Topic: "Away Away"

This one has a throbbing rhythmic thing to it:

Away AwayJames McCormick, August, 20, 2007


verses whispered with urgency, choruses sung




Intro: . [Am]. . . . [Em]. . . . [F]. . . . [Dm]. .[G]. .


(whispered)


That [Am]laugh of yours still resonates [Em]through these lonely walls


[F]Echoes in a snapshot [Dm]just before the [G]fall


I [Am]kept the windows shut to [Em]hold the time inside


[F]Finally I 'm ready to [Dm]throw them open [G]wide


(sung)


A-[Am]way away [Em]blow the past away


[F]Open the floodgates I'm [Dm]ready for to-[G]day


A-[Am]way away [Em]blow the past away


[F]Open the floodgates I'm [Dm]ready for to-[G]day


(whispered)


The [Am]maybes and the might-have-beens don't [Em]matter to me now


[F]Second guesses, speculations, [Dm]pointless any-[G]how


The [Am]could-have-beens the should-have-beens the [Em]possibilities


[F]Toxic obsessions [Dm]churning ceaseless-[G]ly



(sung)


A-[Am]way away [Em]put the past away


[F]Stop the ugly reruns I'm [Dm]ready for to-[G]day


A-[Am]way away [Em]put the past away


[F]Stop the ugly reruns I'm [Dm]ready for to-[G]day


(whispered)


The [Am]mirror where you gestured [Em]has no memory


[F]Every time I look it's [Dm]showing only [G]me


[Am]Images like rodents [Em]scurry through my nights


[F]Swarming over everything [Dm]running from the [G]light


(sung)


A-[Am]way away [Em]got to get away


[F]Yesterday is over now I'm [Dm]ready for to-[G]day


A-[Am]way away [Em]got to get away


[F]Yesterday is over now I'm [Dm]ready for to-[G]day

Hi james,
Really great. A melody came to me almost straight away. Suited my appegio style of playing nicely.
I like the whispering bit would suit my voice or lack of it.  smile
Well done

Re: "Away Away"

Since I am a reminiscing type of guy I really like this song and can relate to it. I like the melancholy music as well. You did a great job.

James!
I love this in a sad kind of way!   Love the line
"The mirror were you gestured has no Memory!
That to me is  poetic and beautiful! I will never see a mirror again without thinking of that line!
