Story behind the song
"Ran into" a video of old friend from the '60s by accident on the internet that started me out in my first band. "Blue Toad Flax" was made up of the leader/songwriter, Tom Trefethen, (famous producer / composer / musician), Chris North (keyboard of Ambosia fame), Mike Guerrio on guitar and myself on drums. I haven't talked to the guys in 40 years! Seeing Toms video here inspired this tune: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_sIrSQt8do) Also see Toms excellent work at LENNONTRIBUTE.COM
Lyrics
TT-ROCK ------------------------------ Better days will be ahead No more cares it's all been said We seek the same as everyone Just want the freedom to have fun =========================== Good to see you back again been gone too long my friend I'm sad we didn't stay in touch but good feelings never end --- We had to go our separate ways to find the lifes we need But after all this time it seems we now are up to speed ==== You lived the dream and have the life your talent took you far You followed passion all the way now you are a star --- I'm envious of your success thought I've have it too But other things I learned from you have never made me blue ======================== There's never been a better time to say I've learned the rules It took me way too long I'm sure but had to find the tools --- The ones I hurt along the way remorseful still I feel No words can fix the broken hearts of souls I chose to steal ==== You might just find that what you want isn't what you said And realize your soul is still craving to be fed --- So strive to be inspired and wake the sleeping mind To new directions for your life that you long to find ========================
