This track was an online collaboration. The music was written and recorded by Tommy Moonan (Truj). The vocals/lyrics were written and recorded by myself. There is also a guest appearance by Rich Ramsay (iOD!NE) on the second half of the guitar solo.
One man, a few guitars and a keyboard making sweet music.
I am currently playing and recording songs solo although I do also play in a covers act. My songs are mostly in the rock and pop genre's.
Story behind the song
Tommy had an instrumental track entitled 'Dicking About' posted on another site. He placed a thread asking for someone to write and record vocals for the track and I came up with 'On The Road'. This song is about life on the road in a touring rock band. Inspired by the bands I grew up listening to:- Bon Jovi, Kiss, Motley Crue, Skid Row ...
Lyrics
ON THE ROAD
music: Truj (Toomy Moonan)
lyrics: Pidgeman
I’ve been cooped up way too long, my mind is growing numb
Got itching feet from sitting around, need to have some fun
Me and my guitar got some dates to keep, with some crazy nights
I’ll hit the stage before a sea of faces and my name up in lights
So hit the coach get ready to go
Living life is being on the road
Another town, another show
Living life is being on the road
Rolling tarmac keeps my senses alive, just like the blood in my veins
Seeing street lights passing mile after mile, stops me from going insane
Another show is waiting down the line, I hear it calling my name
So keep your day job and your 9 to 5, give me the fortune and fame
So hit the coach get ready to go
Living life is being on the road
Another town, another show
Living life is being on the road
So hit the coach get ready to go
Living life is being on the road
Another town, another show
Living life is being on the road
-1st solo Tommy (Truj)-
-2nd solo Rich (iOD!NE)-
Another show is waiting down the line, I hear it calling my name
So keep your day job and your 9 to 5, give me the fortune and fame
So hit the coach get ready to go
Living life is being on the road
Another town, another show
Living life is being on the road
So hit the coach get ready to go
Living life is being on the road
Another town, another show
Living life is being on the road
Way cool song!!!! The vocals are amazing!! I pretty much like everything about this song. The only issue I have with it is the recording. The guitar starts out great, but when all the instruments come in it gets a little muffled. Pretty darn awesome for a collaboration though!!
