Hard-driving keyboard rock with piano and organ
PANARCHY is the vehicle for performing the more progressive rock songs written by Scott Gordon. The band was started by Scott Gordon (keyboards/vocals/guitars)
Welcome to PANARCHY - proof positive that the craft of songwriting - intelligent, poignant lyrics, and innovative but sonorous harmony of voices and instruments - is not dead. PANARCHY is for me what UTOPIA was for Todd Rundgren. A real band for the band, in-between my own acoustic solo performing and recording.

Story behind the song
This was my first ever completed song, worked out on our upright piano, but we didn't have a suitable electric piano in those days so I played it on the organ. Nowadays I use both sounds together. It's about the ocean and an attempt to capture the intensity of its crashing waves, along with the spirit of sailing adventure.
Lyrics
MARIN OVERTURE 1985 – Dallas TX I feel a summons in the warm wind I'm sailing for the open sea And as I gaze across the water I hear her calling out to me -The fog is lifting, the wind is shifting -And now I'm headed on my way The morning bears a new beginning The dawn awakens all around I hear a song the ocean's singing Joy and peaceful in its sound -The wind has carried her spirit -The water brimming with life The sea it tosses with a rumbling Rolling waters from so far away in time The gentle rhythm of her waters Echoes like an ancient rhyme -The fog is lifting, the wind is shifting -And now I'm headed on my way Marin Overture - 1985 - Scott Gordon
