Froogy's Groovies - My Best Friend

LYRICS BELOW (click "Show more")
This song started as some stray lines for a poem that became instead a song lyric when I was noodling around on guitar. Recorded this "live" at home with my wife and cat listening (okay, the cat was asleep)--a single take on a stereo track, singing and playing acoustic guitar along with a drum sequencer. Later added the 12-string guitar, lead guitar, and bass tracks.
Guitars are my Taylor 114e (spruce top, walnut body), Seagull Coastline 12-string (cedar top, wild cherry body). Lead guitar is my Guild S-60 (solid mahogany). Thanks to all the trees and their marvelous tone woods for their collaboration!

LYRICS:
As she walks, her legs ring the bell of her skirt--
she comes closer to me.
When she smiles, her eyes light the world so I
     finally wake up and see.

Is this lust or is this desire?
She's such a puzzle to me.
Is this love or is this devotion?
I just want to know if you'll drop everything and...

CHORUS: Go! High into the mountains to
someplace with no return.
Go! Far across the ocean where
we can weather the storm.
Stacy let's go.

All around, cottonwood fluff fills the sky as it falls 
     to the ground.
It's as if the clouds were shedding
     to weave you a glorious gown.

See the trees reach for the stars--
how they dance in the wind in the night.
Feel the breeze play on our skin--but I
just want to know if you'll drop everything and....

CHORUS: Go! High into the mountains to...etc.

Everywhere, spiders are spinning their webs
     by the firefly light.
I go gladly into your arms--
tangled heartstrings wrap us so tight.

Hear the waves crash on the shore--
how they beat like a heart in the night.
Chase the moon through this moth wing June, cause I
just want to know if you'll drop everything and....

CHORUS: Go! High into the mountains to....etc.

As she walks, her legs ring the bell of her skirt--
she comes closer to me.
When she smiles, her eyes light the world so I
     finally wake up and see.

This song is for all my friends in Kazakhstan, where I've been working as a consultant the past few years. I've also met and worked with many amazing Kazakh musicians. This song is played on a dombra or "dombyra" (домбыра), a Kazakh "lute" that is very ancient but still the national instrument of Kazakhstan. Traditionally, during courtship, any Kazakh worth their salt would be expected to compose a love song accompanied by the dombra as an expression of love. This is my take on that tradition, the lyrics incorporating traditional Kazakh imagery.

This was recorded "live" at home--me playing the dombra and singing on a single take of a stereo track (see the video!). I later added an additional dombra track to thicken the rhythms (the percussion is just me knocking on the dombra top). I also added a discrete bass line and the electric guitar--making this, I guess, an "alternative dombra" track.
--The guitar is my '78 Guild S-60
--The dombra is made of birch with a Tien Shan spruce top.

Many thanks to Laura Paluanova and her husband Oscar for helping me select my dombra in Kazakhstan and for Laura's instruction and her wonderful playing!

Here's an example of a beautiful Kazakh song with dombra:

LYRICS:
See the eagle flying through the sky--
that's how my love soars when you're by.
Please don't go away and leave me here.
I'm just so afraid you'll...disappear.

CHORUS: Something 'bout the way you move through the air
just wants to make me stop and stare.
It's the winged horse of love that I ride,
and I want to make you my bride.

Like a snow leopard in the night,
I can sense you when you're out of sight.
I can't seem to get you off my mind.
I just want to be with you...all the time.

CHORUS: Something 'bout the way you move through the air...etc.

In the moonlight I see you clear.
Your eyes' starlight is twice as dear.
Won't you climb up in this saddle now--
fly with me across the mountain's brow?

CHORUS: Something 'bout the way you move through the air...etc
