GRAVITY by HappyRon

VIDEO:



GRAVITY: https://soundcloud.com/happyron10/gravity-will-you-bring-her-to-me


Song came from me being born with bad hips and how that impacted me socially

GRAVITY
by HappyRon

INTRO: C /// //// F /// ////
VERSES: C /// //// F /// //// C /// //// G /// //// C /// Am /// G /// //// C /// ///
CHORUS: Ab /// Bb /// Ab /// G /// Ab /// Bb /// Ab /// G7 ///

I was born a little... lopsided
Trip and fall on my two left feet
I couldn't get to where I needed to go, to the place
Where she and I could meet

Gravity, will you bring her to me
But it won't happen till I'm ready
Gravity, why do you fight with me
Won't you help me hold myself steady

Should I be a bit more sexy
Should I be a touch more strong
Should I be just what she wants me to be
Or would that be wrong...

Gravity will you bring her to me, but it won't happen till I'm ready
Gravity, will you start to work with me
And help me hold myself steady

Gonna poke my head right outa my hole
And take a breath and see what's around
And plant my feet right onto the ground
And build up strength for the next round

Gravity, will you bring her to me, but it won't happen till I'm ready
Gravity has got to come from me, So I better hold myself steady
Gravity, will you bring her to me, but it won't happen till I'm ready
Gravity is what I need to be, So I better hold myself steady
I better hold myself steady, I better hold myself steady

Hi HappyRon!
I love the switch up to Ab for the chorus, and the melody over those chords. The melody over ‘Gravity’ adds weight to the cry out to those physical forces - no pun intended. An interesting, unique subject matter and angle. This was great to listen to.

Hey Happy Ron, your song holds so much charm and your voice so much character. It's vulnerable, honest, and a unique composition.

Hi HappyRon. Sorry to hear about your hip issues. This song an excellent song. Great vocal and lyrics. Super backing band and mix.
I really liked this one.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

These are grave times for sure. You and Deej both sing about the gravity of situation. But your situation is very different, Ron. I really love how you write about how gravity was your enemy from the beginning, yet how it can be quite rewarding when she gravitates to you. You are one happy dude, and your music carries that message.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I missed this one, but making up for it now. I love the melody and the huge character in your voice. This lent itself to multiple plays. Really well done

Very clever theme lyrically, plus those BVs suit the song perfectly.


Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
