"Step Away" a Hook original

[Hook]

Been sitting on the lyrics for little while, wrote the music and recorded it yesterday in the car. Still having battery issues so I used my MBR, trumpet is thumbjam of course.
1 uke/vocal (stereo)
1 trumpet (TJ)

Step Away

written & performed by Hook

I think i need to spend a little time.
In a different state of mind
One that's clear and clean and bright
One thats full of insight

Not cluttered by the smoke & haze
of things I choose and things I crave

So many different voices
that it's always hard to find
one that you can trust
to lead you when you're blind

Not cluttered by the smoke & haze
of things I choose and things I crave

To step away to step away
nothing last forever
but perhaps just a day
or two might be enough
to make a change
maybe change is just one
step away


Blind I always seem to be
but that is not the case
I blind myself with ego and fear
and mental mace

Hey Brother, this track is a little avant guard, and yet I can hear this produced as an Elvis Costello style track. The lyrics are fantastic, you quite frequently come up with corkers, this is the one that got me ....

"I blind myself with ego and fear
and mental mace"

flippin' heck that is a line and a half - quite brilliant. So much said in such a short sentence!

I envy your quality output along with your prolific nature. This one immediately drew me in. The arrangement forces you to focus on the vocals/lyrics...and excellent lyrics they are.

Back to the woodshed.
