    Story Behind the Song
    "Seems Like Someday" began almost a year ago. I had an interesting chord progression, and the beginning of a melody. I played it for Steve, and he and I wrote the first verse and a chorus, then set the song aside. For some reason we didn't get any further than that at the time, and we wound up moving on to other concerns and not working on this for a year or more.

    Late last year I found my old partial lyric in a notebook and played what we had for Steve, saying, "Hey, do you remember this?" For whatever reason, we found that we were able to move on and find the changes we had not before, and we finished the song in two writing sessions. The bridge is particularly interesting because it is so far away from the rest of the melody, it's basically a song within a song.

    This was recorded at the Hit Kitchen with Jim Furrow engineering, and Jim also added some great additional arrangements. Steve and I sang the verses together on a blend track, then doubled them. We also doubled the choruses and most of the bridge, and then I threw a higher harmony on the last verse and last chorus to differentiate them from the rest of the song. We took a little more time than usual with this song, because we felt that we were onto something really special. We sang this over two sessions, probably four hours total . . . very quick in industry terms, but practically a lifetime in Beggarz Opera time.

    We feel like this is the best recording we have made so far. Thanks for hitting our site, and we hope you enjoy "Seems Like Someday".

    Lyrics
    I heard you're finally getting out
    It's high time you made your move
    This small town has kept you down
    And you've got bigger things to do

    You always said you'd get your turn
    And you dreamed that one day
    You'd live the lessons that you've learned
    And it seems like someday

    Escape the shadow of your doubt
    Leave those worries far behind
    The sun is finally coming out
    The veil has lifted from your mind

    You always said you'd be someone
    And you knew that one day
    You'd have your own place in the sun
    And it seems like someday

    Good things come to those who wait
    Keep believing it's not too late
    The tide is turning around to you
    The faith you've kept has seen you through
    It looks as if your dream is coming true

    REPEAT FIRST VERSE

    You always said you'd be someone
    And today is your day
    You've made your own place in the sun
    And it seems like someday

    Seems like someday is coming soon
