But the tour itself was a name I offered to the guys, and was deeply rooted in an idea I had for a song.
Except all my "ideas" are usually two lines that are a little bit catchy, a very rough harmony, and a general idea surrounding the possible structure of the song.
It started as just two line:
"Can anybody hear me?
"This is my six string theory
And in the time between the New Years Eve gathering (which 4/6ths of the tour member spent together) and now, I have been inspired enough to write the song.
Except this song is more of a hommage to the tour itself.
here, for you to enjoy, are the lyrics. You have 2 opportunities to hear it live... Tonight, January 6th at the Kings Head in Buckingham; and January 20th at the Star & Garter in Silsoe...
It was a cold December night
When history was made
And 5 quite handsome guys
Walked through the old arcade
The watershed was rocked
From the ceiling to the floor
This will go down in history
As the tour that no-one saw
When history was made
And 5 quite handsome guys
Walked through the old arcade
The watershed was rocked
From the ceiling to the floor
This will go down in history
As the tour that no-one saw
Can anybody hear me? This is my 6 string theory
This is my beating heart played out on my guitar
For everyone to see
Can anybody hear me? This is my 6 string theory
This my heart and sole played out for the world
And everyone to see
Can anybody hear me? This is my 6 string theory
Not even cranfield was safe
From the glory of the sound
Just go and ask Rick Sky
While he's rolling on the ground
At madcap things looked up
Cos vodka boy can rock
And those parking tickets guys
Well they can go and suck my...
[Chorus]
The seeking salvation tour; another gig that no-one saw
but we'll always remember it...
