A Journey That Never Ends © 2018 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Randall, BMI (v1) Wherever the wind might blow That’s where I wanna go -Carefree got nothing to lose Always wearing my traveling shoes Got no problems, ain’t got a care Packed my Superman underwear Nothing to stop me or tie me down Going where I can’t be found CHORUS Life’s a journey that never ends Twists and turns and a few dead ends Might get lost a time or two +Or take a road with a different view Got no time to be worried or blue So much to see and do -I’m always chasing the wind Life’s a journey that never ends (v2) Going fast or taking it slow Don’t matter as long as I go -Keep moving on down the road Traveling light as the miles unfold Highway straight or curves ahead Smooth sailing or a bump instead There ain’t nothin’ gonna slow me down The next place is where I’m bound CHORUS Life’s a journey that never ends Twists and turns and a few dead ends Might get lost a time or two +Or take a road with a different view Got no time to be worried or blue So much to see and do -I’m always chasing the wind Life’s a journey that never ends (v3) My destination is always new Could be Dallas or Timbuktu Always different but still the same A new adventure just a different name -Going here and going there -With stories and memories to share -A big city or a country town My feet are always on new ground CHORUS Life’s a journey that never ends Twists and turns and a few dead ends Might get lost a time or two +Or take a road with a different view Got no time to be worried or blue So much to see and do -I’m always chasing the wind Life’s a journey that never ends Last edited by Al-David; 07/15/18 12:01 PM.

This is well written ( goes without saying really - good song construction is second nature for some!) and infectious. That`s a cool nylon guitar track I haven`t heard before. Very enjoyable music.

There was a time when I tried living a bit like that, but eventually I found I liked the old familiar things as well. Super backing track and a perfect vocal - hey, if you can sing like that in one take, there's no need to start tracking up! Hope things are working out for you in the new space, my friend. All the best, ROG. Free online guitar lessons. Cours de guitare gratuit en ligne.

All the best, ROG. Hi ROG, Thanks so much. This song is a bit autobiographical. I love traveling to places I've never been before. I've been so fortunate in that regard: 43 countries and all but two (Oregon & Hawaii) US states. I was unhappy with the vocal but didn't have time to do a retake. For some reason, I rushed the words "Might get lost a time or two" on all three choruses. I wanted to make that right. Still working on the "sound". The acoustics here leave a lot to be desired. I think the vocal "dynamics" sounded halfway decent but still need some tweaking - still looking for the right tone balance. I recorded the vocal and mixed it, then posted it in less than twenty minutes. So not a lot of technical prep. In other words - it's pretty raw! Many thanks. I appreciate the kind words. Di says "Hi!" Alan Last edited by Al-David; 07/15/18 02:24 PM.

Glad you enjoyed it. I still have 12 -14 songs with music finished but lyrics only partially finished, some no more than a single verse. But, in time! Thanks again. Alan PS: edited as follows - I had the music finished in one day - just wasn't able to record vocals until a couple of days ago. Last edited by Al-David; 07/16/18 07:43 AM.

The opportunity wanted a song much like you described. Sometimes I get lucky and get fairly close to the desired song. Other times, well ....! This was a fun song to do - enjoyed the entire process.

I was going to say this song sounded like it came from someone who was pretty well traveled, and then I saw that comment! I've only ever been to Florida (and going there again this late summer in September). I had barely seen Canada up until I moved from Ontario to BC. Took the train. It was pretty cool. 5 and a half days, 12 hours delayed both ways. But it was a really cool experience. I hope to get the chance to see that many countries someday. Cheers, Ember

J&B PS I wish I could write on demand -- just takes me waaaaaay too long. Howdy Folks! Thank you very much! I need to redo the vocal, but other than that I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I just need to smooth out the vocal timing in places - maybe reduce the lower EQ a tad. As I edited my reply to Dave - the music was finished in about 22 hours and had the vocal written the following day. Couldn't record vocals until a couple of days ago. Otherwise, I'd have had ready in time for the opportunity. As far as writing on demand - I've been fairly lucky with that so far. I've had 2 placements on Songtradr, one on a different site and sold a work for hire several years ago ($600.00). Many thanks for the nice comments! Best to you & yours.

I love the feel you are are singing with. My goodness; I'll be listening to this many times. Such a cool song! Btw, for "one and done" and having just moved; I would never have known. In my opinion, you did a really impressive job. Keep 'em coming please! Chad (Hope that makes it easier) TEMPO TANTRUM: What a lead singer has when they can't stay in time.
