Looking Forward

Robert James

This was the first idea I worked on this year. 5/4 time, as usual. Lyrics were made up on the spot and I don’t think they mean anything. Guitars are all Les Paul. Rhythm through a Vox MV50 and lead through a Fender Bassbreaker. I don’t hate this one, but I’m not sure how much I like it. As with most first-songs-of-February, I was feeling kind of ambitious when I started this one and it didn’t get anywhere near what I originally had in mind.

Where did the time go
I don’t want to forget
When will the change show
I am not ready yet

Can you direct me
to the destination
Something I need to see
Our liberation

give me
a chance to see
what’s up ahead
give me
a chance to be
before I forget
