Transcriber: T. Barefoot
The tracks on A Storm In Heaven don't lend themselves well
to transcription. But maybe that's one reason why I think
this disc so great.
Here are some fragments from Star Sail:
Intro
E---0---
B---2---
G---2--- Chord comes in with a quick volume swell,
D---2--- maybe using an envelope generator
A---0---
E---0---
Riff 1.
(with echo)

"Solo"
These few notes are pure genius. The way the sound evolves
here is just incredible. A semi-hollow body guitar like a
Gibson ES series seems critical for reproducing this.

Lyrics:
Hello it's me, it's me
Calling out "I can't see you!"
Hello it's me crying out, crying out
"Are you there?"
Hello it's me, it's me
I want to touch you
It's me throwing stones from the stars
On your mixed up world
Been circling 'round for 20 years
And in that time I've seen all the fires and all the liars
I've been calling home for 20 years
And in that time I heard the screams rebound to me
While you were making history
I could see the fire
And I'll throw the fire back down
