OMG I Said Awesome
 (Carroll) © Ordinary World Publishing , ASCAP

Oh my gawd!  I just said awesome
It tumbled right off of my tongue it did
Like I was a dreamy-eyed  mystified high school kid
My gawd!
That was awesome
But it was nothing like the hellfire Hindenburg
I just neglected to connect with a more suitable word
No it was nothing that would make a fellow faint 
Or cause the kiddies to bawl some 
But I said it was awesome


Oh my gawd! I just said brilliant
Like it was a supernova borealis lightning streak
Comin at ya like a meteor at blinding speed
Well, I don’t know...what it was
But it was brilliant
Einstein or Bernstein might not approve
But I can say what I want so it'll have to do

All these word fads and the fashions ain’t nothing if they ain’t resilient
So I’ll settle for brilliant

Oh we'll talk about a must-see film when when no one’s seen it
And then we'll tell everyone that it’s great but we don't really mean it
If we'd only pause long enough to think twice about it
We might come up with an adjective 
And some dumb lug/ young buck/ dumb cluck would shout it:


My gawd!
That was genius!
Nothin like the work of Michelangelo
But if I said it or you read it then it must be so

That was dope...I mean genius
 Some words are catching on with relative ease
But if I utter irregardless please shoot me in the knees 

Well, There are so many overused words
That I can’t list all of ‘em
The most awesome is awesome 


Oh my gawd!  I just said awesome
It tumbled right of my tongue it did
Like I was an over fried mystified high school kid
My gawd!
That was awesome
But it was nothing like the hellfire Hindenburg
I just neglected to connect with a more suitable word
No it was nothing that would make a fellow faint 
Or cause the kiddies to bawl some 
But I said it was awesome—I thought it was awesome—My gawd I just said it.

Decided to go the ambient route with this one.  All sounds recorded from Dexed, an open source recreation of a Yamaha DxX7.  I used a combination of available patches and homemade sounds.  I'm especially fond of a patch I made for this song that undergoes an ever evolving series of timbral changes as it develops.  You can here the notes fade in during the intro and sustain until the B section, changing and moving the entire time.  It really adds a lot of atmosphere to the tune.

I was in Westminster on the day of the terror attack. Such events remind us how fragile life is. Things can change in a split second. We all have millions of alternate what-might-have-been lives......

Lyrics
I felt the sound
I saw the world turn to dust
Fell to the ground
Scrambling for something to trust

Every moment is a risk
Every moment is a million to one
Every second is a sign
Every second is the start of a new day breathing

Split second sooner everything’s lost
Split second later destiny’s crossed

I saw your smile
Calling to me through the crowd
You caught my eye
Wondered, then turned around

Every moment is a chance
Every moment is a million to one
Every second is a sign
Every second is the start of a new dawn gleaming

Split second sooner you might be mine
Split second later love’s out of time

Every moment is a choice
Every moment is a million to one
Every second is a change
Every second is the start of a new world turning

I take my time
Can’t sell my attention too cheap
Waiting in line
Can’t find the conviction to leap

Every moment is a start
Every moment is a million to one
Every second leaves a mark
Every second is the gasp of a flipside fading

Split second sooner everything’s won
Split second later everything’s gone
Split second bright
Split second black
Split second over
No turning back
