    Last song on "True Companions". Listen to the strange woodwind-sounds in the back of the song. It`s still one of my favourite tunes and it`s in 5/4. MakeAstar Industry Review of "Round And Round" MUSIC: It is a long time since I have heard anyone attempt a rock-pop tune in 5/4 time, let alone succeed at create one as gorgeously hypnotic, dreamy and haunting as this one, very impressive! 9 LYRICS: The words invoke images, provoke thoughts and flow perfectly with the groove and sound of the music while remaining slightly vague or perhaps deliberately ambiguous. I can not find a single fault in this set of lyrics. 8 ARRANGEMENT & PRODUCTION: As a producer I tend to be hypercritical in this department however in this case I can honestly say I would not change a thing. 9 LEAD VOCAL: A rich warm sound and an alluring emotive performance make this one of the best understated vocal performances of any track I have reviewed on Makeastar.com to date. It would be unfair not to mention the harmonies as well in this case, they are a perfect compliment to the lead vocal. 7 MUSICIANSHIP: Every performance is perfectly In the pocket and every harmonic/melodic choice enhances the mood of the track and ads colour and dimension without disregard for the other parts, kudos to all concerned. 10 ORGINALITY: The mood puts me in familiar territory and is reminiscent of a couple of tunes that are timeless for me but that takes nothing away from the originality of this piece, a rare feat, once again well done. 8 MARKETABILITY: I honestly believe this track is highly marketable even though it may be difficult to convince the powers that be to take a chance on a tune that breaks many conventions. One way could be to approach music supervisors or directors of independent films as I am sure the song would be a perfect compliment to an appropriate scene. 7 GENERAL COMMENTS: I am probably stating the obvious by saying that I really enjoyed this track but as a reviewer I often hear things of quality and rate them accordingly even if they are not to my personal taste. In this case I have no hesitation saying that I will come back to this song for my own listening pleasure in future and I am very curious about the rest of your material. Average Score 8.286

    Story Behind the Song
    I always wanted to write some kind of a "hypnotic" song like "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles. "Round And Round" is very close to that floating feeling. I wrote it in 1988 during a trip across the channel-and I tell ya`: Everything was floating!

    Lyrics
    Round and round she flows
    Where it stops nobody knows
    We`re wasting precious time
    Never stop to see the crime
    Out of the corner of my eyes
    I seet he centuries pass me by.

    Round and round
    There`s one thing we should know
    Round and round
    There`s something left to show
    Round and round
    The circle`s always there
    But don`t you ever ask me where.

    So take my burning hand
    Before we`ll reach the end
    The spell we left unheard
    Prayers will be blurred.

    Round and round...

    Round and round she flows
    Where it stops nobody knows
    We´re wasting precious time..

    Where it stops nobody knows...
