A song for the Time Traveller challenge from CBC. The song is about going back in time to correct former mistakes, just to realize that it wouldn't do any good. Check the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jwotXGJ3J4
Story behind the song
I was fooling around with my newly repaired Stratocaster and I found a chord that I had to explore. From the low end: 0,11,9,11,0,12 - a truly nice chord, with the low E-string empowering the sound.
I moved the chord around on the fret with some minor adjustments, and suddenly there was a song in sight. All chords are played with the loose low E-string as ostinato (it is part of every chord) Hope you enjoy and will comment :-)
Lyrics
Am I still the same? After all these changes
I want peace of mind, before I reach the end
Travelling through time, I have carried many faces
The boy I used to be, Oh, how much I love him
There were no regrets, life was so exciting
And I sometimes wish, I could travel back in time
Follow him around, never interfering
Watch him be a clown, watch him be a winner
I wish I could.......
I wish, I could correct all the wrong, that they did, to the boy,
i wish I could take his hand and let him see,
he's not alone, there's someone there, who understands ,
who really cares, I really wish I could. oh, I wish I could
I wish I could, hold his hand, in the dark,
but it's too late - he's out of time, it's too late
Yestertime- Yestertime -Yestertime- Yestertime
