A World Away

You shine like an evening star
I heard that you're doing better
Still, you're a world away
So I watch you from afar
I know I will reach you on some fortunate day
Still, you're a world away
I fly higher than a million mountains
But only in my dreams
So I stare into the dusty air 'til the end of the day
Still, you're a world away
I'm ready to trade orange in for blue
To feel gravity's pull; it's true that I am ready to pay
You're only a world away
I'll fly higher than a million mountains
Eyes fixed upon the queen
I know that we will be together one fortunate day
Still, you're a world away
All of my life, I've heard the stories
And I've looked to the stars
All of my life, I've watched you from Mars
Sitting at the foot of the Olympus Mons
By this time tomorrow, I'll be gone
Pale blue marble with a swirl of white
I'm gonna dream of you tonight!

Icy red, your heart is deep
It's filling in with everything that I packed
You folded them neatly, put 'em in a stack
You take it all, what I push
I just don't know how you deal
When I see red, oh I see red
My heart pumps lead, it's icy red
You're on the path, you're on the path
And I am the obstacle lying in wait
You're on the path, you're on the path
And I am the obstacle trying far too late
Together we'll slink on, striking familiar chords
Let's slam into reverse, evade the challenge words
We made our bed, one side is cold
The roof's blown off, won't you be gone
When I wake, and I see red
Deserved you said, it's icy red
You're on the path, you're on the path
And I am the obstacle still lying in wait
We could have played on, striking familiar chords
Slamming in reverse, evade the challenge words

Curtain opens, spotlights THIS gentleman named Kai Danzberg. He makes Sublime Power Pop. Kai's attention to detail is unmatched. He wears his influences like a badge of honor. This album makes me feel so serene, and I Wanna Stay Home so I can listen to it. All I Want Is Everything he's released. and That Is Why I'm Joining A Fan Club. It's going to be a Brighter Day now.

GET PASSIVE
by Fireproof Sam and the Network Stars
supported by 4 fans who also own “A World Away / Icy Red”
KC Bowman has a whole slew of bands and they are all great. Corner Laughers Agony Aunts Pop 4 Fireproof Sam Rhythm Akimbo Preoccupied Pipers and probably more. Anything by him is worth checking if not owning. A true musical whiz with seemingly infinite hook-filled melodies and killer songs. Start anywhere and this is a good one.
