Here's my dual submission for Open Mic & Songwriter's Challenge. The theme was "Right Place/Right Time." This one seemed easy enough & in that, I really tried to break away from my usual guitar style on this one.
I adopted a quasi-reggae (or even dance music groove), which I don't normally use. At first it came out more as a country vibe. Of course there is also a bunch of classic jaybird stuff in there as well.
As per usual, by no means is this a perfect performance, I screw up a bit, some lyrics/melody and play a wrong chord here and there haha oh but the worst part was....My Guitar being all wonky and needing a set up! It can no longer stay in tune right now!!! Sooooo Frustrating! Once I put the capo on...oh lord.
Hope you enjoy anyway!
Right Place Right Time – Jay Sussman - Jan 4 2018
V:It’s always been on my mind since we first moved
When I left it all behind just to be with you
Still it caught me by surprised when we fell through
Just wanted you
You say it’s only a matter of time till
I finally begin to forgive you
That I just can’t leave us behind cause it’s too soon
It’s still too soon
P:Oh I better leave before it kills me
Get in that car and just drive
We may not be in the right place
This may not be the right time
C:To say goodbye x3
V:Even though so much time has past
I know that you and I will always have
This push and pull that I can never break
Wish I could break
B:We may not be in the right place
This may not be the right time
But maybe if I leave this place
I can get u out of my mind
And say goodbye
And say goodbye x3
