Close my eyes
The haze it takes me
To a place of mine
No one here would
Dare awake me
As I’m creating space in time
Everyday for me is a Sun☉ day
Every time an afternoon
All the words are out there drifting
Into my room
Through the window
Chords are calling
Searching for a melody
No song of mine could
Now awake me
From unforgotten memories
Every song for me is a some day
Every thought an afternoon
Every word I write can free me
If I seduce it with a tune
But I won’t sleep until
I find a pen and paper
Ask my guitar to find the notes
And after midnight
Early Friday morning
My song becomes and off she floats
Yeah after midnight
My song becomes
The moment now and off she floats
My song becomes the moment now
My song becomes the moment now
Being in the moment on Koh Samet, Thailand after quitting work :)
I find that when we do the things we came here to do we really do 'live in the moment'
For me that means playing, performing or, as in this case, writing songs
I'd had this tune knockin' around for a while but hadn't got 'round to writing any words until one night my mate Cliff was over for a band sesh. As I remember it, he helped me write the lyrics by asking me what the music conjured up in my mind - dreamy, sunny, summer afternoons etc... Then we knocked some ideas around; I loved his lines about being taken to "a place of mine" and "unforgotten memories". I added the last verse a bit later because I really could not go to bed until I'd written it down!
I love the whole idea about being in the moment when we write songs, or just doing whatever it is that inspires us
I hope you find yourself in your 'Moment Now' too...
