What's On The Way
A severe and dangerous storm is slamming us here on the Cape. 20+ inches expected. 70 MPH winds. Total white out. Power company saying could be days before electric is back up. Times like these I harken back to a song I wrote to remind myself that...every ting goan be awwite.

Intro w harp
Finally catch a warm day
Cold wind off the water blew away
Long wait see the summer’s face
Long wait for just a little taste
Of what’s on the wayyyy What’s on the wayyyyyy
Break w harp
You know life’s a little teasing thing
If you finally get it then you’ll know what it means
To crack a smile and syncopate
Heavy laughing at the end of the pain
That’s what’s on the wayyyy What’s on the wayyyyyy
There’s a shine way up high
And underneath it a big blue sky
And below that a pretty girl’s smile
And she’s going out and play like a child
Gonna storm hard tomorrow
Might just blow us all away
But not if the scene in your mind
Sees it all get better in time
Thats what’s on the way What’s on the wayyyyyy
Break w harp
What’s that coming towards us on the wing
Something that the whole world is craving
Keep watch so we can always see
The precious bird of liberty
That’s what’s on the wayyyy That’s what’s on the wayyyyyy
Not done not gone not wrong
Keep watch keep smiling on
Don’t hide and don’t run
Underneath the new day’s dawn
From what’s on the wayyyyyy
From what’s on the wayyyyyy
What’s on the wayyyyyy

There is something fun about a big snow storm. Especially if you live in the country, in the city its a pain.

Hey my great northern friend, yeah I'm guessing you know about snow storms. I'm with ya I love the snow, I'm a big skier. But chit 20" here on the beach, blizzard conditions, power out for multiple days...comin atcha big time. Yes I wrote and did prolly did 5-6 takes on the song before a final. I'm wearing an around the neck harp holder and recorded it on my iPhone. Thank you so much for listening and your kind words. Now if I can just keep the generator going until dawn😅

That's one way to own a song and put feeling into it. have to disagree with the snow. it's sucks, especially if you have 150' of driveway that needs to be cleared and you don't have a plow 😂

20+ inches expected. 70 MPH winds. Total white out.? Wow. Stay safe man. That is serious territory.
I like your lyric. Especially that Bridge.
I'm less keen on the vocal melody for this one. It felt a little less defined than usual to me, kind of drifting a bit. But that's just an opinion, and it may only be mine!!
Guitar and harp work is really nice though. Sharp.
