STANLEY CLARKE "OPENING STATEMENT / HE LIVES ON"

[MrMikej413]

I agree. It sounds like "survival."

[MrMikej413]

It's weird. I remember this from when I was a kid because my dad had it. I bought it on vinyl maybe ten years ago or so(I couldn't find it on cd)and the weird thing is I only recognized side one. Side two sounded very unfamiliar to me although still good.

Here's a little trivia..............What does Stanley yell out in the beginning of the song?

[bassplyr1961]

@basssman It always sounded like "Survival!" to me

Play this song along with video footage from Battlestar Galactica and you have a story within itself with Stanley's music...it sounds just that good! The Last Journey of a Warrior shows that Stanley CAN sing. I LOVE THIS ALBUM!

@cheyney79 I don't know why your comment was marked as "spam" you actually made a good point!

@cheyney79 I've been trying to find that tune on here for years. I love his voice on that tune. Even on the backing vocals. I hope someone uploads it.

@cheyney79 Also play this song along with the sci-fi fiction art book titled: Tomorrow and Beyond...

Boy will it take you on a journey...I see me and you both think a like...

What a great, epic song. Stan is a monster composer. Thanks for posting this classic.

@amsedelm

This is similar to how the rock group YES compose allot of their cutz! The only difference in production is that this is the black experience.
