Liner Notes
This is another instance of reading a lyric and a musical idea pops into my head straight away. This is a wonderful lyric by @kahlo2013 and it deserves to have two musical ideas attached to it :)
Liz says: Corey is truly an amazing and lovely collaborator to work with! I love his musical sensibility and sensitivity! This one creates such a perfect vibe with the wonderful instrumentation and his gorgeous vocals! Thanks so much @songwritingzen!
Lyrics
Keep Going, Keep Moving
Chorus no more excuses no more abuses no more ignoring causalities …..
no more defenses no more regressions no more avoiding realities….
Verse 1 up against the clock making up for lost time paying for mistakes made throughout life….
one cannot go back to do over things but can move ahead change what life brings …
Chorus
Verse 2 up against a edge set sights on new goals carve out the best paths that lead to better homes…
journeys can be long with detours and breaks no matter the start lean in all the way…
Chorus
B keep going keep going don’t be afraid…. keep moving keep moving win your own race…
Solo (Ch) Chorus x2
Comments
This is a catchy number! very singable chorus! Its a great lyric to push off as you would expect from Liz! Sounds like its come off an album somewhere!
I started singing on the first chorus. Love the beat, melody and message. The harmonies are great. This song really speaks to me on all levels. Great way for me to start my day!
the music has a determined optimism that makes us believe this person is truly going to stop procrastinating and make their move forward. liz has written a terse lyric that says all that needs to be said and zen puts it into forward motion with some toetapping music and an expressive vocal.
Man I'm such a sucker for that second chord being the same as the first with the bass down a whole step. It's just like the most direct route to straight forward motiony jamming. I freaking love it. It works so well in setting this text too. Nice job to both of yas!
