What Will Be... (Vic Holman & Jack Miller)

Description

Retro? A throw-back tune for the oldies and maybe, the newbies. Two and a half, almost, years ago Vic Holman sent me a music track (sans his slide guitar) and said, This sounds like something down your alley..... or some such words. I listened and emailed him back that I was on it and would follow through... Well, here I am, almost two and a half years later - finally, thankfully.

In the interim between 2009 and now, Vic had lost the band file for his original music demo (haven't we all done that?). So, this post is that original demo with his recently added slide guitar and my vocals.

So many of Vic's songs evoke the guitar of George Harrison. Well, in this tune, I do think, that applies. When I received the music file from Vic, I sang to myself... what will be, and titled it such, as the working demo. All Things Must Pass came to mind. So here we are (in MacJam years), a short time later. Vic, has graciously given me the go-ahead to post this on my song page.

A special note... this is the first song post, in over a year and a half, that I have been engaged, musically, in something new from my end. Wow... thanks, Vic.

We hope you enjoy a shade of our inspiration.

Lyrics

Time will tell and tell us well
Light and darkness is the key
Life or death, heaven-hell
What will be, what will be

Everything tries to take you down
Grab your head, spin you all around.

What will be...........

Friend or foe, now who can say
You’re doing well and they’ll agree
Fall out of line and make their day
What will be, oh, what will be

What was up, well, now is down
Inside out, in your ghost town

What will be.....

Tell me now, what should I do?
Won't you show me the way?
The ground I'm on is sinking sand
And there's no more notes to play...

Listen now as wisdom calls
Taste the fruit to know the tree
What seems large is only small, and
What will be, oh. what will be...

Take these words as your command
A light to shine, to understand

What will be....................

Cool and time honored groove. Beatle melody shines here my friends. Sweet playing by all. Vox are supremely tasty and fluidly natural. Guitar slings and the drums fit exquisitely. Means to me the mixmaster here is a meticulous soul. Love the performance all around!

Great stuff...and I
get the George Harrison reference....to me the best Beatle,certainly musically ,but that is probably a contentious point of view.Your bvouice really suits this song as well,it has a slightly retro feel to it ..the sopng not your voice! which all hangs together nicely...D/L

Cheers

Nice to be back...
Hey Neil... when I came back to Vic's demo, I knew I had to see it through. It brought me back into that process of making a song. A good thing. Hopefully, a few more are inside somewhere. With a little help from my friends, I'm sure they'll come forth. Thanks a lot for stopping, really appreciative. And yes, Vic rules the George H. guitar thing, doesn't he?!

	On the road again Nice work. Vic's slide guitar is stellar. Who knows why some of this stuff sits around half-completed and we just can't seem to finish it off … and then one day the pieces all start fitting together? Hopefully, this represents the start of a round of new material from you. Check out my latest song called Love Shack
