OK, Kids.

Put your "thinking caps" on:

This song (from the early 80s) is running thru my head; I sang it to Mark - he has no idea.

The beginning has (what I believe to be) a 12-string acoustic strumming....going down a scale.

Then the bridge has a phrase, with an "echo" effect: something like: "What are we waiting for-for -for ....?"

THEN, later on in the song, the guy sings in a screeching falsetto:

"WHO'S BEHIND THE DOOOOOOOOR???" (or something).



I THINK I know who it is....but not sure....HELP!!

This one?

Zebra - Who's Behind the Door

We sailed away
We walked 2 thousand miles
and then we slipped away
We looked so hard
But couldn't seem to find just what
the world was for
Now we know
Just what the journey's for

Looking out to the stars
Think about what you are
What do they think of you
Animals in their zoo
They haven't got the time
Landing's not on their minds
How do they have the nerve
We're animals in preserve

They watch us all
They're only making sure that we
don't trip and fall
Now they look so hard
But they can't tell us why they're
here and just what for
Because they don't know
Who opened up the door

How can we find out more
Who owns the keyless door
Where does the circle end
Who are the unwatched men
Where do we go from here
Faith is a fading fear
Life is a waiting room
I hope they don't call me soon

How much more do you really
think you know than a flower
does about who's behind the door

Oh well.

What does it mean?
I always loved it...

Is it just me or does he sound like Alvin the Chipmunk on one part (how do they have the nerve, animals in preserve)?

Zebra - Who's Behind the Door

holy moly dave.. good going!!

Ah, one of the best bands ever, IMO. Their last release is amazing. I also gave AR and Mike Leigh a copy of their new live DVD, which is great. Randy Jackson's voice has not changed one bit. Phenomenal singer and guitarist.

Their lyrics are usually pretty deep. Here's another amazing 12-string song for you, Nora. It's on their latest album and it's called "Why?"

"Who's Behind the Door" - Great Song!

Zebra - Great band!

You should have seen them when they played the local bars in long island Tueys in stony Brook, The mad hatter,No one could touch them in Long island at that time, shame they stopped recording for so many years. I'm sure we have missed out on several cds worth of material that got shelved.
