Feel good cheese with a tip of the hat to Brian May
easy listening melodic guitar instrumentals, heavily influenced by the Vai / Satriani era
Just a bit of fun trying out my Guitar tracks recording software.
Story behind the song
When I was in a band called 'Full Salmon' we used to get together of an evening, cook up a chilli crack open some beers and jam the night away. Some of the jams made it into our set. This is a re hash of one of those songs. It's about being too scared to take the plunge, have a go, or ask her out etc., just because you might be afraid of failing. If you don't even try the you failed already. So I gave it a happy ending to encourage me not to be so negative all the time. PS it's an instrumental because I can't sing and I don't have a singer to do the honours. Some of the melody is slightly different to the Full Salmon vesion but it's as close as I can remember (It's been over 10 years now).
Lyrics
1st verse
Pass the time of our lives, as if it were sand
what we hold is so real, only dodge fates hand
(I don't know how you feel)
When we meet it's covert love, like we couldn't see
ask you to show your hand, but you live in safety
(I don't know how you feel)
Chorus
Take me home and realise me
let me live let my love be free
make your choice oh can't you see
cut me loose . . . .
(from the devil and the deep blue sea)
2 verse
When I chance with your gaze, my thoughts laid bare
I have to talk with an excuse, and no reason to care
(You and I should be together)
Now I sleep so peacfully, I've opened my dreams
a leap of faith to walk in the sun, now I fly freely,
(you and I got to be together)
Chorus
Solo
Chorus x 2
