about

First part in a 3-part mini-suite about a favorite hiking area of mine. It features a polyrhythm of 5 quarter notes superimposed over 4 bars of 5/16 time. The downbeats match up every 20 16th notes. the Bass and some percussion are playing 5/4 while the electric guitar and other percussion play the 5/16. From one particular overlook along the trail you can see the skyline of Manhattan in the distance. Shortly after September 11 2001, someone posted a flag up there as a makeshift memorial.

lyrics

taking it in
leaving the road
crossing the bridge
cut to the right

will it be there
finding the blue
listening up
climb to the top

losing a hat
admiring
gazing across
with heavy breath

touching the stone
remember when
posting a flag
a solemn thought

break in the clouds
still standing time
turning to leave
a second look

time to descend
cut to the left
crossing the bridge
joining the road

it will be there
follow the blue
hearing the call
never forget

it will be there
follow the blue
hearing the call
never forget
