What Goes Up? ... Pyramid Expanded

Postby Can'tTakeItWithYou » Mon Apr 06, 2009 12:26 am

Hello, my name is Carlos, I'm from Brasil. Sorry my 'english', is hard to me to writes in english...verbs, words, et....
Well, I'm a big fan of Eric & Alan a long long time and I buyed all 10 expanded albums (I have Freudiana too).
My favorite album is 'Pyramid' and my doubts are about 'What Goes Up', the vocals. I was reading the informations on expanded CD and it seams to me that there are something wrong about 'What Goes Up' credits...David Paton is the vocal, alright but...I think that just in the verses:

What goes up, must come down
What must rise, must fall
And what goes on in your life
Is writing on the wall
.........
What goes up, must come down
What must stand alone?
And what goes on, in your mind
Is turning into stone
...........
Solos

How can you be so sure?
How do you know what the earth will endure?
How can you be so sure
That the wonders you've made in you life
Will be seen
By the millions who'll follow to visit the site
Of your dream?

What goes up, must come down
What goes round, must come round
What's been lost, must be found

Ok, but, my question is who sings the follow verses, the refrain in fact:

If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all
If all things must pass
Even a miracle won't last

If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all
If all things must pass
Even a pyramid won't last


Not can be David Paton in that verses...impossible, I think, very diferent voice (!!) ... so, is Colin Blunstone singing?? The voice is a little similar with Eric's voice but I know that he sings just in the 4º album ('Friendly Card'). So, Colin Blunstone sings the refrain or some other musician? :?:

Thanxxxx

Carlos

Dear Carlos

Thanks for your e-mail. Very well spotted re the sleeve note credits. That was one that must have slipped through the net. You are absolutely right. The idea on Pyramid was that all the lead singers would have a guest appearance on other tracks on the album. So for example Colin Blunstone who sings lead on 'The Eagle Will Rise' makes a short appearance on "Shadow Of a Lonely Man' and Dean Ford who sings lead on 'Can't Take It With You' sing the lines you mentioned on 'What Goes Up'.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Kindest regards

Thank you very much for answer!
Well, what a big surprise, so Dean Ford sings that part in ‘What Goes Up’…and always I was thinking Colin Blunstone…
Anyway, thank you for the correct information!
