Hi All,

Here's something new called One Night In Broken Arrow.

Don’t ask me how I got here
And maybe it’s a fever dream
I’m standing on some ghost ground
And I can hear the screams

You can call it a Hilton
You can discount all the souls
Or listen for the foot steps
Of a wild pony foal

But I can’t shake this feeling
And it’s wicked and it’s narrow
And I can’t lose this vision
One night in Broken Arrow

Don’t ask me what her name was
Or what she likes to wear
I remember all the midnight beads
And silver lotus in her hair

She was talking about freedom
The Creek Tribe never knew
On what became a freeway
Separated from her crew

But I can’t shake this feeling
And it’s wicked and it’s narrow
And I can’t lose this vision
One night in Broken Arrow

The cars race down Highway 51
Where the old tribe used to run
But I can taste the trail of tears
In the blowback from the guns

But I can’t shake this feeling
And it’s wicked and it’s narrow
And I can’t lose this vision
One night in Broken Arrow

But I can’t shake this feeling
And it’s wicked and it’s narrow
And I can’t lose this vision
One night in Broken Arrow

As always - thanks for listening!

Bob

I love the poetry of your lyrics, Bob.
Gives the listener something to think about which is a refreshing change from the norm.
To my ears (which are past their sell by date) there is a bit of low end hum which you may have intended or maybe needs addressing or maybe ignoring.

Vic

Thanks Vic. Much appreciated. Yes, that low hum is intentional. It’s part of the bass synth.

Bob

Yes, this is very cool Bob.
You're breaking some new ground for yourself with this arrangement, definitely got some very interesting things going on with the funk, and blues kind of a stylistic mashup with electronica going on.
Very nice!
And the lyrics as always are Dynamite.

That's a pretty cool song with (as always) good lyrics.
The band is different from your usual stuff, but I really love it, the bass synthesizer adds a lot to it.
Great idea!
I'd probably transpose the song down a few semitones because I like your voice better when it's not so high, but that's just a personal preference.

That is an outstanding lyric packed full of great imagery.

The modern funk guitar is cool and the fills make us think of pebbles being skipped across a pond.
And in that pond we can see the visions that he is describing.

The solo supports the mention of the blowback from the guns.
The bass synth is ominous!

Your entire production sounds modern and yet different … in the good way.

Excellent mix, vocals and band as always!

Bob, dark and menacing song...I like it a lot! Great write and vocals. The arrangement and production gives it a very cool vibe.

Brian,

Thanks - much appreciated.

Bob

Bob.

Color me....Blown Away!
WOW.

An incredible lyric. It paints pictures like an art film. It tells a troubled story like a documentary.

The backing tracks are as Fresh and Perfectly Chosen as the words of the lyric.

Your vocal drips with authenticity.

This is Damn Good Music.

Another in the North American Cartographer's Songbook.
Sounds fabulous - the loops work a treat.
Thanks for the cultural/historical education along the way.

Fantastic lyrics and a great vocal.
I really liked the backing band.
A great mix.
IMHO this is one of if not the best to date.

Laurent,

Thanks very much.

Bob

There are many machines to Bob Dean. Love the Lyric-Writing Machine. Man, your vocals... At first I thought it wasn't you, but that unimitable soud was recognized. What a terrific song, Bob. "Blow-back from the guns" indeed. Sweet guitar really adds the right touch.

Hi Bob.

What a journey!
You've done a superb job capturing a dream-like sequence with somewhat haunting overtones.
The imagery in these lyrics is breathtaking and as the lyrics unfold, the pictures filled my mind.
The writing skills and musicianship on show here are of the highest order.
You've got my standing ovation!

--Noel

Bob...well that was different...intriguing for sure...you always excel lyrically and produce great stories and poetry in your work...love the intro...raw and dirty...the electric is very cool...another stellar production and arrangement of the band!

Thanks so much.

Bob

Hi, Bob.

Your lyrics are outstanding:

   The cars race down Highway 51
   Where the old tribe used to run
   But I can taste the trail of tears
   In the blowback from the guns

The arrangement is moody with an underlying sense of tension, and the vocals like the narration of a street poet.

Really, really good.

David,

That's very kind - thank you.

Bob

Hi Bob,

I really like the band you have put together for this one, great sound, and different.
Excellent lyrics as always! And I always love your vocals, nice spoken word part too.
Nice!

Dave,

Thanks so much.

Bob

I always love you lyrics. These are fantastic. Some of your best.

Excellent production. I see you are trying new things in the studio. The mood of the instruments accentuates the great lyrics.

Scott,

Thanks. I appreciate the kind words.

Bob

What a cool intro Bob. Loved the way you processed your vocal. Reminds me of the late 60's. Buffalo Springfield guitar tones. Really well done.

Scott,

Thanks very much - I appreciate that.

Bob
