Road of my soul

David Urwitz - Lycklig

Originally a song I wrote and played back in 2003 with Fuzzy Grubb, this is as far as I can take this one right now...plus, ran out of tracks on the free version of protools. Have about 100 other songs I want to get done before I come back and start working on the final version with the bridge, outro, additional layers, and noodles...thank you.  

Vs1a
We go up and down these city streets
And this hustle’s got the best of me
Every day it’s the same old thing
Take me home and leave me be

Vs1b
My nerves relax, midsummer night
Roll down the window and take a drive
Cool summer breeze is washing over me
So long since I’ve felt this alive

Pre-chorus
Hot Summer days won’t drag me down
Hot Summer nights and I’m heading out
I’ll be by to pick you up
Two damn days just ain’t enough

chorus
Oh Blue, where are you, where have you been
Oh Blue, five more day, and I’m free again

Vs2a
All this buzz up in my brain
All that noise can drive a man insane
Everyone trying to play the king
In the end it don’t mean a thing

Vs2b
Ice cold beer and a fire light
Sun coming up and I feel all right
Doing all I can just to breathe it in
It’s all I needed to begin again

Pre-chorus
Hot Summer days won’t drag me down
Hot Summer nights and I’m heading out
I’ll be by to pick you up
Two damn days just ain’t enough

chorus
Oh Blue, where are you, where have you been
Oh Blue, five more day, and I’m free again.

Blue (Short Version)

Martha (1976-2013)

Written in 2003, this song is for Martha Carol.  Martha lost her mother while we were in 5th grade.  We attended Orchard Street School in Fox River Grove.  At the time, the school would host a monthly dance for the Junior High kids.  6th grade came and Martha agreed to be my first girlfriend.  Ten months after her Mom passed, Martha was my date to the Halloween dance.  She arrived with her face painted in a black and white yin & yang, but like a clown, with the white side smiling and the black side frowning.  We all knew the moment we saw her what she trying to convey with her costume; It was a beautifully sad expression of everything she was going through.  She was at the dance but somewhere else entirely that night.  We sat quietly until the inevitable moment when a song came on that ripped the tears from her eyes.  She stood, turned, and ran screaming out of the school.  A few of us chased after and I got to her first.  There she was, standing at the top of a hill, just staring up at the streetlight, enveloped in its glow, and spinning in small circles.  For all the years I knew her after that time she was just never the same.  Martha is gone now, passed a few years back from an illness, but I’ll always have her and that moment in my heart.        

Verse 1
She’s circling the streetlight
Says she sneaks out every night
And that she stares at the stars and cries under moonlight
She says she can’t shake her mind of moments frozen in time
She wants some answers to life and she’ll search herself for nothing more.

Verse 2
She wants to go back in time.
She wants someone else’s life
So she lay on the on floor, oh
And she begs for the pain to subside
She’s just a little girl so lost in this world
Down and out of control, kicked and broken, and she don’t know why.

Verse 3
Says she’d trade it all for better days
God there’s got to be a better way
And she’s so damn scared
But she won’t let it show.
Never again will she be the same
It’s buried to stay, every day is now so alone

Bridge
And then she said.  If you can hear me, can you heal me
If can feel me shaking, can you free me
She says she wished it would rain 
to match this flood of sadness and wash her away
Then a storm rolled in, the clouds as gray as her skin, and when the rain and lightning broke, somehow it gave her hope.

Verse 4
She’s circling the streetlight
Says she sneaks out every night
And that she stares at the stars and prays under moonlight
She wore the face of clown, part smile, part frown
And when the makeup was gone, run free the child down below.
When that storm rolled in, the clouds as gray as her skin, but when the rain and lightning broke, the ghost carried her home.

Martha

Spiral Up FM

I need this body to remember
a hill of wild flowers 
all speckled in ladybugs
must have been only four or five
the pressure of the sunlight 
was still a surprise to me

I need this body to remember
looking up from a sea into storm clouds 
turning olive not so far above
must have been no more than twelve
thought I’d die when lightning 
streaked down from the skies

I need this body that has been 
in a wet spring forest
just to dawdle in the smell of your hair
to have seen a spiderweb airborne
for the netting around our eyes to feel fair

and I need this creaky body
just to sway next to yours now, now
your closeness is the slow poison 
my body can’t do without

those with a body now sway 
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to sway

those with a body now swing
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to swing
to the samba

I need this body that has climbed cherry trees
just to have a funny old laugh with you
a lovers’ quarrel under a leaky roof
some truth like a snake outgrowing its skin

this body has pierced through enough nights now
to have its own little imagination going
and it sometimes catches a story
rising like a choir’s voice over the din

and it still has this urge
to sway next to yours now, now
your touch is the final proof
of a body we can’t do without

those with a body now sway
to the samba rhythm
for bodies that sway

those with a body now swing
to the samba rhythm
for bodies that swing
to the samba

those with a body now swing
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to swing

those with a body now dance
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to dance
while you’ve got one
while you’ve got one
while you’ve got one

those with a body now sway

Written By:  Fuzzy Grubb; Jeremy Brizzi, James Seguin, David Homuth, and Sam Fiorenza.  

Shine

We drove past last night, just to see it shine
Right there for everyone to see and it’s all mine
I felt the soft twist, nerves messing with my mind
Another twenty-four hours and we’ll be under lights

Before tonight, did you know my name?
Shine.  Down on me.

Soft twist turns to nails.  Everything’s sped up.
Some people forget but I can’t figure how.
By the time they draw the curtain, I’ll be ready to play.
Five words live in me – ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE

Before tonight, did you know my name?
Shine.  Down on me.

Sweat displays my ecstasy, every drop like a dream
Living for the hope that you’ll feel the same, that you’ll feel the music in me
I’m alive now, so alive now, step inside and take a ride through my mind.
Take your time, fantasize, step inside, I can feel you shine!

Down on me.
Shine.  Down on me

Did you step inside?  Did you get to unwind?  Did you let it all go and lose yourself in the night?
Did you live the dream?  Did you live it through me?  Did you let it all go?  Did you set yourself free.

Did you get to?  X3 
Shine.  Down on me.

LYRICS

The dry leaves float upon the breeze.
The hidden corners of the trees.
The summer sun that penetrates.
A gloom that holds you all prostrate.

Chorus
Miss out as the championship.
Slips between your fingertips.
Come so close but yet so far.
You had it all but no cigar. 

A glistening pool just out if reach. 
The heat that has the people beat.
The endless March towards your fate.
The white rabbit is running late. 

A stopped clock isnt always wrong.
no matter where that time has gone.
A friend is still the same as then.
The wind that blew will blow again.

A door that you had punched in rage.
Your scattered drawings on the page. 
The honeysuckle wrapped around
A wall you ha built to keep them out. 

You had it all and messed it up.
The judge is throwing you the book.
The lie you tried to propagate
Was not believed at any rate. 

Covering your tracks.
Falling in a trap. 





A Trap (No Cigar)

Everything

This is an old Fuzzy Grubb tune, written in collaboration with Sam Fiorenza, James Seguin, and Dave Homuth.  Not yet completed, we will be adding a proper guitar solo soon.

I met a girl on a Tuesday night
She turned out to be Gemini
Red hair and grey green eyes that could light up a room like a firefly
She turned me on with her devilish smile
Said she might keep me around for a while
Wednesday came and I was half in lust, I didn't even know that I could fall in love
Thursday morning and I hadn't slept, she kissed me once and the other half went
In Friday never looking back, my heart still pounding as the love flows in
Saturday and she said goodbye, no explanation as she walked away

She could have been my Sunday, ended up my Monday

Tuesday morning and I want to die
No womans ever made my cry
I'm burned out like a suicide and all that I can see is that devil's smile
Wednesday morning and I pick up my head but the pains so strong that I lose it again.
Feels like forever with each breathe that I take and in the morning I wake and I feel only pain
Thursday comes and I'm almost alright
Looking forward to this Friday night
A Newcastle sets my mind at ease, Saturday I wake up and my mind is free

She could have been my Sunday, ended up my Monday

She said to me, how's it gonna be
When the time gets here, where you gonna go
When the time comes, are you gonna explode
Are you gonna know when you've got to break it down
You've got to sing the song
and then you break it down
and then she broke me down
and when she broke me down
she really brought me down

Sunday (Fuzzy Grubb - 2003)

This is an old Fuzzy Grubb song, the first one we wrote, and in our first practice.  Feels like home playing this one.  I miss those days, those nights, and the people who filled them.  Hope you enjoy it.  This song is for you all (you know who you are!)

This Night 

Verse 1: 

It just felt right.  It came on the air that night.  My eyes closed and I opened my arms. 

I smiled so wide, that pain brought a tear to my eye, and my dreams danced in the sky with the stars. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Verse 2: 

Surrounded by friends.  Laughs that stirred up the past.  Campfire songs carry us into the night. 

A haze of beer and memories.  I felt something stir deep inside of me. 

One by one we all drifted to sleep. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Bridge: 

I guess things were bound to change.  Familiar faces all faded away.   

Our circle of friends was falling apart.  Tonight we are kids again.  Living for dreams that haven’t died yet.   

This moment is everything and everything was right on this perfect night. 

This Night

It Was Always You
Daughter:  dm, bfm, fM, cM

Verse 1 – finger picked first half, adding in strumming second half for the build
Yeah, I’d have done anything, I did everything for you
But I was lost in a dream, I just couldn’t see the truth 
Emotions are hell, I’d throw a ball in your honor, just to dance with you tonight
But you wouldn’t show, and if I knew insecurity, would I choose to believe it
To see how far we’ve fallen, I just couldn’t let you go

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM (perhaps strings or harmonica, swelling in the space between verse and chorus - electric kicks in – power chords – kick it up even more
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Verse 2
You stood there dancing, in the doorway, just before dawn 
And your sun was rising, inside I was dying, just trying to hang on
Along for the ride, and you needed more, than I could ever offer, I tried harder to control, been a long time coming, and years before I’d see, that the only thing in the way was me

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Bridge: A, bf, F, C,
The skies have darkened, as grey as I feel, I see brighter days coming, maybe just not for me
Take it for what it was, and know that you were loved
I’ll take it for what I know, I just wasn’t enough
SOLO?




Verse 3
I replay you in my mind, from the moment, that we met
Alone on a park bench, by the river, where you sat
And here I sit now, the image etched in my brain, from your first smile, until you walked away
I know life goes on, believe me I’ve tried, still getting burned by this fire inside.


Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one.

It Was Always You

Depression

Verse 1: F#/A > E/A > D/A > C#/A
Numb, how I feel?  So lost within this fog.  Withdrawn, too hard to cope
And time, eats away, at my brain, till I’m just a hollow shell

Pre-Chorus: B > A > G
This weight, this burden I protect
All the voices in my mind, driving me toward suicide

Chorus: B > A > G
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Verse 2
Alone, my fatigue?  When the color in my eyes, gives way to my disguise
These lies, I tell myself, are losing their effect, consumed by my regrets
                                                                                                                                                                                       
Pre-Chorus
This pain, thickens in my veins
This monster in my mind, I’ve nowhere left to hide

Chorus
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Bridge:  em > BM > CM > GM > F#M (4)
A black cloud is following me, it swallows me whole, invades my sleep, only one way it lets me go
Isolate myself from everything, the only pleasure in my life, comes from getting high, the only way I know to get by
< SOLO: B > A > G >

Verse 3
Goodbye.  All the fear, these whispers telling me, only one way to be free
To see, to escape, quick and painless sounds so nice, hand full of pills to say goodbye

Pre-Chorus
This waste, my mother on my mind
Drowning in a river of tears, so ashamed to leave her here

Chorus x2
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

I’ve got to get me out of here 
It’s time to let me go 
Place this noose around my neck
As all these pills go down my throat 
I just take another drink
And I’m drifting off to sleep
It’s time to say goodbye 
Please just let me die
Please let me go

Take Me

Verse 1:
Take me with you, I’ll leave it all behind
Disposable kingdom, I’ll burn it down tonight
There’s nothing left for me, here, without you in my life
Without, you are my life

Pre-Chorus:
Our souls, forever intertwined
You are the only thing that’s real

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Verse 2:
Take me with you, I’ll wait eternity
My paper heart, the holes you’ve ripped in me
I’m lost unto the wind
Forgiveness not forget
Do you ever think of me, am I alone in this illusion

Pre-Chorus
Our souls, continue to unwind
Were you, ever really mine

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Take Me

Here With Me 

Verse 1: Guitar - G > em > C > D | Mando – D > C# minor 7th chord 

What can I do, what can I say, we just want to go out and play 

In the park, in the yard, though our hearts are mighty scarred 

I’m just a boy, you’re just a girl, spinning round on the tilt-a-whirl 

Round and round and round we go, where we’ll land no one knows 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 | G > A 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 2: G > em > C > D 

What can I do, what can I say, I know nothing stays the same 

Under this moon, under these stars, long as we can, and just as far 

I’m just a girl, you’re just a boy, hand in hand, hang on to the joy 

Day by day, the years go by, all this time just to say goodbye. 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Instrumental Bridge: (Stays on G chord framing) G > B > C > B > am (repeat 4x w/ swelling melodic harmonies heavy in reverb) 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 3: G > em > C > D 

What did Dad do, what did Mom say, stay young, be kind, choose love, go play 

It’s a crazy world and that’s okay, the two of you make it a better place 

The day will come when we’ll be gone, side-by-side we know that you’ll be strong 

Don’t let the time pull you away, best friends, you and I, our family stays 

  

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em
