"Something More"-Original

[Johnbee]

Something more and something new.  Hope you enjoy!
  John B

Someday you'll understand.
Then you'll find a way
to build your empire
Trade it on a good day
Your servants will be singing praises to your name
but how soon it falls apart just the same

Wake up and realize it's not your call
You're much too weak, my friend
so you're bound to fall
The universe is waiting
Can you make a change?
You'll lose a battle but win the war and something more

Try to see the light. There may not be time
Learn it all but do not fall
No one's there to catch you
Change your priorities
There's much more urgent tasks
Useless concerns taking up your day
Leave them all. There's a better way.

you have been musically busy lately and I like it alot!  first off...deep and interesting lyrics.
and the wonderfully great JB music and vocals....the music seems to defy the difficulty of the lyrical task, as in it makes my soul dance! 
what is that at 3:14?  a angel or fairy yelp .... wow...cool

[Johnbee]

Thanks so much Steve & Darren!
Steve, @ 3:14 that is a string fall in a delay.  They used to use falls a lot in disco music in the 70s.  Think Chic.

First thing that struck me was that great bass line. Did you play the bass or it that software bass... either way it's a great melody. The way you weave your vocal around those chords is brilliant. It seems sometimes to me anyway like - how the hell is this phrase gonna resolve itself - and then, bingo... it does. everytime. Great stuff John.
