My latest one-man jam is titled Walking, Running. It’s an acoustic song about going after the things you want without hesitation, in this case love. It has a bit of a Mumford and Sons meets Jack Johnson kinda vibe to it, and the choruses feature some of the best singing in rounds since Row, Row, Row your Boat, lol;-) Like all the songs on my Beyond Greener Grass album, I wrote and recorded everything you see and hear myself, from the instrumentation to the mixing and even shot and produced the video. I put all my heart and soul into this one and really hope you enjoy it! Make sure to leave me a comment if you do.
Lyrics:Walking, Running
Let’s not take this one so slow
let’s start moving faster than we
ever have gone before.
Cause all this walking
has got us talking,
future’s looking like it will bring
better days than before.
Our race is on,
let the games begin.
No more walking,
running till the end
Love don’t stop on those dimes
no taking out time, please!
Cause I can’t wait one more day
to get out there and play, free!
We’ll sleep in the day
at night come out and play
our hearts, they won’t know time.
Spring renew again,
summer we’re best friends
and by winter, we will be wed.
