Story Behind the Song
This is a merging of ideas from a song that Andy and Jessie had already written. Andy just came by the studio and laid down the piano in midi and a scratch vocal track. After several months of laying on my hard drive dormant, I just got busy one day and created the rest of the piece around his piano part.
They do this song completely different together, but I thought you might like to hear it. Lyrics are shakey.
Lyrics
Compassion for a Longer Day
Christopher George, Andy Mounger - lyrics
Andy Mounger, Jessie Mckaymey - music
Christopher George - guitar arrangement, drum programing and final mix/mastering
-chorus (Chris)
Looks like a new beginning is about to end
Nothing's gonna stop it all from happening
Looks like you'd better change it now
Time's still left,
And I hope that you can find your way
I cannot be here now
Time's still left,
And nothing's going to save you
Nothing ever works to save yourself.
-verse (Andy)
And if there is some compassion, come by and have a seat
There is no one waiting to belong and to be free.
-chorus (Chris & Andy)
Looks like a new beginning is about to end
Nothing's gonna stop it all from happening
There ought to be some answers now
Time's still left,
And I hope that you can find your way
I cannot be here now
Time's still left,
As I lay, those tiny answers to the flow.
-chorus (Chris & Andy)
Looks like a new beginning is about to end
Nothing's gonna stop it all from happening
There ought to be some answers now
Time's still left,
And I hope that you can find your way
I cannot be here now
Time's still left,
As I lay, those answers right before your eyes.
