MyVirtualBand.com was a website that began in late 2004 and closed in early 2007. On the site, musicians collaborated to create songs by uploading and downloading audio tracks. All the audio tracks on the site were released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license, which means that you can do pretty much what you want with the audio as long as you give credit to those who created it. There were 113 “featured songs” on the site, and a much greater number of songs “in progress”. Even though the site has shut down, the music from the site is still under the same license – which allows the songs to be re-released here in The Overnightscape Underground!

Lyrics:

I’ve walked 150 miles walking day and night
Every footstep closer my goal is right at home for me

The war has taken its toll on my soul
‘Cause each mile I make I feel a little older

I feel the heat comin’ down on me
And I feel my feet givin’ out on me
I left those battlefields for my home
I just got to get back home

Alright

It sure was bloody down in New Orleans
A few were lucky but most didn’t make it
And all the blood that flowed out in those streets
And all the memories will haunt my dreams back home

I’ve walked 150 miles walking day and night
Every footstep closer my goal is right at home for me

The war has taken its toll on my soul
‘Cause each mile I make I feel a little older

I feel the heat comin’ down on me
And I feel my feet goin’ out on me
I left those battlefields for my home
I just got to get back home
