Right Now
Sunday, 26 October 2008

It's an epic adventure! Rob Leach laid down this great backing with tons of twists and turns. I threw everything I had at it. The transitions were a little rough -- I think Rob was making up the rhythm guitar part as he went along. Now, since life's transitions are never smooth, why should songs have perfect transitions in them? In fact I think I am going to be the standard bearer for ragged transitions (LOL!).

It really is more of a few vignettes put together than a single "song".  Anyway, it's done (for now). 

Come join me on this musical adventure ... Right Now!

P.S.  I am a novice at the percussion and keyboard thing.

Sometimes things happen
And you don’t even know why
Some days you can set the world on fire
And other days you just don’t want to try

Oh, Like now……

It’s a story with no ending
It just seems to drag on and on
And you’re left with the feeling
That it could be one big con
(heh, doesn’t it sometimes just feel like that)

Like right now……

So how in the world did you get here?
It seems like one big mystery
You can try and think and think
As if your will could change history
(Don’t sometimes you wish that you could just turn back those hands of time?)

Like now……, like right now………

And the rain came down
Without hardly making a sound
And I thought how beautiful this must seem
To those who still who hold onto their dream

But then the sun peaked through
And I thought of you
With your yellow dress
And your warm caress

I could sure use that
Right now……, right now………

But it was just a momentary respite
All this damage has left me not right
And I look for a noble way out
Like a knight who’s lost one too many a joust

Like now……

But somehow I made it this far
I guess I’ll go take my fool’s stool at the bar
With a dram glass in my hand
I’ll make my glorious last stand

Right now …, I said Right now …

Wow, great sound! Very Hank Williams the 3rd vibe on that too! (I'm not a huge fan of the genra, so I dont have a lot of other examples to draw from) but damn! Sounds great! 
 
I like the transitions too.
