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
