LYRICS
The clouds moved out of the way
’cause the mountains had something to say
“We appreciate the sunshine today”
When trouble is at bay
Conveyancing will outweigh
Why move mountains?
Why move a mountain?
Through our valley let peace roll in

LYRICS
In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

Searching high and low
Where did the day light go

There should have daylight savings
But, we kept shaving and shaving and shaving
Until there was barely splintered sunlight left

It’s not alright when there’s nothing left

It there’s a shadow in the way
There’s a way to flesh out a ray
What do you say
Let’s step out into the light
Alight? Alright!

In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

ABOUT THE SONG
A / D / A
Bm7 / G / E

Written and recorded on November 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was the first sunny day and warm enough to play guitar outside in a long time. It was also the first nice day since the start of daylight savings. So… I wanted to catch the last rays as the sun started to set. Lack of sunlight tends do cause depression; therefore, I suggest you try catching rays.

People Getting Grooved at the Paoli, PA Blues Festival

LYRICS
I went to a blues festival
But, it was too sad
Then, I saw some heavy metal
They were too, too mad

May the music move you
Any which way
May the music move you
Every which way
So long as you are grooved

When I went to see some county
It was paved over
Then I went to see classic rock
It was a poor pour [Fab-4] cover (let it flow)

May the music move you
Any which way
May the music move you
Every which way
So long as you are grooved

ABOUT THE SONG
E / A / G / E
E / D

Written and recorded in Paoli, PA and West Chester, PA on October 6, 2012. I stared thinking about the term BluesFest. It kind-of felt like an oxymoron. Ya, know… “Festival Of Sadness”. So, it’s a tongue-in-cheek song about music moving people. Whatever music moves you, may you be moved. In fact, when it’s all said and done… I hope you are grooved from the experience.
