about

Zoltar tells the future! A song about breaking out of isolation; a dance tune; a love song. Energetic and sexy, driving rock with exotic world music elements. A hopeful, happy emotion for our time created by four musicians and a lyricist collaborating while remote.

I had this title in mind for about a year, making no progress with lyrics or music. Then I asked my author/spouse (DD Glover) to take a shot. She gave me lyrics in 30 minutes. Listen to the words to see where she took this. The music then came to me quickly the next day.

After I did the basic music, I asked Kevin Jones for some lead guitar work. Kevin also suggested improvements to the bridge -- really great!
Then I reached out to singer, Jill DeMarco, for more vocals -- her voice is a great blend with mine.
Then I approached Greg Hendrickson for bass. He came back with bass, drums and additional keyboard parts -- fabulous!

It is wonderful to have such talented friends.
Hope you enjoy.

lyrics

Dancing with Zoltar ©2020 Billy Glover and DD Glover

V1:
Looking through glass
We share our kisses
Reflection, no touch
You grant me wishes

There still is time
We can be free
Come and dance,
Dance with me

CHORUS:
Dancing with Zoltar
Dancing with Zoltar
Dancing with Zoltar
Dance with me

V2:
The sound slowly fades
Our hearts are burning bright
Our fortunes are read
Be with me tonight.

Gone are the winds
The hours cross the sky
The light softly dims
Don’t say goodbye.

<CHORUS>

BRIDGE:
Be with me now No worry no care
Just let down your hair Unplug if you dare
Feel the spark in the air Feel the spark in the air
Feel the spark in the air Feel the spark in the air

BREAK

V3:
There still is time
We can be free
Come and dance,
Dance with me.

<CHORUS>
<CHORUS>
