Something Should Happen

The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it’s really fun to share and to hear what you are all doing too.

this world
is lost to you and me
this world
the sun, the sand, the sound, the sea
a million possibilities

maybe
something should happen
something should happen
maybe
something should happen
something should happen

this way
the moon won’t take us home
this way
the gods will shrug and bow their heads
turn their backs and leave us here all alone

maybe
something should happen
something should happen
maybe
something should happen
something should happen

you know it doesn’t seem right
maybe it’s not what you had bargained for
you know it’s not my kind of mission
maybe it’s just that I had more (for you)

maybe
something should happen
something should happen
maybe
something should happen
something should happen
something should happen

I've enjoyed listening to some tunes tonight and this one is right in my ball-park! Wonderful groove and vocal. And it highlights something i kept noticing. You write or craft wonderful bridge parts, whether they are vocal or not they give that magical lift to a tune. If I find a nice bridge for a tune this year it's down to you!

A perfect ending to the album. Harmonies so nice. I used some Maracas, Guiro, and Clave this year and I wish I could feel a Latin beat like this. I wanted to thank you for you support, you helped me so much the last couple of years. Even if I never make anything else, I will still follow.

Beautiful 10th RPM song. The completion of an album you can be proud of. I love the touch of harmony in the chorus and the transition in the bridge.
