Lyrics
RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
I left the hurt at home alone
The day I built a house of my own
I left the past behind
The day I freed my mind of my doubts and fears and of the phrase
"I don't want to be alone"
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
In this room on this hardwood floor
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
With my instrument and this song
I let everything go
That was holding me back, let it melt like snow
Now watch my spirit soar
To where it can see that I can be me much more
And I can finally be alone
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
In this room on this hardwood floor
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
With my instrument and this song
I am alone but I am alive
And I am here now
I am alone but I am alive
And I am here now
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
In this room on this hardwood floor
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
With my instrument and this song
That’s been with me all along
That I've started to write a million times before
And it keeps coming back for a million more
I left the hurt at home alone
The day I built a house of my own
I left the past behind
The day I freed my mind of my doubts and fears and of the phrase
"I don't want to be alone"
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
In this room on this hardwood floor
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
With my instrument and this song
I let everything go
That was holding me back, let it melt like snow
Now watch my spirit soar
To where it can see that I can be me much more
And I can finally be alone
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
In this room on this hardwood floor
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
With my instrument and this song
I am alone but I am alive
And I am here now
I am alone but I am alive
And I am here now
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
In this room on this hardwood floor
And all I want to be right here right now is who I am
With my instrument and this song
That’s been with me all along
That I've started to write a million times before
And it keeps coming back for a million more
THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
My own personal mantra. In a way inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now”, a very powerful book though admittedly not always easy to put into practice.
Timekeeper (Solo Demo)
Inspired by Jeannette Winterson, more concretely by the word “Timekeeper” from her children’s book “Tanglewreck”. My first song in 3/4 time, a favorite, an amalgam of people here and gone, past and present, loved and lost.
