about

Was thinking a lot about a good friend of mine that passed away.
The second verse is about him.
The other 2 verses are about 2 more of my fallen heroes -
Robin Williams and Jimi Hendrix.

The sentiment of the song though, hopefully, is to help comfort anyone who has lost anyone.

lyrics

LEFT OF THE MOON

CH1.
WISH I COULD SEE YOU SOON
I’LL MEET YOU ONE NIGHT JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE MOON
THE PAIN IS THERE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOUR LOVE IS TRUE
WISH I COULD SEE YOU SOON

V1.
NEARLY NINE YEARS TO THE DAY
SINCE YOU MADE IT BACK HOME TO SPACE
A COMMON GROUND I THINK WE’D FIND
IN THAT LAUGHTER LIGHTS UP THE DARK EVERY TIME
CH.
WE’LL LAUGH, JOKE AND CRY, TAKING TURNS TO PLAY THE FOOL

V2.
THIS TOWN’S NOT BEEN THE SAME
WE’RE MISSING NOISE, LOVE AND YOUR FACE
THE ONLY MAN I’VE EVER KNOWN
WHO COULD PUT COKE IN HIS SCOTCH BUT I’D STILL LET IT GO
CH.
WE’LL LOSE THE LID FROM A BOTTLE AND CRANK ZEP 1 AND 2.

V3.
GONE BEFORE I WAS AROUND
BUT I STILL FEEL WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT SOUND
I WAS BULLIED BLIND BUT YOU GAVE ME SIGHT
I’M OLDER NOW BUT I’LL BE A VOODOO CHILD FOR LIFE
CH.
WE’LL SMOKE A LITTLE PURPLE HAZE WHILE WE TALK AND PLAY THE BLUES

I play solo and in roots band Hip Route.
I don't have money to record properly right now so these are all home recorded demos.
