about

A cover of this great tune from 1971's 'A Tab In The Ocean' by the brilliant Nektar. I discovered the album after hearing Iron Maiden's version of King Of Twilight and absolutely loving it. This song is a true prog rock epic... Dynamics. Time changes. Organs and guitars, pixies and wizards. Angst-fuelled crescendo's, haunting melancholic downshifts, despair yet hope.

lyrics

Take a look around yourself
And see what I see
Persecuted eyes, look down on me
I can't take no more
Of what I took before
Help me please I'm falling down
Desolation valley now

Take a look around yourself
And see what I see
Imagination merged with reality
You won't see no more
Like you did before
Watch yourself you're falling down
Desolation valley now

Wind of change
Tide of time
Is it real
Or is it just my mind
Turn the key
Open your door
Don't make believe you've seen this before
