In the Meantime

Here is a very early demo of a new song. It's still pretty rough, but I think that it's starting to come together:

I'll update the track as I continue to work on it and re-record the various elements, but I thought I'd share what a song sounds like at the beginning of the process. 

This is the first full song that I have recorded and produced on the new PC setup, too, which I am still figuring out. 

Thanks for listening. I hope you dig it. Check back. It'll get better as I keep working on it.

Lyrics:

Nothing truly lasts forever
Existence is finite
And all we have is one another
And the moments that make a life
An image emerges from the paper
Of a photograph
I hope you find it some years later
And it still makes you laugh

Don't let your life pass you by
In the meantime
I hope you find a reason to smile
In the meantime
Keep a love that keeps you warm
Through the storm
In the meantime...

Spend our lives making a living
Learn to earn to pay to play
Never wonder what we're missing
Waiting for another day-
dream of an extended vacation
All the places we could go
On some unexpected occasion
Experience is how we grow

Don't let your life pass you by
In the meantime
I hope you find a reason to smile
In the meantime
Keep a love that keeps you strong
All along
In the meantime...

They say life moves too fast
And I don't know if that's really true
Or that the good times never last
Because sometimes they really do
And every once in a while
Everything works out
Or you may walk a thousand miles
Only to turn back around

Don't let your life pass you by
In the meantime
I hope you find a reason to smile
In the meantime
Keep a love that keeps you loved
It's enough
In the meantime
In the meantime
In the meantime...
