By Stan Snow

When I first came up with the idea for this tune I was playing the chord progression on an acoustic guitar. I added bass to it and then realized that it should only be bass and drums on the intro. I remember Carol Kaye, the famous bass player with the Wrecking Crew, talking about how important the opening bass line is for so many songs. It often sets the tone and the groove.

As I started in on the lyrics and melody I was thinking about the adventure we all go through in life as we try to do the best we can, some days better than others. Reminding ourselves about thoughts of encouragement and tenacity. Sometimes we have to fail before we can succeed. We have to choose different doorways and paths as we deal with the unpredictable curve balls that life throws our way. We can go into a tailspin if we want, but ultimately we have to figure out a way to move forward, or we might be lost.

I played a Gibson SJ-200 acoustic guitar, a Fender Precision bass, a Gretsch Duo Jet, a Rickenbacker 12-string electric, a ’60 Les Paul, a Hammond B3 organ by Arturia, a Yamaha U3 upright acoustic piano, and an orchestral string section via Spitfire.

lyrics

Fly until the night is falling
Sail into the morning sun
Turn the unforgiving minute
In to another distance run

All things come to pass
Don’t let it drag you down
Break free, lose your way
(and) Try……to pick yourself up again

Move until your strength is failing
Hold on to the razors edge
Feel like there is no tomorrow
Find a way to raise the dead

All things come to pass
Don’t let it drag you down
Break free, lose your way
(and) Try……to pick yourself up again

All things come to pass
Don’t let it drag you down
Break free, lose your way
(and) Try……to pick yourself up again
