A song about death, Tried to make a light, bouncy song to go with the dark lyrics.
Story behind the song
This is basically a blues song without the typical blues pattern. Just four tracks, acoustic guitar, piano,bass and drum track. The title came to me while I was writing the music so I built the lyrics around that. Death is usually not something you think about when you're younger but after you turn 50 (like me) it is just more on your mind or maybe I am just weird... or both. :)
Did a little 8 bar piano solo on here, came out pretty good.
Lyrics
I've been trying just to figure it out,
You'd think by now I'd know what it's all about,
My life is not complete, there's still more I can achieve,
I know that time keeps slipping away,
No one knows or can foresee, when we'll take that big sleep,
I know that time keeps slipping away,
Life can make you wanna scream and shout,
Stomp your feet, cry and roar out loud,
But sometimes you gotta just let it all go,
Take a breath, smile and go with the flow,
My life is not complete, there's still more I can achieve,
I know that time keeps slipping away,
No one knows or can foresee, when we'll take that big sleep,
I know that time keeps slipping away,
I have been around here for quite a while,
I try my best to always keep on a smile,
Sometimes things don't turn out like you plan,
But you just do, the best that you can,
My life is not complete, there's still more I can achieve,
I know time keeps slipping away,
No one knows or can foresee, when we'll take that big sleep,
I know time keeps slipping away,
