Invisible Orchestra (Acoustic version)

about

Written around late 2011 or early 2012 by Ash Wanders and Vita Rinks
- revealed in the chorus lyrics are clues about its writing process.
Opening words were not altered on my part from the brainstorm, one line sounding hard to get and the others indicating hardly. it was 'our song' and she would always request it at shows. it captures our enthusiasm for each other and my hanging out till she would visit at my music studio. i think i wanted to write something that sounded triumphantly nostalgic (admiring some songs of that type e.g. some HooDoo Guru songs) without being fluffy, which we certainly weren't. Thank you wonderful Vita for talented input into a magical co-creation.

lyrics

I love having you around the place (like a tin of paint?)
It aint what you think, I could be gone in a blink
and you'll be singing bye bye bye bye
I won't wait till later, I want you now now now
Im waiting just to see your face
It could be any day now

If this happiness were a third entity
I would bottle it and sell it to the world
I was writing the next line
when you texted me and now i'll never know what it says
If it doesn't come to me soon ill just have to make your text the chorus
instead
it said -
I saw you conducting an Invisable Orchestra as you were
pacing up and down in your room
i thought you must've had a crystal ball or a
camera with a telescopic zoom

In your minds eye you saw the night I should be having
One that would have made Amedeus envious in his grave
with so many machines at my fingertips
so many songs to capture and save
You're me connection to the outside world
the collective unconscious, the spiritual world
when I can't reach into me

..and all i know is, it was Fun in the Sun
and you looked good with nothing on

If you tell me the chorus
I will write you the song
and in time time time time
I'm sure that we will both learn to play along
in time time time time

I love having you around the place
I'm waiting just to see your face
I love having you around the place
I'm waiting just to see your face
I love having you around the place
I'm waiting just to see your face
