It’s just us
The song is on the Volume 5 album and can be heard on YouTube
Just Us
The year 2020 brought us this lovely pandemic and the request/demand by the powers-that-be that we need to hunker down to save our collective selves. This of course spawned new songs all over the World. This was my first effort along that line and it is only loosely connected. The photo predates this event by a few months. I love the sound of the bass in this one. PLEASE use good headphones or speakers to get the most out of these songs!
Just Us
E A
Some days are very cold, some days are very hot
E E
Some days I’m feeling old, some days I’m not
E B
Some days I’m happy, some days I want to cry
E E7
Sometimes I understand, sometimes I wonder why
A A
We want the World to thrill us. It tries to kill us
E E
We want it to love us but I doubt it will miss us
B A
My head is spinning round ‘bout 5 times a sec
E B7
I wonder if it matters if it falls off my neck
I don’t know my neighbour, not a clue who they are
But it drives me crazy that they have a nicer car
Life is just confusing. I pretend it’s amusing
I know I’ll die on a day that’s not my choosing
I’m swimming in a river trying not to drown
I clamber and I shiver, hoping I’ll be found
A hand reached out to me and I grab it tight
Once again, you saved me from a losing fight
C#m A D Bm
E C#m F# B7
You are the Star around which I gravitate
We are in love. Could be choice, could be fate
Everything around us is distraction and fuss
All I’ll ever need from life is just us
Now my days are never cold, ‘cause you are so hot
I’m never old, I feel ageless, why not!?
We are always happy, even if we cry
We don’t need to understand, why ask why
I say hi to my neighbour, no matter who it is
Don’t know how he got the car, that’s not my biz
My hand is held out so you can hold it tight
My heart and soul are yours, day and night
