1
Pray to labor with the Lord,
Pray to pave the way for Him;
Pray to move Him and be moved
From the center to the rim.
2
Pray to labor with the Lord,
Be identified with Him
In His purpose and His aim
Till His blessing floodeth in.
3
Pray to labor with the Lord;
Self-ambition and self-will
We must ever cast away,
All His purpose to fulfill.
4
Pray to labor with the Lord;
Let the Lord initiate
All the plan and all the work;
Then thru us He’ll operate.
5
Pray to labor with the Lord
Till the wheel begins to move;
Pray together with the Lord
Till the Church His pow’r shall prove.

SHAWTY BY DOG Fea.Tay

This song starts in the key of B flat major.  The first rhythm progression is Bb - Cm - Dm - D to Eb.  The last chord, an accidental, quickly slides up to Eb and I think coming right off the Dm helps the Dmaj chord to fit better too.  (The beginning arpeggio is Bb - Cm - Dm - D with no slide up to Eb and it still sounds pretty cool.) The next progression is F7 - Bb - Cm - Gm.  The second time played it ends on Bb (then sliding up to B) instead of Gm.  This slides us into the first key change Bb to B major starting at 0:56.

The progression in B major is B - C#m - D#m - E and you'll notice some synth that kicks in (my keyboard playing the B major scale with several different effects.)  The third play-through of the guitar progression ends on E7 quickly sliding down to Eb7 to help nudge us "back" into the key of G Minor starting at 1:20.  It really does sound flat here, the dissonance is kind of cool though, I think.  So in the new key, I start the lead on G and this helps cement the G Aeolian mode instead of a return to the previous Bb Major (which the ear is more expecting as it’s a “return to home.”)  This new progression is Gm - Eb - Dm - Cm.  It ends the third time through on a Cmaj chord instead of Cm which pulls us into the key of C major at 1:44 and I play the progression C - Dm - Am - C against some more zany sounding synths from my keyboard.

Finally, at 2:08 the final key change is into F major using a C7 chord instead of the final C major in the third play through of C - Dm - Am - C.  This section is interesting though because I use very, very similar progressions to what I used at the beginning of the song:  F - Bb - C(C7) - Gm(Gmaug5) and Bb - Cm - Dm - D to Eb.  This time however, it is firmly in the key of F, not Bb.  I start the lead on F and I stay soloing in the F pentatonic scale the whole time so even though I use almost the same chords it is now F major (of course being a fifth apart they have many of the same chords being used, except the C and the Eb.)  This is an interesting thing though, the lead guitar really does determine the key.

Beyond the Door

MOVE

Quante volte vorresti piangere ma allo stesso tempo spaccare tutto, sfogarti, dimenticare e ricominciare? 
"Volerei" parla di amore, e l'amore si sa, non ha età. Probabilmente lo hanno vissuto tutti sulla propria pelle: a volte può farti rinascere, altre volte distruggerti; e se le cose non vanno bene, è "necessario" andare avanti. 


Testo

Vorrei piangere
Rompere tutto per dimenticare

Vorrei essere
Essere il tempo per dimenticare

E volo e volerei
Volo e volerei con te
Se ci sei

Vorrei perdere
Perdere tutto per ricominciare

Vorrei ridere
Prendermi il tempo per ricominciare
Ricominciare

E volo e volerei
Volo e volerei
Volo e volerei con te
Se ci sei

A.. se ci sei

Io volo e volerei
Volo e volerei

A.. se ci sei

Volerei
