"When the Muses Call"Original

[Johnbee]

This song celebrates 9 ladies who, according to myth, we all get our artistic creativity from. So, it's dedicated to Calliope, Clio, Erato, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsicore,Thalia, Urania and especially Euterpe. When they call on you, that's when the creativity flows.

Who else but me would be weird enough to write a song with a funky beat about these 9 gals.  Where do I get such Ideas? 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy. 

Spare yourself the dark of night
Take some time to make it right
There's a road that you must take
Lest your heart begins to break
Reach right out.  Don't be afraid.
Hold your head up high.

Look straight forward to the day
You can't throw your dreams away
Then you'll see all that's meant to be
Find it on your own

Something always slips away but something new is waiting
In the kindness of your heart you're always left in the light.

When the muses call on you
take some pride in what you do
Music speaks from deep inside
Reaches far.  No place to hide
from the treat.  Melody at your feet
Delicious sounds all around.

Something always loses ground but something new takes it over
Nothing's gained to close your mind and less is gained by default

When the muses call on you
there's so much that you can do
Make the best of all they have to give
Write it from your soul.

Nice one, Johnbee, great beat... Alex

[Redler]

A winner again, John! The groove is just brilliant! Everything works fine, special credit to bass - really funky tone!

[Ray Brookes]

I've never even heard of these 9 ladies but this is a lovely funky number and what a great groove! And those chords! Expertly produced/mixed with every instrument in its own space and gotta love that bass. Brilliant stuff, John.

[Hilary]

Lovely John, a good funky song with very meaninful lyrics.

In the kindness of your heart you're always left in the light.

[TPB]

Getting the funk on with nine ladies clever song well done
Tim

[Greeny]

Some very tasty slap on that funk bass. Beautiful composition and arrangement as always. Has a late night Donald Fagen 'Nightfly' feel to it. That breakdown part and its following instrumental sections are phenomenal. Great work!

[Hook]

Nice, funky tune.
Rock on!

[Johnbee]

Hi Groundy, Redler, Ray, Hillary, TPB, Greeny and Hook-Thanks all for taking the time to listen and comment.
