Forever and a Day

Here's a scratch demo recording I made one night at home.   Complete lyrics are:

When I was a young man
I dove off of cliffs
I drove with the top down
And spent summers adrift

When I was a young man
I walked across glaciers
I climbed up to summits
And jumped out to the sky

Now I’m older and see what life can bring
I’m a reckless man whose done responsible things

I went off to college and got a degree
I took a one night trip to Vegas
To enjoy the warm breeze
I drove from coast to coast 
Without a wink of sleep
I surfed out in the ocean as far as the eye can see

Now I’m older and see what life can bring
I’m a reckless man whose done responsible things

I landed a job and moved out to New York
I married my wife and welcomed the stork
Now we Christmas with my parents
And pay the ConEd bill
When the kids are in bed is when things are mostly still

Now I’m and see what life can bring
I’m a reckless man whose responsible things

Now I work straight the night 
Until the sun comes up
But before my work is done
The kids have grown up
No they are driving with the top down 
And diving off of cliffs
Once I was a young man who spent summer’s adrift

No I’m older and see what life can bring
I’m a reckless man, who’s done responsible things.

I'm a big fan of this tune, especially Jack White's cover.  It's still rough, but we had fun working on it.  (We did 1 take on my iPhone in our living room.) - Erik

Coss Marte disrupted his own prison sentence by developing a fitness program behind bars. He dropped 70 pounds in six months with no equipment. Fellow prisoners soon became his clients. After he was released from prison for dealing drugs, he used the hustle his mom instilled in him and a mentorship with Defy Ventures to turn his training program into a small business. Marte is the founder of ConBody, a gym that hires formerly incarcerated people that sits on the same New York street corner where he used to deal.
