Hey folks! here's one that I finished up just last week. I was getting ready to put the old Kalamazoo away when this odd little rhythm thing jumped out. I fired up the studio and tracked it. The next morning I uncased the old Gibson EB3 bass and had some fun with a pretty active bass track....figured that would be it.
Instead, the more I listened while writing lyrics....the more instruments I kept hearing. With nobody around to stop me, electric guitars, piano, organ, strings....even a kick and some congas got tracked. Pretty busy stuff for me.
The lyrics can be seen a couple of ways I guess. Should we be acting like metaphorical angels and handling things better.....or are we really inherently better than this due to some sort of cosmic genetics. Hey...you never know, right?
Anyway...
Race Of Angelshttps://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14063117It's not easy living here
Times being what they are
All this anger and all this fear
Has got me thinking about tomorrow
While I worry about today
CHORUS
That's okay
We'll seize the day
'Cause we are a race of angels
And we'll heal the world along the way
There's a price to pay
But we'll find a way
'Cause we are a race of angels
It's not peaceful living here
Folks being who they are
The answers to their questions are not that clear
And that's got me worrying about tomorrow
While I try to change today
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
CHORUS
In our own way
We'll seize the day
We're a race of angels
And we'll save the world
Along the way
If there's a price to pay
That's okay
'Cause it's the price of change
And we're a race of angels
Yeah
It's okay
It's our day
So let's act like a race of angels
