rabbit to awake and run (run, run, run) Seize the seasons Hang the reasons In a thousand years the hill will not remember us or its many names… Our heads boiled, eaten down to the white bone And the vines abide And lean on old familiar ways From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire You can feel it in your soul You can feel it in your soul Standing on Dryhill Standing on Dryhill Waiting for the rain Standing on Dryhill Looking from Dryhill Looking from Dryhill Waiting for the rain Waiting for the rain Standing on Dryhill… Phil McWalter Jan 2023 Recorded at Dryhill, Upper Rissington, Coventry and California Art: My own manipulated image from the top of the hill...

Congrats to the team! But "The Other Stuff" ain't too shabby either!! Quite epic, and so creative!! Love it, Phil...just so impressive, from the development of the idea at the core of the song's essence to the the flow and morphing of the varied sections..especially the drum roll signalling the great guitar/vocal mix at 3m!!! Whoa!! Superbly crafted, mixed and produced!! 2023-04-28T19:50:41Z
