Lady in Red, Lady in White (8/4 meter ver)
In mid 2008, I recorded this quick, rough take of 'LADY IN RED, LADY IN WHITE', written originally in 3/4 meter, as an 8/4.

Story behind the song
In mid 2008, I recorded this quick, rough take of "LADY IN RED, LADY IN WHITE", written originally in 3/4 meter, as an 8/4.
This was a completely spontaneous recording, because I hadn't quite thought through how I wanted it to sound, or the harmonies, but I kinda LIKE how it turned out in its overall FEEL, despite its obviously rough edges!
Lyrics
LADY IN RED, LADY IN WHITE
Lady in Red, oh, Lady in White,
Radiant Lady in brilliant light!
Lady in White, oh, Lady in Red,
Lady I prayed ye would hear what I said:
Now I'm older, hold her,
Boulder, your head needs a shoulder tonight...
What have you seen, oh, where have you been?
Open your eyes: viridian green!
You're Boulder by day; I'm bolder by night-
Your shades have turned darker; you're shedding the light...
'Cause I (one-two) want to-
(One-two-three) want to free Lady in White...
The Lady does plot, the Lady does plan-
The Maiden's afraid he's a ladies' man!
The Lady does plot, the Lady does plan-
The Lady turns into a sectional fan-
-tasy want. Does he need her?
Writing this song hasn't freed her...
Now I'm older, hold her,
Boulder, your head needs a shoulder tonight...
