Last month's song wasn't received the way I had hoped. I considered it a political satire. It would more accurately be described as long. This is the song I had intended to put up last month. I wrote it in April but then I got excited about "W." I should have maybe stuck with the song I meant to post and allowed myself time to digest the notion of venturing into politics. Regardless both songs found there way to the audioblog and I like how dated April will sound because it is a "calendar project."
I think this song is a better offering. When I shared it with my friend Russ he said that he liked how lyrically it starts sounding like it will be a downer but the message actually comes through as pretty optimistic. I honestly didn't think about it. I just needed words that fit the meter.
This month is dedicated to Erlinda Boyles Espiritu and her family.

Bigger Things
verse 1:
Natural disaster
Train derailed
Time is moving faster
Then wounds can heal
chorus 1:
It gets hard
To take the long way
It gets hard to see it through
It gets hard to serve the long day
It gets hard, hard for you
verse 2:
I'm frustrated
I've been lost
Designed to be elated
It's a long bridge to cross
chorus 1
chorus 2:
Cause I believe in bigger things
I believe in the truth
But I feel it makes no difference
If it gets hard, hard to prove
Solo
Chorus 2(2x)
Just wanted to comment that in the December 2007 post I said "hope you got a new calendar."
I just got around to buying one and it's May. "Do as I say, not as I do"
You'd think they would at least be @ a discount.
I like this tune. Multiple guitar trakes. Very Zeppelin of you! Also, I just have to say that you are like the only person who comments on your own blog, very adolescent of you!
