Keep On Going

Posted on August 26, 2013 by admin

You say you want another tie-dye day
Don’t want the feeling to ever go away

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

Now I’m working on something to say
Something to move us… change our way

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

I believe the day is today
That the false opinion can sway

I want to keep on giving
Sense I’m on the path to loving
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

ABOUT THIS SONG

While sitting in a field playing the guitar on the last day of the Stir Fry Music Festival, a fellow sitting next to me said, “I want to keep on going.”

Fest Sunset

Songwriting at the Philadelphia Folk Festival

LYRICS
It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You take a look n’ see

Come on in here
Learn n’ love… hunker
At Bob’s Country Bunker
Enjoy the atmosphere
Memories to hold dear

It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You hold it dearly

What?
Up from Who Hill
At the Azzoles?
Keep going still…
Just past the Roost… Until
You get a Stage Trip that’ll fulfill

LYRICS AND CHORDS

Am                   G              Am      G  Am
Little by little the night turns around,

                          G           Am    G  Am
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

                      G               Am    G  Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

LYRICS
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen
Medicine Men applying the Love Remedy
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve been
Girls dressing my gender before I get to see
Taking me on the road of hilarity

Oh, oh, yeah Da hummina hummina yeeha
Ha, ha, hee n’ a razamanaza
Takin’ jibber jazz

Taking the Bear for a walk
Listening to the people play
Listening to the Jibber Jazz talk
Wishing we could stay stay stay
Flying overhead – the people hawk
Listening to us pray in our own way
Getting 72 hours in a day

Band and band
Cooperating
Hand in hand
Man and woman
cohabiting
Gland in gland

Rage in front of the main stage
With a tripping hippie menagerie
Dance the night away
’till the blue alert sends darkness astray

ABOUT THIS SONG

Written after the three day camping and music festival Madsummer Meltdown 3.

Jimi Hendrix Tribute Music Festival in Atlantic City

E7#9
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why
. . G . . . . . . . . . . . . . A
‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky

A . . G . . . . E . . . . . . . .A . . . . G . . . . E
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

I started dreamin’ about playing the Boneyard fest … and it went sumpin’ like this:

Unplugged
. Purple Haze

Add Hammond B3
. All Along The Watch Tower

Start to medley-ize borh
Add / switch over to electric guitars

Plugged
. All Along The Watch Tower

Add more electro-JIMI-techno

. Purple Haze

Full out medley-ize botrh

NOTES:
ideally, we’d add musicians and build as we cycle
Everyone on-board by the end

the kinda tricky part I just started playin’ with… going back n’ forth in the medly-izer

this isn’t quite right… first try, but… perhaps the spirit of it:

Uhgh oh,
Things got really peculiar
Once I got to know her
I started to see
Undergarments
Hanging from a tree

Oh, yeah
Quite odd
Gone commando

Another scene, if ya know what I mean

Dear Doe,

Dang! She’s gone commando.

Sincerely,
John Dear
