Like so many others, I've been too busy to get here, or to most of the other sites I like to visit, but I did post a lyric at 50/90 that Pete was kind enough to put his musical and vocal talents towards. I'll post it here to be heard, then move it later to the lyric section, as it's not quite (but almost) complete.


Missing Something
Lyrics by me, music and vocals by Pete Murphy

V1
Funny that each sunrise
Brings me a new... surprise
The laughs and the tearful cries
All part of the game...

V2
When I arise each morn
Feels like I've been... re... born
A new page replaces torn
No two days the same...

Ch
So WHY am I always searching... for something to find
Don't know what it is - Don't know where to look - or if I'll run out of time...
What is it I need?
Something eludes me...
The Who, and the How, and the Why...


V3
Blessed in so many ways
Loving my nights and... days
But something seems out of place
So hard to describe...

V4
A yearning for something new
Coming out of the... blue
Will I ever find... the... clue
The answer's inside...

Ch
So WHY am I always searching for something to find
Don't know what it is - Don't know where to look - or if I'll run out of time...
What is it I need?
Something eludes me...
The Who, and the How, and the Why...

Solo

Ch
So WHY am I always searching for something to find
Don't know what it is - Don't know where to look - or if I'll run out of time...
What is it I need?
Something eludes me...
The Who, and the How, and the Why...

What is it I need?
Something eludes me...
The Who, and the How, and the Why...

i like how it builds.
very good composition.
rock-n-roll ain't pretty --- that's why they picked us to play it.

Thanks Mark,
I really like the style of how Pete sings. I even wrote this with him in mind and let him have first crack at it. He's also worked with Donna, and I'm hoping she posts their collab also.

Thanks guys, I'll pass on your words to Pete.
Hi Mimmo, I'll be studying for finals this coming week, then I have the month of August free before I start school in the fall.

A fine collaboration, John. I love Pete's soulful interpretation. :) Really tremendous build-up in the arrangement. I can see why you had him in mind when you wrote the lyric. :)

What a fine song MoM.
Reminds me of a cross beween tesla and the black crowes.
