Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A great song from The Flower Kings double album...Paradox Hotel. I've always enjoyed this song and it wasn't until I attempted to 'cover' it, that I realized how complicated the arrangement is. It's certainly been a big challenge and for that reason, I've given my version a different ending.
Lyrics
Lucy Had a Dream By The Flower Kings Lucy had a dream last night Lucy dream in black and white Lucy was left there on her own Out in the field, out in the cold She had her summer dress, no shoes She had no plan, she had no clue Maybe the angels beamed her down Maybe she hurried out of town Leaving a family behind Is someone missing her? God, he knows where little Lucy goes She's alone in her dreams high in the fields The men just moving in and out of her life Just to prove that she's not dead, she's alright Lucy has a dream last night Lucy is beyond the skies Lucy is higher than a kite In the back of 60's Cadillac She has a stranger in her arms She ain't going back home until dawn God, he knows where little Lucy goes She's alone in her dreams high in the fields The men just moving in and out of her life Just to prove that she's not dead, she's alright

Never heard the original. There are a lot of different chord changes in this one and musical intervals in the melody. Quite psychedelic sounding. I wish I had some of what Lucy had tonight on this dark rainy night in SW Ontario.:) Sounds like she's got a good buzz going on! lol....Seriously though, great song. Kudos on nailing those chord changes. Don't think I could do a song like this.

Well I really must listen to more Flower Kings. I dont know the original but if its half as good as this it will be brilliant. Wonderful stuff, and youre stretching your vocals which I think is a good thing. Psychedelic wonderment.

You've picked a very haunting, complicated song with many twists and turns to cover here. Great job, you've captured the vibe and reproduced the journey very well - I imagine this must have taken quite a bit of work. Fantastic guitar playing and excellent production. I think this kind of music is right up your street with it's psychedelic and prog rock fusion. Looking forward to hearing more of this kind of music from you - I'll take a front row seat!

Very very impressive that you followed all that key changing hopscotch of chords. You Rock, David. I will have to try harder.

Watch out for those 'mind control beams', I hate when that happens. No, I mean in general, it sounds cool in the song.

I'm beyond Impressed. I'm Inspired. David you've bettered the original. Having just heard the original. This is Great. You've upped your game, and you've made me well aware I have to up my game also. I'm listening to it now for the 2nd time... Damn Fine Work.
