I have been working with a few friends to set up on-line jamming from separate locations. I will go into this a bit later for anyone interested. I did spend some time on-line with a program for live sessions. During my testing I had a bit of a wait time so I noodled around on my guitar. While waiting I used a record feature in the program and captured a few segments of my noodling that I liked. It required a name in order to save and in the mood I was in I called it Not Now.
As you know I am not good with names – of any kind – and my song titles usually show that weakness. So now that I had a name for the music pieces, I had to write lyrics sooner or later and was stuck with Not Now as the title!
I finished the basic music tracks in a couple days. Listening to the arrangement I got out my writing tools and came up with the following lyrics. I will smooth out the music and post sooner or later. Here is “Not Now”:
I really can’t wait For you and this weekend. Seems like forever Since we had a minute alone. No more than a boy Paralyzed in an ice cream store. Or that time I cried….. Until we had to leave the zoo. Not Now. I’ve heard it all my life. Not Now. Don’t want to hear it again. Not Now. It can’t be now, it won’t be then Not Now. So many situations I can’t come close to understand. More and more people Have nothing else to say to me. Not Now. I’ve heard it all my life. Not Now. Don’t want to hear it again. Not Now. It can’t be now, it won’t be then Not Now. Still I don’t complain. Everything I have I can give away. Hello Tell me your name. You make me smile Hope I can do the same. Ask I do it all day. It really doesn’t matter Or what time of day. Still I don’t complain. Everything I have I can give away.
