Paramour

Beyond Tomorrow

The temptation to play a plinkity plink piano piece was there, and here it is.


Lean closer, lend an ear
Hear me out, this is our affair.

If I said to you, I apologize 
There are things I didn't say 
I told you I knew you
Would someday, walk away.

The reason I am pleading
Is for you and your happiness
Lean closer, lend an ear
Hear me out, this is our affair.

If I said to you, and you listened too
Then surely we could both agree 
From here on in, there's no way out
Since that is what I promised you.

Lean closer, lend an ear
Hear me out, that is why we’re here.     
  
If I said to you, and you listened too
Then surely we could both agree 
From here on in, there's no way out
Since that is what I promised you.

If I said to you, I apologize 
There are things I didn't say 
And the reason I am pleading
Is for you to go our way. 

Lean closer, lend an ear
Hear me out, this is our affair.

If I Said To You

"Friday Night" – A High-Energy, Funk-Infused Celebration
"Friday Night" is an uptempo, groove-heavy track that blends lively bass, funky guitar and drums, and a brilliantly arranged saxophone section to create an infectious, feel-good anthem. The song evolved organically through the contributions of musicians from around the world, showcasing the collaborative spirit of what is quickly becoming known as the Intercontinental Collaborative (ICC).
Credits:
    •    Roger Whittlesey (USA) – Words & music, lead and background vocals, keys, drums
    •    Georg Boehme (Germany) – Saxophone arrangement, tenor, alto, and baritone saxophones
    •    Tim Jordan (USA) – Lead and rhythm electric guitar, funky outro figures
    •    Noel Barrett (Ireland) – Bass guitar
    •    Christy Bluhm (USA) – Background vocals (verses and outro)
The song took shape in a truly international fashion:
    •    New Hampshire, USA – Whittlesey wrote and recorded the foundation of the track.
    •    Cork City, Ireland – Barrett infused the song with his signature bass groove.
    •    Philadelphia, USA – Jordan layered in three guitar tracks, adding a funky rhythm and refined lead licks that elevated the song. He also introduced the funky outro figures that would later become a highlight.
    •    New Hampshire, USA – Bluhm enriched the track with her soulful background vocals, expanding upon Jordan’s outro idea.
    •    Cologne, Germany – Boehme crafted an intricate sax arrangement featuring close harmonies and syncopated lines. He then capped off the song with a sizzling baritone sax solo in the outro, turning up the heat.
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I can’t wait for Friday night
We’ll drive away from city lights
I will be with you-know-who!!
Playing Keno in the bar.
We’ll leave our worries in the car.
I will be with you-know-who
(Chorus)
Bring me the smile that I love
The one I’m thinking of
Sing me the song I adore
There’s nothing that I want more
(Verse 2)
When I’m at work how time does crawl
But Friday night’s the best of all
I will be with you-know-who
(Chorus & Outro)
With its driving beat, funky instrumentation, and dynamic sax section, "Friday Night" is a testament to the power of musical collaboration across borders, delivering a track that is both playful and electrifying.
