New Song From The DEEP

Hi-   we posted a song entitled THE GIANTS .   I wanted to comment on the remarkable nature of the lyric content.   

During my research on the subject of Ancient America,  I unexpectedly came across numerous references in ancient sources, about a race of Giants that formerly inhabited the land.  The writings of Ixtlitlxochitl (c.1520) are typical of the ancient sources i refer to .

We have posted a new pic to represent the song,, the picture of an archaeological discovery of an Olmec Head. It appears that these were the giants spoken of in the ancient histories.  The size of these men, is consistently reported to have been about 3 times the height and girth of a man today. in other words, about 18 feet tall.

Here's a few of the lyrics,

THE GIANTS

What can this mean

a myth or is it real

is it just an illusion

... 

i turn the page

covered in dust

where the words are written

by Diaz del castillo

of a strange thing they showed him

and the legend that lives on

of a fallen race of giants

who lived and lost it all

------.......... the complete lyrics are in the song link

rock on ---

Shane for The DEEP

Hey people,,  I feel that Beyond the Veil is one of the defining tracks of The DEEP as a band.  Lemmee give ya some history here.  Back when Michael and I first hooked up....... 
let me interupt myself:  this blog entry is a bit lengthy, but it must be said.  so please, remember to skip down below this entry for Nexus Radio blog and others. We don't intentionally want to push the previous blog down so far-

cont-   Back when Michael and I first hooked up to make music as a team,,,  he sent me a track from some of his earlier work that just blew me away. It was the instrumental of this.

In re-adapting the original track into this song version, bothe Michael and I are playing certain rythm guitar parts,,  and in the Guitar leads,, again both of us are trading off here and there. Micheal is a real lead guitar player. I just manage to roll off pre-calculated riffs,, but i havent got the rip roarin speed that Michael does.

I get off big time on us both trading off on various guitar territories, because one of my favourite bands is Queensryche. And when i watch them play, you can't tell who is the lead guitarist and who is the rythm guitarist because both of the guitarists will be in either territory at different times,,, just depending on how the feel and how the cards fall.

The DEEP doesn't play live of course because Michael is in the USA and i'm in England. but at least with tracks like this- i get some satisfaction.

THE DEEP ,, IS ABOUT TO UPLOAD A NEW SONG entitled: THE ICELAND  Some of you have heard it before, however the track has been re-mastered and hopefully I've done it better this time. ,,,

We've uploaded a track entitled; To the edge of the world. 

The original music composition was written and produced by Nick Tutone. Michael and Shane then brought in heavy guitar and vocal and adapted the arrangement into this song. 

The lyric theme was triggered in my mind by the title Nick gave to his original recording; 1492.   The song is written from the perspective of how Christov Columbus might have felt.

the lyrics are linked on the song page
