Walking

Making songs has been an important therapeutic process for me since the early 80's, although lately long lasting walks in nature have been my primary way to forget earthly worries. Thus, I have composed only couple of new songs during this year and I've been mainly concentrating on polishing my older songs. But here is a new song I have managed to finish, and inspiration for it has naturally been walking smile The story is bit dark, it is not easy to walk away from all of your memories.

The music was partly inspired by the baritone guitar RT that, when left playing the same chord for many bars, started to play nice riffs. I hope I haven't overused it laugh

Lyrics:

Walking, watching brimstone butterflies
walking I'm feeling
the springtime passing by.
I'm walking, enjoying
those cherry trees in bloom
in the central park
where the Sun dates her groom.
I'm walking, I'm hearing
how a greenfinch tunes his voice
life is calling me to rejoice.

Walking, I'm walking
forgetting
there's something on my heels.
Walking, faster
away from home
from the scents that could reveal
the memories I'm fleeing
all the blanks in my being
the affection that I used to feel
so I'm walking, I'm walking
because if I stop
I'll start thinking about you.

Walking I'm receding from the keys
walking away from the
birthday melodies.
Away from the red Ford
not on the parking lot
away from phones and tabs,
mails that I haven't got.
Away from the balcony
the last move of the queen
the sofa bed, the lovemaking scene.

[Chorus]

Walking,
many miles from restaurants,
sushi, Nepalese,
the kebab sauce smell still haunts.
Too many tasty things
Fresita, chicken wings
too many milestones to avoid
walking,
becoming a paranoid
scared to pause, to see the cause.

[Chorus]
