Optic Trance

Every time you dance for me

Spectral Bliss

Every time we kiss

  

Cosmic heat

Feel the naked beat

Spoken Dream

Free the spirit

Make me scream

  

Living, Feeling

Moving, Slowly

Writhing, Sliding

Raving Madly

  

Optic Trance

Every time I dance for you

Spectral Bliss

Every time we kiss

  

Cosmic heat

Feel the naked beat

Spoken Dream

Free My spirit

Make me scream

  

Living, Feeling

Moving, Slowly

Writhing, Sliding

Raving Madly

Ahhh

  

Instrumental

  

Living, Feeling

Moving, Slowly

Writhing, Sliding

Raving Madly Now

  

I'm Flying I'm Crying

I'm Learning Slowly

I'm Hoping I'm Dreaming

I'm Raving Madly

  

I'm Wishing, I'm Screaming

I'm Living, Slowly

I'm Fighting, I'm Loosing

Behaving Badly

  

Ahhh.........................

Every time I Dance for you

Every time I Dance for you

Every time you dance for me

Every time I Dance for you

  

Every time, Every time

Every time you Dance all over me

Every time you Dance all over me

Every time you Dance all over me

Dance All, Over

......Me......

    

     

The Story of 'Optic Trance'

a trance of the optic variety

This song is all about 'The Riff & The Groove'

It sprang forth from a jam me and Cliff (Coates) were having during one of our usual Friday night songwriting/music sessions in his spare bedroom xD. I was very much into this kind of Em/C/D thing at the time, as you can also hear in You Should Do It Too, which was written in the same year. So I was trying out various riffs and sequences and came up with this nice moody, sensual groove, played to our favourite drum machine pattern of the era, and to which Cliff added an equally groovy bass line

We wrote all the words based on the groovy feeling and it became perfect for our new singer Stella to get her teeth into, as we started 'The Ultimate Shed' phase (the name of our little trio), and she did a great job! It's a pity we didn't have better recording equipment, but we did the best with what we had at the time and for me it's got a certain 90s charm to it, even if the quality isn't great.

More early 1990s Roland Drum Machine and Haley/Coates nostalgia! :D
