So this week I ended up with 2 songs about right place/right time. What's interesting to me about these songs is that each seems to be giving exactly the opposite advice. One says: "go for it!", the other says: "no way!" It's a bit like the cartoons where somebody has a devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other.
Except I'm not sure which is which 😅
So I'm entering one in the Songwriters' Challenge, and the other in Open Mic. The one featured here is called "In the Right Place". The other, in Open Mic, is called "Tangled". Here is a link: @bennettitalia/open-mic-week-67-tangled-an-original-song-by-bennettitalia
This recording is the first take I did. It's not the tightest rendition, but I liked the rawness of it, so I used it.
Boundless thanks to all those involved in the open mic and songwriters' challenge, I can't thank you guys enough. This is SO much fun!!!
As an aside, if anyone has any opinions on which is the devil and which is the angel, I'd love to hear them!!!
Also: if anyone commenting to this post is a musician submitting entries to Open Mic, please link them for me in your comments? I'd love to hear what you are doing too!
IN THE RIGHT PLACE
You're just you
I'm just me
There's nothing more
Here to see
You're over there
And I'm over here
Just a girl and a boy
Acting awkward and weird
But in the right place
At the right time
We could be so much more than you and I
We could be so much more then the sum of our parts
So much more than just two pieces of a broken heart
In the right place
So what if I like you
More than you know?
What if you like me too?
If it begins to show?
Love can be so inconvenient
But you're too beautiful
And if you look at me like that again
I might forget my self control
But in the right place
At the right time
We could be so much more than you and I
We could be so much more then the sum of our parts
So much more than just two pieces of a broken heart
In the right place
Oh but this isn't the place it isn't the time
To make a move now could ruin lives
Better off leaving well enough alone
And alone is how I feel when I see him in your arms
But You're just you
I'm just me
There's nothing more
Here to see
You're over there
And I'm over here
Just a girl and a boy
Acting awkward and weird
In the right place
At the right time
We could be so much more than you and I
We could be so much more then the sum of our parts
So much more than just two pieces of a broken heart
In the right place
