Heavy Skies
This chord challenge was hard!!! I think I got in everything that was mentioned in the challenge – tucked away somewhere.
The choice of subject was whatever we wanted, so I looked out the window and it was very misty out there – so that is what I chose. And that was where the difficulties began. I intended to describe the mist rolling down the hill, swallowing trees and buildings etc. It went through several incarnations as I desperately tried to bludgeon it into shape. After a whole day of despair (with my mojo missing presumed dead) I woke up in the middle of last night with a change of direction – phew. So now it is a misty morning that feels like the end of the world. Its a bit too slow at the moment – so I think it will change a bit as I “bed it in” before singing it in public. Anyway – it feels good to get as far as being able to post it for the challenge,
Nice and moody
Well done Kris and we’ll worth the effort x
This effectively sets a haunting mood Kris, in your typical style which I really like. It feels delightfully wistful (and you managed to use those chords!)
Well done, Kris, this meets the brief, I would say. You’ve certainly conjured up some haunting images there, I know what you mean about misty mornings, I was driving in fog the other day and it felt like other-worldly and spooky, but very atmospheeric. Cheers, Phil
Love this Kris. Lovely gentle guitar part great lyrics and I really like your vocal.
I loved this Kris. Comments on FB.
Moody and descriptive. I live in the country at 800′ and can relate to the images conjured up. The sky falls regularly around here.
Very moody and atmospheric. You have a unique voice and there is something about it that reminds me of someone or something which I can’t put my finger on. The structure is very unsual which has grabbed my attention. My spider senses feel slightly Stevie Nicks’ in terms of genre but then again………….
Very interesting-I am very curious about what else you have up your sleeve.
For my taste, an excellent tune. Very sonic and visual. When I connect with a tune it will nearly always take me somewhere. In this case, I was transported to a smokey cabaret, where a surprisingly good singer with a great tune was laying it out for anyone that would listen. Great work all around!
Haunting and beautiful Kris – as ever! Love it.
Comments elsewhere Kris. You know I’m a fan of your stuff and this is no exception. Gets my vote 😉
Very atmospheric and conjuror of imagery. The lyrics and music match perfectly. Great response and thankyou for giving it a go!
Another KK classic “wrapped in a window sheet”. I’ll have some of whatever you’re on! Lovely, could listen all day (and probably will).
Well done, I love the intro and the ring of the chords, it makes me want to snuggle up in warm blanket and window watch the world.
You paint such powerful images with your voice & lyrics. I love the “end of days” vocabulary too, adding an other-worldly feel.
Quaint, captivating style, never quite sure where it is going to next. Like ths v much
“Sleeping off the whisky” .. but still have the “last of the bottle” next to the bed, just in case. Probably still under the influence and enjoying the romantic (if somewhat dark) notions that an exaggerated and wandering perception brings. The gentle accompaniment and melody evoke delicious morning drowsiness. Gold star!
Thanks for all the lovely comments above. Much appreciated!
I love your singing style!!!!
Good one Kris😁👍
I love songs with space. This is fabulous Kris. Kept me interested from start to finish
