Description:
Recently I was chatting online with fellow MJer and all around good guy Jack Hembly (davisamerica), when he suggested we might collab sometime. I was so STOKED by the prospect that, as soon as I logged off, I picked up my Epiphone and began jamming. This arrangement came to me right “out of the blue,” and within fifteen muniutes or so I had the main guitar part recorded over a steady drum track. I contacted Jack and said I had just the tune for a collab. He was excited and ready to roll, but soon after got the fabulous news that his sister had at last found a kidney donor. Needless to say, he was going to be busy doing other things for awhile. So I decided to contact a few other folks. In the end, Vic Holman and Neil Porter were able to step up to the plate, and I am so glad that they did! Heartfelt thanks guys...You really deliver the goods! The lyrics were written the very next evening during my three ten minute work breaks. This is a simple love song, and an opportunity for us all to lighten up and forget about politics for a few minutes. I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks again Jack for the inspiration! Peace THE PLAYERS: Neil [He’s got blisters on his thumbs] Porter: Bassman extraordinaire. Vic [Wonderfingers] Holman: Tasty guitar slides and licks. Micheal [Cyber-Village Idiot] Wark: Lyrics, music, vocals, rhythm guitars, clapping, assorted weird noises, and mixing. Also arranged drums and percussion [Apple Loops & DoD]. NOTE: The whistles, the tongue roll, and the “YEEEOW!” were obtained from http://www.soundsnap.com Lyrics:
SKIPS A BEATI. I was dreaming I was half a soul, like the myth of androgyny. I was searching over land and sea for the other half of me. 1st Chorus: I can remember when I stood there crying, outside in the pouring rain. I couldn’t tell then where the raindrops ended, or my own teardrops began. II. When I awoke I felt the strangest sadness, down in the depths of my soul. Come what might I knew I’d have to find you if I ever would be whole. 2nd Chorus: Then one day I saw you standing there girl, like some bright epiphany. The loving words that you spoke so softly, made my poor heart skip a beat. III. Our life together’s had it’s ups and downs but your love I do not doubt. I feel as though I finally have some clue to what this life is all about. 3rd Chorus: When it seems the days are growing darker and the light seems to recede; I turn my thoughts to your warm sweet love girl, and my heart it skips a beat.
