MID-WEEK MELODY?
So some weeks ago this blog featured the “chorus” for this song and as songs sometimes do the rest of the song took some time to come around. Then once the other words melted their way into something the chord progression Ifell apart so some experimenting was called for.
Next there was a thought about making this a piano song and for a heartbeat is was...and then nope...back to the six string version. So now for the seeking peace and joy part....
Sometimes seeking peace and joy means exercising some flexibility and considering meanings outside the trapezoid— no “outside the box” assumes too little change...
So this set of lyrics speaks about some things that seeking peace and joy might include and while the song isn’t “finished” it’s time to set it free for the public.
Here are the lyrics ... click the Play arrow below to hear the tune....
Coming. Later this week—The Monster Truck meets the Mystery of Peace and Joy &
The Legacy of Snake Alley...it’s not what you may Think
Dare to Fly (the resilience Song) Lyrics by Jim Whalen
V1
You’ve got to have adventures before your story’s told
Learn to play old maid before you grow too old
Learn to play Gin Rummy with or without Gin
You may not know where this winds up but you know where to begin
Pre-chorus
Right Here Right. Now
Right Her Right Now
Chorus
If you can learn. To laugh with a tear drop in your eye
Learn how to admit what most folks would deny
Learn to love and forgive without knowing why
Then you can fall from Grace
And Still Dare to Fly..still dare to fly
V2 Know there will be waiting at places on the way
Understand that patience is a price we all must pay
When it’s time to stand up and give the wheel a spin
You can’t know where this winds up but you know where to begin
Pre- Chorus
Chorus
V3
If you reach for the ceiling that others just don’t see
And you keep believing in the best we all can be
If you can stumble often and get up once again
You won’t know how this ends up, but you’ll know where. To begin
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Chorus.
Great post. I can't wait to read about the legacy of Snake Alley. Listening to the song version now. Is this song the first time you put something on YouTube?
