Rainy Day Friday
...dream away.
Just finished playing some music with Beki. We've been working on my song Slipping Away for a few weeks now. It's a slow, old school folk-blues number with a little Lindsey Buckingham influence, so I've been playing it on my Turner Model 1-LB geetar. The song is in drop-D and I finger pick it, including the solos.
Lindsey's Model One - mine is like this but red
Here are the lyrics for the first verse and chorus:
She waited for years and years
Like a wolf beyond the flame
Huddle close to the fire
No one dares speak her name
She ran laughing in the spring
(A) circle of flowers in her hair
When autumn came she was gone
Her scent still fills the air
You're slipping away
Like water through my hands, like water through my hands
As you fade and fray
Like a curtain in the wind and the rain's coming in
You're slipping away
It's a sad song that I wrote after the passing of a sweet friend of mine. I like playing it because it makes me sad but in a good way.
Anyway, not much else to say today except that we're rehearsing on Sunday with the full band and we wish everyone a happy weekend despite the rain. Just remember that the rain is good for all the plants and animals and it'll make you feel better.
Peace out.
