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
This is a song 'Inspired' by Alice in Wonderland, The Beatles and all the great 'psychedelic' songs from the glorious 'trippy' mid to late 1960's. Maybe you'll find this a particulally British psychedelic experience, with it's emphasis on 'Whimsey'. ?
Lyrics
Down the Rabbit hole . . . c David A Briggs 2010 This carpet that I'm sitting on, could take me for a ride, so lets take a 'trip', into the wide blue purple yonder, Looking down on waves, of emotion. Sail the seven seas, to a cave of elaborate dreams, Gemstones and Diamonds shine in the night. The sands are deserted, the dancers have been alerted, they've run-out to watch the tide coming in. The timer it is ticking, all the sand, it is slipping, right down into the place there below. I don't want to be 'hard-boiled' , or my trip, it could be spoiled. . . . 'A converstion with a white rabbit'. . . . a section of 'Creative writing' . . . c David A Briggs 2010 . . . Narrator . . . "I seem to be going wrong" White Rabbit . . . " You've got to turn to the right, but others I know would say that left is the only way. It just depends on your point of view" " I'd better take the middle way then, just to be safe" and so on . . . High on a mountain-top, I contemplate my place in the universe . . . Mountain Tops (part two) c David A Briggs 2010 There are times when time is standing still. There are times when emptiness can fill. The space between us, spinning like a top. There are times when, we'd like the world to stop . . . Free your body, let your thought fly free, lose your eyes now, then you'll really see. Let the wind blow, softly through your mind, There's a place there, just search and you will find. All lyrics by David A Briggs . . . with thanks of inspiration to George Harrison for part two. with thanks to Lewis Caroll . . . an 'Inspirartion'.

Excuse me? But this here is a groovy trip. Great bass lines, dig that organ and fun production/vocal sculpting.

It reminds me of a modern day Sea Shanty...mainly in the vocals. Crafted beautifully and very interesting listen. Good track David.

Hi David, Well blown away is what comes to my mind. Fantastic in everyway. And it does sound like John on your vocals. A real sound experience. Is that a Sitar ? WOW! This is neat! North of England way you say? And the nod to When the Rain Comes! It really is All too much! Nice work.

Brilliant!! Yes, great point Carlo, historical AND quite profound. A proverbial nod and a wink to the psychedelic gems of the LSD era yet this surges forward into a new place altogether. Groundbreaking creativity, cutting edge arrangements, stellar tone, lucid trippy production, like a dream of EPIC proportions, WILD!!! Who needs drugs, throw em away, just listen to this!! :):D:)

A psychedelic gem to be sure! Almost having flashbacks listening to this, tho I don't remember rabbit holes popping up back in the day.LOL! Exceptional and historically profound.

If someone had told me this was a long lost Beatles song I would have believed them! It's amazing how you have captured the essence of the psychedelic Beatles material and the vocals sound a lot like John Lennon on this one! Brilliant arrangement and styling, love all the different sounds and parts - this is a real gem, a modern-day psychedelic masterpiece. Now why can't I come up with stuff like this, lol?!
