This is another song I had just hanging around, so it might as well hang around here!
This was recorded in Jims front room in Leiden again and like all the other songs we did together this is also a 'one take' recording with his little 4-track.
The lyrics.......
Freely
Did I ever tell you?
Of the things I had in mind
Did they ever tell you?
Of the times you left behind
Did she ever try and sell you
Magic so untouchable
Well you gave
Freely
Did you ever realize?
The looking in my eyes
Was it a surprise?
The thunder of our skies
Will it ever dawn?
That times been here all along
Must the fighting go on?
For we are here
Freely
One day I'll stop looking for one day
Any moment now it will be all right
Some time in time to come
It will be done
Some time deep in the night
You will see
You should have loved her
Freely
Could you really love her?
She says, see I love you
Freely
And you gave your hart and soul
Why do I love the things you do to me?
Set me free
Did I ever tell you?
That the world is one
Did you ever realize?
That you don't until it's gone
And the earth keeps on moving
Beneath out very feet
Moving on and on
On and on and on
Freely
The spirit moves in the captivation of your soul
Freely
And you are the very hart of it all
Set me free
Again thanks for the comments, it's always wonderful to know what this little group of critiques think!

Thanks for the reviews guys, I uploaded and went to bed!
Well the lyrics are up there!
The recording, from 15 year old cassette to digital so I'm actually quite pleased with it!
Blue : Killa Guitar ? try http://www.laliya.com/ , James Mcguire a real magician!
"you should your abilities here" ??? I don't understand?

| well.. |
went through the sound bites on the james
mcguire website.. he's fekkin awesome, no
doubt.. but I didn't hear any wailing guitar
leeds anywhere.. some great guitar parts
and stringed parts that I was unable to
identify.. one I think may have been
a balalikia, but couldn't swear to that with
out witnessing it.. cause it could have been
a keyboard sound module part.. but
never the less from what I heard, that
dude and his music is truly fekkin
awesome!!!! and you have another good
point you made, even if you didn't say it
out loud.. that is neither one of us are any
where near that level yet.. you'll be there soon
at this rate.. me, well who knows with an
old lamed up dog... but one can hope...
blessed be,
Blue

Great guitar sound. A little too much delay on the voice. A bit of hiss. Like your voice. Really like how it picks up towards the end. Great for being recorded in such a way.
Hey thank you all so much!
Blueyes : Told you he was good!
A few years after these songs were recorded, Jim, on his travels, picked up on playing the Dulcimer, but as a guitar against his chest as compared to 'on the knees'. The result is indeed magical.
I played this lot of songs for a girlfriend last night and while listening I had a physical 'prang' of longing to sing with a good guitarist again. I haven't done so for years. How easy it would be, he'd play a tune, I'd sing along, where it met in the middle we'd make it a song.

To me the song itself is akin to pink floyd’s later work (minus the crazy keyboarding)
I liked the riffing parts a little better than the chordal parts.
Just listening and had a question:
Do you palm mute three chords ascending (once each)
and then play the second chord (twice rapidly)
then the first chord again?
…
I know you change it up a little everywhere, but I was just trying to get a feel for it.
Astronaut A loots at B and says, “the sky is blue, right?” B says, “Uh yeah…” And A says, “and we’re going up right.” B replies, “Uh yeah,” A says, “Can I ask you one more question?”
B looks over at A and shrugs
A points at a whale jumping out of the water, “Do whales fly?”
B looks at the whale, clearly jumping out of the water and screams “OH, FUCK!”

Dude! Can someone say Led Zeppelin! You could be the next Robert Plant! (a personal idol of mine). We are getting entirely too little material from you, Kings! This is awesome! The tune is instantly classy and diggable. Just really nice, Kings!
I dig the sound--the vocal run 1:25 and from there onwards was where the song picked up. You've got some awesome passion in your voice. The chord progression perfectly compliments your voice.
"the spirit moves in the captivation of your soul" is fantastic.
It's pretty low recording quality and has some major mix problems.
I don't see the Zeppelin connection here as much as I hear the REO Speedwagon. The tone of the guitar and your voice are really reminiscent of something like "Time For Me To Fly".
More, eh?

Minds, avi ..... VERY much appreciated! Thanks a load!
Dark, thanks for the review, I'm really glad you enjoyed it enough to comment, the problem I have is that the questions you pose, I cannot answer, as is stated in this thread , I write and sing , the music / guitar is in this instance composed and played by a friend of mine called Jim!
The joke sounds very much like the beginning of 'Goodbye and thanks for all the fish' !
As songs go, I do remember writing this, Jim on the sofa me on the floor, Jim had an idea and was playing it over and over, within 30 minutes I'd stretched out a lyrical idea of my own and we had a song.
Any guitarists out there want to spend some time on Skype or Yahoo working on a song or two I'd love to hear from you!
