Swimming In Tides Of Logic

Swimming in Tides of Logic is a Pink Floyd influenced ballad about resilience and response to hardships, using sea-swimming metaphors.

The cycle of life - each new day a new wave"

Thanks to John Scunziano (Southern Adirondacks USA) for the thoughtful lyrics and to Alice Minguez (Wisconsin, USA) for the well-crafted and tuneful vocal lines. She is some singer, and I am glad to have worked with her.

I put together the instruments and arranged and mixed the song. I tried to put in some Gilmour like guitar fills for this one.

Hope you enjoy listening to the song!

Swimming in Tides of Logic lyrics, by John Scunziano

Welcome young ladies and young gentlemen
Please take off your garments, and let's all jump in
The lesson today just might fill you with strife
We'll swim past the breakers... to learn about life...
Life is like gravity, keeps pulling you down
And even on land, there's a chance you could drown
For none of you truly fear death...
'Till threatened with your final breath...
The cycle of life - each new day a new wave
And for each wave you swim your way thru...
There's another one waiting for you...
Don't weigh yourself down with old burdens today
Depression will build and come wave after wave
In life you must always accept...
You can't waste your time on regrets...
One day a wave will crash over your head
If you don't recover, you soon will be dead
For burdens that weigh on your mind?
Will pull you down time after time?

Outro
Thank you young ladies and young gentlemen
You swam past the breakers and made your "Amen's"
The lesson I hope you have found...
Even though, back on land, you may drown...
If you carry your burdens around...
