Mysterian - The Longest Day

A simple, sweet snappy reflection on togetherness, hope, love and all the rest. I love the equinox every year. Got me thinking… Who would you like to run away with on the longest day?

All aboard the ship of dreams
Until it’s bursting at the seams
Sailing on the rising tide
Away away away away
Chorus
Where we’re going I cannot tell or say
Until we reach the very end…
Of the longest day
Weight the anchor stow the oars
Put the sails away indoors
Journeys done, and here we are
Away, Away, Away
Chorus
Hold my hand and let us dream
All you need to do is believe
On the longest day
Solo
Chorus
Where it is I cannot tell or say
Until we reach the very end…
Of the longest day
And if the stars don’t come out tonight
And the skies are strangely light
Its just the planets equinox
On the longest day, far away, away, away
Chorus
How long we’ll be here I cannot tell or say
Lets just stay till the very end…
Of the longest day

Great words+tune,I like the way you mix the waves in.

[@Juliemeikleandmelreeves]

I think the melody in this is one of your strongest. I like the changes in rhythm and the movement of the chords behind. Great job.

Great song - I love your sound and style and the sound of the sea incorporated in the song. Really natural earthy vibe.

@@loulightfrench23 thanks, the sea song came from the video I used and seemed to fit.
