One fine day in the fall We came in from the hall Met in that room, every afternoon That was the time, that was the place And those were the days All too soon, gone on our way Strangers again, strangers after all We were so now… way back when Flash & fashion, all style & action Duke so dashing & a Duchess entrancing Who would have known, who could have guessed That was our last dance Gone too soon, and on our way Strangers again, strangers after all Network signals passing in the wires Yours crossed mine late one night Destiny could not find us here After all these years Beneath the moonlight Under the satellites, under the satellites Time and tide charts its own course Set us adrift on distant shores Just a few words and a glance to the past That’s how I’ll remember, you last …..if anyone should ask Strangers… again Strangers… again Strangers… again Strangers after all Under the satellites Under the satellites Under the satellites

New Rome 03:23
lyrics

The sun was bleeding red, In a broken sky Written on my face, No trace of a lie We all came out to play It was a bleeding bloody day Welcome… to New Rome Now Welcome …to New Rome Now The King was on his throne Sitting all alone Deciding who would live, And choosing who would die While The People with their stones Made their way to Rome What have they done to my home Why must all roads lead to Rome Welcome… to New Rome Now The sound of bleeding strings Plucked by plutocrats Drumbeats in the fields, Hoof-beats from the east Faces raised… t’ward the sky Blood in every eye Welcome… to New Rome Now Welcome ….to New Rome Now Welcome… to New Rome Now New Rome, New Rome New Rome, New Rome

Ya, ya ya ya , ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Did I come on too strong? Did I say something wrong? Did I neglect to let you know That you've knocked me right off of my feet You got me crawlin' on my hands and knees Would it be too uncool if I said to you You're on my mind all the time Feels like you're right inside of me You got me crawlin' on my hands and knees I, I, I, I, just wanna get this right I, I, I, I, just wanna get this right This feels so strong almost makes me weak I want to sing and shout if I can speak So long did I wait, however long that this lasts I'm layin' it all right here at your feet You can know a lot about a man Just by looking into his eyes That's right where you'll see I'm fallin' just a slow as I can I, I, I, I, just wanna get this right I, I, I, I, just wanna get this right Ya, ya ya ya , ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya, ya ya ya , ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya You got me crawlin' on my hands Crawlin' on my hands Crawlin' on my hands and knees

about

The Ormidales from Vancouver Canada - 4-song EP w/video
~ Pretty Numb ~ youtu.be/DI2lCeTwmoQ
Technology connected us, uninvited at times, to the strange year of 2020 while it painted its events into our consciousness. Our lives were lived as close to the previous "normal' as we could manage. New icons emerged and some of the older ones passed on.
~ Strangers After All~ youtu.be/dBN3t2HjVJw
2020 isolated a lot of people and connected them as well. Technology provided us a view on the "now" and a gateway to the past.
~ New Rome ~ youtu.be/WJ8UkQIVucE
2020 saw the changing of the guard in America. As distant voices announced the advance on ancient Rome, New Rome also heard the drumbeats in its streets and fields. Emerging empires and their ways of life inherently rise up out of the ashes.
~ Crawlin' On My Hands And Knees ~ youtu.be/XVJtZUJEeTk
The promise of better days lingers elusively and we recall our first loves. Perhaps it was the rapture and emotion we felt for another person, the passion for Rock & Roll or fast cars, or the excitement we felt taking in our first live sports or musical event. The stadiums, clubs, arenas and theatres may fill again with crowds bursting forth with the message " we made it, we're here, lets have some fun!"

Music and with video created and inspired by life and events in the early 21st Century
