Story Behind the Song
Song was written several years ago when I was living and performing in Colorado. Took about an hour to write, about 8 hours to record. I try to get a live feel in my recordings, usually recording the rhythm tracks first to a scratch track. Took about half a dozen takes for the rhythm tracks. The lead guitar and lead vocal, after several rehersals, done in one take... warts and all.
Lyrics
Music's for dancing, music's for romancing.
It's for playing with your friends.
Music's for laughing, music's for loving.
Won't you play your songs again, and again.
When I was younger, I felt the hunger
to play in a rock and roll band.
You can't live on the promise of promises.
People just don't understand
Changes are a long time gone, they're a long time gone.
But when it's all worked out , you just move along
singing a song, come on sing along.
Lead Guitar
La La's
Music's for living, music's for learning.
It will teach you where you have been.
Music's just another way of praying, Lord.
Let me be holy again.
