A gentler song and possibly my favourite.
Self-Composed songs written and recorded at home. A variety of styles.
My pal, Paul Valentine writes the lyrics and I write the music.
The first recording of a new idea.
There is no bass on most tracks. These are rough first-take demos.

Story behind the song
Wasn't happy with original mix and left this sitting for quite some time before re-mixing.
Lyrics
Like waves that break, upon the shore
Swept along, ‘Til waves no more
Crashing down, Along the beach
Torn asunder, And out of reach.
I can’t touch you, Can’t reach you
When you hide, Behind your mask
You can’t see me, Can’t hear me
When you hide, Behind your mask
A friend becomes, A stranger
When you hide, Behind your mask
Hide behind your mask.
A million stars, Up in the sky
Shine and fade, Then surely die
Just emptiness, To fill the void
Farewell to all, You once enjoyed.
I can’t touch you, Can’t reach you
When you hide, Behind your mask
You can’t see me, Can’t hear me
When you hide, Behind your mask
A friend becomes, A stranger
When you hide, Behind your mask
Hide behind your mask.
Like a flower, That blooms in spring
Then summer sun, With goodness brings
Autumn nights, With leaden skies
Gives way to winter, And the flower dies.
I can’t touch you, Can’t reach you
When you hide, Behind your mask
You can’t see me, Can’t hear me
When you hide, Behind your mask
A friend becomes, A stranger
When you hide, Behind your mask
Hide behind your mask.
Paul Valentine 16 Mar 06
