I'm riding my train of thoughts
to the end of these lines
or until it derails
either way I'll be fine
I've ridden trains of thoughts before
each time I sang the Blues
with no conductor yet still I engineered
music to turn souls loose
but when I look back on my travels
across so many of my tracks
some often scream out nothing special
below hit tunes but still not hacks
the music I sing is so damn good
composite played by Inbar Tatra
who hails from Chilly Shores of Norway
when he's done playing tunes he's taught you
just how it sounds when skills are stellar
his mind's an endless sound machine
I'm just a vocalist, his sidekick
penning lyrics to all of his dreams
We both are seeking something better
than nothing special in
every new song that we write
and when we fail it's works in progress
each sweet creation brings delight
making music is like making love
you've got to sit and woo your Muse
until she stimulates your hunger
to feed the world what they can use
to get them all off of their asses
and dancing around their living rooms
inspiration can't be taught in classes
you have to struggle through each tune
and make the world believe in you
But you are up against such massive odds
20 billion out there claim to be
the next superstar who will go far
and share their name in history
I wish them all well in their journeys
across the many tracks they lay
riding their trains of thought to stardom
or derailing along the way
but boy when you find
just the right amount of notes
and blend them with chords into songs
that set the audience to leaping
then at long last you will belong
And if you never do much more than
a form of mental masturbation
at least you're having fun and when
it's said and done
you'll turn and start a new creation
so ingvar and I wish you all the best
in your pursuit to stake your claims
but let me leave you with some warning words
fame is a cold bitch but she's not to blame
you've got to slave to earn your name
you've got to perfect everything you do
and then improve it one more time
so that when I hear just exactly what you wrote
I want to claim your work as mine
and all the crowds will find it so divine
then you'll be on that super gravy train
and leave all posers far behind
don't rush it being good takes time
and I hope as you set and listen to
this latest tune that is now almost through
be kind enough to leave a comment please
about our latest songs of blues
and if your critique is a wee bit harsh
we'll learn from you and pay our dues
what the hell else is there for us to do
music is our life to which we remain true
music is our life to which we remain true
whether it's Rock N- Roll or folk or country
or just singing them blues
or just singing them blues
just singing the blues
far more than nothing special
is where we want to go
why don't you come along with us....?
