A song with lots of guitar interest. A song with lots of vocal harmonies too. Just for your information. I used my red Yamaha MSG Deluxe guitar. Bass was as usual my Rickenbacker 4003. all played through a Line 6 Pod Go unit.

Story behind the song
I was playing a very pleasing Big chord and it seemed to suggest a song.
I suspect that Lucy was behind this ... she usually is.
This is another of my 'slightly angry' at the state of the world songs.
Windows at night are like dark mirrors.
Lyrics
Looking Through Dark Glass (c) David A Briggs Feb. 20204
Guitar intro and slide guitar solo.
Looking through a dark glass, just how long can this last?
Reflections of a past life, cuts me like a sharp knife.
cut off from reality, we're heading for catastrophe.
cut off from reality, is this now out destiny?
So where do we go to now? I don't know anyhow.
to somewhere, anywhere, living life without a care.
Twangy guitar solo.
Getting close to melt-down, living in this ghost-town.
I don't want to see you cry, or see any darkness cloud your sky.
So where do we go to now? I don't know anyhow.
to somewhere, anywhere, living life without a care.
slide guitar solo.
Let's put time into reverse,
before things here get a whole lot worse.
Time traveller hiding in plain sight,
they blend with the shadows of the night.
So where do we go to now? I don't know anyhow.
to somewhere, anywhere, living life without a care.
Intro reprise ... slide guitar solo.
It's like a Mister Whippy golden cone.
The lights are on but no-one's home.
Flying on my eiderdown,
above the roof-tops of this town.
where do we go
where do we go
fade-out
