POSTCARDS OF CHINA

Postcards of China from Trev Teasdel on Vimeo.

Come to my side, let love be our guide

The hills of Guilin, the Eternal spring.

You bring to mind postcards of china

Misty blue peaks, follow me there.

A sampan on the banks of the Lijang

Cross country from Peking to Shenyang

You bring to mind postcards of China

Misty blue peaks, you take me there.

So hungry to explore

The mysteries behind your door

So hungry to explore

The mysteries outside my door

And the girl who reminds me

Of postcards of China.

Lake Dianchi, the mountains of sunrise

Beauties of heaven I see in your eyes.

You make me think of postcards of china

Misty blue peaks, I’ll follow you there.

And I love you through and through

I love you, you know I do

I love you, you know I do

Cause you remind me of

Postcards of China

1985 Middlesbrough - Music by Steve Gillgallon and Steve Ingledew/Lyrics (not included on the track) by Trev Teasdel

Song story - I left my two musician friends, Steve Gillgallon and Steve Ingledew alone in my house in with my keyboards,synth and portastudio, while i went out for the night. When I came home, i found this track on the portastudio - they had been busy. It sounded oriental to me and I was reading a book on China at the time with some fantastic pictures of the country.I wrote some lyrics for it and called the piece Postcards of China.We never go around to doing another version of it with the vocals but I love it as an instrumental.
