What's up guys?

Here's a song my drummer wrote MOST of the lyrics for, and I put the music to it. I was pretty psyched about it cause as a songwriter I've never really done it that way. I usually START with the music and then write words based on what the music evokes.

I don't have any decent recordings of it yet, but I'll post one when I can. Anyway he wrote the first verse, the chorus, and most of the second verse. I wrote the last stanza of Verse 2, (I bolded my contribution) and I sorta cleaned up ALL the words a little bit to fit the cadence of the song better.

Anyway here you go:

"Invisible"

Taking a vacation
Somewhere far from here
A distant destination
Just to disappear.

Looking for a change of scenery
A day unlike today
A brand new direction
To lead my world astray.

Chorus:
Getting on the road,
Spinning that wheel.
It doesn't matter how I get there
Or when I eat my next meal.
The further that it takes me
The closer I feel,
Off the grid,
Invisible.
Searching just to make it real.

As the miles slip past me
I begin to see the light.
Truckin' down this highway
Everything feels right.

A Chance to be anonymous
To take what life will send
To find the home I've never seen
And meet the man I've never been.

Wow, a comment in the lyric section, unheard of, lol.

Yeah I dig what it's all about. I'm working on a 3rd verse but it's hard to know how to conclude this. I feel like verse 2 already ends pretty strong.

I have ONE recording of this, it's just a rough draft recorded about 20 minutes after I wrote the music to it. It only has the first verse repeated several times to kinda get the feel of it; and the singing is TERRIBLE.

But yeah it came together really easy. The drummer showed me the words when I got to practice one night and within about 15 minutes I had the music written.

I saw "Invisible Lyrics" and half expected an empty page.

sort of like... "I went to the Air and Space Museum, and was disappointed to see that they had stuff there."

I like these lyrics a lot.

"As the miles slip past me

Truckin' down this highway
Everything feels right."

I would make it a little more like this...

As the miles slip past me
mirages waver in the sunlight.
As I'm burning down this highway
everything starts to feel right

Everything feels right."

I would make it a little more like this...

As the miles slip past me
mirages waver in the sunlight.
As I'm burning down this highway
everything starts to feel alright

fixed :D
