Long Forgotten Dream

New Tag

Help

Q: What are tags?
A: Tags are a way to add consistent notes to songs.

Q: When should I use tags?
A: Tags should be used for "notes" that can apply to multiple songs or performances. A good tag would be "clawhammer", to apply to all songs that Billy plays on his banjo. A bad tag would be "Streaker ran across stage" - since this has only happened once (thank goodness).

Q: Where should I add a tag?
A: A tag that should apply to everytime a song is played, like "solo, acappella" for "And am I Born to Die" should be added on the songs page. This will automatically add the tag every time that song is added to a setlist.

A tag that only applies to certain performances of a song, like "pay Jarrod Walker's fine" lyric change that happens in some versions of "Little Maggie" should be added to that particular version of the song on each setlist.

Q: How do I add a tag?
A: Click the "Manage tags" button either from the songs page or the song editing option on the edit setlist page. Click on a tag from the "Available" tags to add it to the song. Click on a tag from under the song title to remove it from the song. Click the "New Tag" button if the tag you want to add is not under the Available tags list.

First Time Played:

[Verse 1]
Would you listen when the wind decides to whisper English fate?
Will you heed the words within the winds that whisper "it's too late"?
Will you see the reasons falling from the sky?
Or the locusts screaming madly as you turn around and die?
Could you recognize some message to relate

[Verse 2]
Have you felt the atmospheric friction churning up above?
All the traits and the descriptions seem to fit just like a glove
Can you see us scratching backwards through the seams?
Crawling circles on our backs with our dumbfounded expertise
Just the thought of this is riddled with disease

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Can you see her moving slowly to the rhythm of this song?
Would you like to tag along with us? I know it won't be long
Could she lead us back to somewhere you desire?
Could she lead us to the doorway? Would you sit down by the fire?
And would your eyes be sealed with love instead of hate?

[Verse 4]
Can you see the empty chambers of your head begin to spin
Leaving nothing but the cavity for all the living skin?
Would you settle for the empty space within?
Or just kick and scream for something else to carry your thoughts in?
One foot before the other, let's begin

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Have you grown without a doubt or have you always wondered why?
Does this morning rush intrusively to flash your waking eyes
Do you take it in or leave it as it lay?
Would you give a nod to life before returning to the clay?
Could you think about tomorrow like today?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Her eyes are open
She's always hoping
We can turn this old familiar nightmare into a song
The sun keeps burning
The world keeps turning
She's reaching out and teaching love until the doubt is gone

[Outro]
Do you listen for the echo of your long forgotten dream?
You should listen for the echo of your long forgotten dream
