about
I wrote the lyrics to this song while sitting among the opulence of St. Peter's Church in Vienna. I found the words and put them to music in October 2016, and recorded it while Jay Arner & his band crashed at my place downstairs. They had to hear me play it like 20 times; great sports!
lyrics
Stepping Stone
(by Doug Hoyer, SOCAN/BMI)
I’m a stepping stone, watch the world wash by
I’m a stepping stone;
Hello, Goodbye
I lift you up & keep you on your path
Don’t bother looking back
You’re on a quest, your journey has an end
I wish you luck, my old friend
Help you get where you need to go
I’m a stepping stone
I’m a stepping stone, watch the world wash by
I’m a stepping stone;
Hello, Goodbye
The water’s dark, the water’s deep
the current clips along, without sleep
I keep my head just above the stream
so you can walk all over me
and help you get where you need to go
I’m a stepping stone
I’m a stepping stone, watch the world wash by
I’m a stepping stone, hello, goodbye
Alec Harryhausen writes very sharp songs for Dream Version (and he also plays a bit on 'Getting Older'). Check out the song 'Backdrop Painters' Doug Hoyer
Do you like GUITAR!?! If so, you will probably dig this great record. 1/3 abstract patchwork, 1/3 solid songwriting, 1/3 a sick band doing what they do Doug Hoyer
A well-crafted, classic-sounding soft rock album with nice vocals, memorable melodies and very good guitar solos from an underrated band. You might like it if you like Fleetwood Mac and other classic bands. Art Fin
