This Time Around

My friend Mave always liked this tune. It has countless recorded versions but the song never really came together until now. It is one of those tunes that I never gave up on because I always liked the lyrics. I re-arranged the melody and re-worked the lyrics while in my friend Karen’s apartment in Vancouver between watching episodes of Star Wars one Sunday. I think it’s a nice little tune about internal awakening. Mike and I got this one down pretty quick and I managed to really gain a new perspective on the song. He said that the ‘shaved her hair off’ lyric reminded him of Brittany Spears.

For each verse there is a different situation. In the first I had an idea for soldiers leaving the corporate war. The second became an image of a California pop star, who left the whole thing to dance with the natives. The third verse is about a business man tired of climbing the corporate ladder and realizing that the secret to hapiness is within him. After working in the funeral industry for so many years I have come to realize that no matter how rich, poor, successful or un-successful you were, everybody ends up on the same table. I hope you like it Mave.
