Destination Love (Pre-Production)
Two drifters through the unknown. Our map is our imagination... dare the danger zone..."Destination: Love."
Performer/Songwriter
Hey everybody! I'm Jerry Flattum, Performer/Songwriter.
The recordings you are listening to are in Pre-Production, a fancier way of saying "demo." I'm currently working on getting up the financing to re-record and master several recordings in preparation for commercial release.
Nothing drives me nuts more than knowing how these tunes will sound with new arrangements and a top notch mix/master. There's alot of color missing from the current recordings, but most of all guitar and backup vocals. Live drums and new keyboard samples will really bring the arrangement to life too.
Two of the songs feature "hired guns" (session players). Tim Thompson did the guitar and mix on "My Little Girl," a Country/Rock ballad. Thompson is a finger style champion and when he let's loose on uptempo rockers he rivals the best pickers I've ever heard.
Stephen Sea knocked out his own arrangement of "Best Place Around" and topped it off with some amazing guitar work.
Virtual instruments and sampling technology will be heavily used in the new recordings.
Once the recordings are finished, with sufficient financing and backing, I'm planning a global tour with a stage show that includes dancers, acting, stage design, lighting and costuming.
Story behind the song
"Destination: Love" was originally born as the pivotal song in a musical called, "Time Travelers In The Celestial Age." The story has since been turned into a sci-fi action/adventure screenplay and the song took on a life of its own.
However, I haven't ruled out a musical version or a "Las Vegas Review" style show.
The recording is in pre-production, being re-arranged and mastered in preparation for commercial release.
Lyrics
DESTINATION: LOVE
Travelin', to a different time and place.
Searchin', lost in Outerspace.
Movin', the stars are flyin' by so fast.
too high, to see the signposts that we pass.
Ahead it looks like disaster,
a storm of cosmic debris.
Hold on this rocket is shakin',
to our destiny-
DESTINATION: LOVE.
DESTINATION: LOVE.
Travelin', to a different galaxy,
goin', where it's trouble free.
Cruisin', through space beyond the speed of light,
guided, by some strange celestial sight.
We're on this journey together,
two drifters through the unknown.
Our map is our imagination-
dare the danger zone.
DESTINATION: LOVE.
DESTINATION: LOVE.
They say, just beyond the horizon,
lies a world of love they call it paradise.
It's the chance you take,
could get lost in the darkness.
I know we can make it if we try.
Seasons, turn like pages in a book.
Sweet dreams, vanish-time's the crook.
Trapped on, a planet made of ice and stone.
Feeling, the chill of standing all alone.
Hold on we're getting much closer,
love's out there waiting for me.
It's your love that I'm after-
that's my destiny.
DESTINATION: LOVE.
DESTINATION: LOVE.
DESTINATION, (W/ Backup vocals)
DESTINATION,
DESTINATION: LOVE
DESTINATION: LOVE.
DESTINATION: LOVE.
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do,
to find my way back home to you,
DESTINATION,
DESTINATION: LOVE
DESTINATION,
DESTINATION: LOVE
