This is the time of year I have to kick myself in the butt to keep going so I wrote this to remind me. I'll record it sometime...maybe this weekend if I get the time.

Some Days By Jeff Gilpin


Feb 4, 2015




[A]Some days are [E]just like all the [D]rest.


[A]Some days my [E]life seems like a [D]mess.


[Bm]Some days I [E]just can't get it [A]right no matter [D]how hard I try


But I still [A]try. [E] [D]




[A]Some days I [E]want to stay in [D]bed.


[A]Some days [E]waking up I [D]dread.


[Bm]Some days I [E]want to stay in[A]side but I still [D]go outside


And face world out[A]side. [E] [D]


[Bm]I’d rather have those [E]days


Where [Bm]everything falls in [E]place


Where no [A]matter what I [E]do I can’t go [D]wrong,


[B]But making it through the days like that


I could [B7]stand on my head with both eyes shut and


It’d still be a [E]breeze…ah but some [E7]days...



[A]Some days my [E]patience is at an [D]end.


[A]Some days I’m [E]never ready to be[D]gin.


[Bm]Some days the [E]clock just goes so [A]slow and the longer [D]the day goes


The clock goes [A]slower. [E] [D]


[Bm]I’d rather have those [E]days


Where [Bm]everything falls in [E]place


Where no [A]matter what I [E]do I can’t go [D]wrong,


[B]But making it through the days like that


I could [B7]stand on my head with both eyes shut.


It’d still be a [E]breeze…ah but some [E7]days...


[A]Some days are [E]just like all the [D]rest.


[A]Some days my [E]life seems like a [D]mess.


[Bm]Some days I [E]just can get it [A]right no matter how [D]hard I try


But I still [A]try. [E] [D]

Re: Some Days

Sums it up perfectly! thats about how it is for me this week, Some Days.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: Some Days

smile Glad you can relate. Just remember that spring is coming and hopefully better days as well.

JEFF   

I like it lot !   Perfect description of many of my days.
However the best line for me is " but I still try" . 

Thanks for the tune. I look forward to a listen.

Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.

Re: Some Days

Great lyrics Jeff but I cant seem to get into the groove with the tune when I played it I will wait to listen to your recording before I try it again to see where I'm going wrong.

Re: Some Days

When you do, jets, would you post a link, please? Do I have to join soundcloud to listen to your song? I like the lyrics very much.

Re: Some Days

Hey Bill - I'll post the link here as soon as it's uploaded to my profile/page and no, you don't need to join soundcloud to hear it. I use soundcloud just because it is really easy to upload a songs so long as you can keep the file size down...and the whole "it's free" part doesn't hurt either.

Re: Some Days

Yep, Some Days. I like it jets.

Re: Some Days

Jeff the song is really good,you are sounding somewhat like John Prine!

Re: Some Days

I love this song because it's a change from what I'm used to hearing about unrequited love, Maw and Paw, Jail, Driving a truck, Gettin' drunk, Women telling a guy to go to hell, Politics...... well you know what I mean, right?

This one is more personal and that's why it gets to me.

I would suggest one more "I still try" at the very end. Just makes it more poignant in my opinion. Otherwise don't change a thing. it's an awesome tune.
