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 BIAB Tracks: 3786: Bass, Synth, MinimalHipHopHeld 095 3250: Guitar, Electric, Soloist ModernFunk 110 3784: Synth, Rhythm, GhostPads 095 1870: Synth Pad, PopModernGroove 075 Loop: Chillout/Chillout - Everest 85 Bass Loop: Drums/FolkModernSW16 Loop: Chillout/Autumn 82 Drum RealDrums: ElecRisersHypeTrain As always - thanks for listening!

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.

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

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.
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.

Bob, this is an outstanding song. 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.

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!
