Redneck Hoo-ha

This blog all started with a simple story. A story about a man in his never-ending quest to save all the kind women of the world. See what it got him? That's right, distracted and writing about, well, anything he can wrap his head around. All content theoretically copyrighted, so send me money.

Closer than Near

-- verse 1 (guitar intro)
I thought I knew the rules before
And in my face the years to show
But The lines I've earned have never seen the light
Maybe I could have let it roll
But once too oft had bared the soul
And every time mistaken what was right

-- verse 2 (intro drums, keyboard)
Take the turn I take the right
Past the hill to the other side
Was it worth the trouble on the road?
Do any find the perfect answers
Any time for wasted chances
Searching for what you thought you'd never know

-- chorus
Must I see
What I have become
Will I be able
To make it undone
What's this place
How did I get here
Where can I go
Closer than near

-- verse 3
I saw the signs upon the wall
I thought I understood the call
But it seems I've heard again the number wrong
Or maybe I am the fool indeed
For taking time not taking heed
The warnings played again again in song

-- chorus
Must I see
What I have become
Will I be able
To make it undone
What's this place
How did I get here
Where can I go
Closer than near

-- (keyboard improv/jam)

-- bridge
Can you hear me calling?

Can you see my face?
Can you catch me falling?
Can you feel the taste?

chorus x2

-- (outtro via piano)

robin - sometimes. At least, I TRY to be one. Also do short films/video edit and write. If I get down that way to visit the NY Fam, we can do lunch. I'll have my people call your people..

hs - working on the music in my head - will try to get it done before the saturday gig... or maybe even try it tonight. My first recorded CD will be all my screwed up songs though...

p - thanks!
