Casual Thing - Emma Whybrow bm

Depth, a cool lick, a big vocal, and a cool dance beat.

Dare is a song about loving someone who is not good for you. Someone who messes with your mind, body and soul, someone who manipulates and is wonderful one minute and calling you a total train wreck the next. The Dare part? Is a dare to leave, a dare to be alone.

Dare is my song journey that has unfolded over 20 years. It was written, recorded in the early 2000’s as a doof doof dance track with that 90’s flair (sigh – think, Kylie Minogue, I Should Be So Lucky – no you can’t have a copy). It was never my favourite tune. But…. 20 years later, Dare has had a major facelift, a total re-write and now that I am a budding producer, I took over the arrangement. This version is the one that not only reflects exactly how I wanted it to sound in the first place – but better. This is the version that resonates with me, and I hope it resonates with you!

Dare

A song about a man who went on a trip, failed to come home for 15 months, then pretended like nothing had happened.

**Restless World**

In this old town the lights are fading slow
I dream of lonesome open roads
In fields once scarred with harvested corn
Now lie rusted trucks where thistle grows
I Leave behind the weight 
Of things I’ve mourned

I’m a fire that won’t expire
I’ll find a way to climb up higher

I’m alive I cried into the night
Black Velvet burning with distant stars
The callous earth rejects my tears
Within me a hope of a dream still grows
I’ll make my way in this restless world

Dusty streets and the memories they hold
Prosperity moved to another town
Every boarded broken window
Where dreams that might have been
As a whisper in the wind, it comes back again
Between the silence and its fury
Buries in memory, another story

I’m a fire that won’t expire
I’ll find a way to climb up higher

I’m alive I cried into the night
Black velvet burning with distant stars
The callous earth drinks my tears
Within me a hope of a dream still grows
I’ll make my way in this restless world

Lonely nights in this dying land
All our lives are rigid and unplanned
The journeys calling and I understand
I must leave my mark, my footprints in the sand

I’m a fire that won’t expire
I’ll find a way to climb up higher

I’m alive I cried into the night
Black velvet burning with distant stars
The callous earth holds my tears
Within me a hope of a dream still grows

Restless World

The song is about deepest darkest secrets that we keep from each other so "Tell me tell me are there secrets that you keep that you never told a soul you don't want anyone to know tell me tell me"

Tell Me

The John Lister Project creates original rock music in the style of classic hard rock and prog rock, with the emphasis on guitars and the Hammond organ.  He performs each instrument, composes, arranges and produces each mastered track, resulting in quality music that is very listenable, geared to the older generation that loved the hard rock era of the seventies.
