New Song Number 1 - Update

Well, I've been working on the new song number 1, which is tentatively titles "Loving on the Road". I have written the lyrics for two verses and made a slight change to lyrics in the chorus. This is a song that is not based on personal experience but one of the songs where I get into a character. This will be another of what I'm now calling my "Traveling Musician" series. I'm writing this as a musician that is touring and lamenting being away from the one he loves and the obvious problems this causes. Here is what I have so far in terms of the lyrics.

When I first went out on the road
It was exciting it was fun
Loneliness was not invited in
We were quite the rowdy ones
Out on the road I saw many towns
But it's not new, the thrill is gone

Don't hate me, don't hate me
I was always true
But when it comes to loving on the road
I will still want you

Never saw a pretty face
To match you, they could not match you
Your voice lingers on my mind
You're with me, you're still with me
I don't know how I could go on
Without you, I need you


As you recall from my last post, I had two versions of the bridge and right now I am towards the second version (the one with the Am - F - E - A chord progression). I am working on the melody for that version and getting a better chord progression that will transition back to the verse. I think I like this version because the Am & F chords are in one key and the E & A chords are in another but I like weird chord changes :)

Anyway, I will keep everyone up to date as the song progresses and will try to get a song clip recorded so you can hear the progress so far.

Enjoy,
