Love this track -- cool groove, tasty guitars, very "Smith-esque"....

Looking back to the time you went and stole my braces
Body Attack was our nickname years before they caught us
My anxious arms are brushing up to yours
Oh is this love or something?

If you're a girl you should spread your wings, the world should know it
If you're a girl then your head will be gone in the morning
You don't believe me, you don't remember
That it was love or something

I don't believe that good things come to those who gloat
All that I know is this feeling in my bones

That I control what I control and I know what I know
It spent so many years just buried inside of me
Reawakened by the will of the burning sun
Now I'm riding on a fast wave
And I know what I know, I control what I control
I was dead until I saw your shining face
If I'll make it out alive I'll never know
Cause I'm riding on a fast wave

What do you do when the one you want is two years older?
What do you do when your mom and dad won't let you near them
What do I do? When your brother died I was not enough
What do I do? when the judgment comes and Jesus doesn't come

I don't believe that good things come to those who gloat
All that I know is I'll drink before I go

Cause I control what I control and I know what I know
It spent so many years just buried inside of me
Reawakened by the will of the burning sun
Now I'm riding on a fast wave
And I know what I know, I control what I control
I was dead until I saw your shining face
If I'll make it out alive I'll never know
I'm riding on a fast wave

A piece of trash, a heart attack
And you said I don't believe you
This thing I lack, a monkey on my back
And you said I don't believe you

Am I imagining you?

This is the first track of my latest instrumental guitar album Kuuki Wo Yomu. This Japanese phrase means "reading the air" which I equate to picking up a vibe.

The drums were performed by Logan Bedard. I composed the track and played all other instruments.

This song was based on an improvised Groovatine track from 6 years ago.  If you would like to hear how the song was constructed from cool improvs, you can listen to the original track here at https://soundcloud.com/roysmith/sophie

Swimming In The Same Fire

I've played guitar and bass most of my life, in a wide variety of styles and genres, typically as a session producer and/or musician. During the 80's I worked in Philadelphia as a session musician on albums by Teddy Pendergrass, Patti Labelle, Lou Rawls, Pieces of a Dream, The O'Jays, and the Jones Girls. I've recorded and produced hundreds of projects ranging from demos to a top ten charting song co written with Cynthia Biggs and Dexter Wansel.  I tend to favor harmonically complex music that's underpinned by great grooves, and I often hear the comment that my music is reminscent of Steely Dan.   For the past 20 years, I've focused on helping startup high tech companies and on writing, producing and recording music at Varuna Studio, my 24 track automated home studio.
