Singer-songwriter Scott Gordon offers superbly crafted songs in a mostly progressive pop-rock genre with a sensitivity to varied audiences. Unique and innovativ

I am a singer-songwriter who writes and performs progressive rock and light rock ballads on piano, keyboards and guitar. I sometimes bring in my wife, friends and former bandmembers to assist with my performances, but with busy schedules amongst us, more often than not these are usually solo performances enhanced with MIDI back-up tracks, which provide a beautiful contrast of a live vocal and guitar or piano over a pre-recorded background.

Story behind the song

I wrote this song while my wife was traveling to Asia and I was home alone.  I finished it the second night and stayed up late to record it and send it to her as an mp3 email that same night.

Lyrics

HOPE YOU'RE ALRIGHT 				February 2008  Costa Rica

Darling I was hoping I would find you at home
Didn't want to face another night all alone
I hope you're happy and warm - Safe from the upcoming storm
	You are the one that I love - Sent from the heaven above - FOR ME

Some bad news today - it made me shiver with cold
I'm feeling helpless inside like I am getting so old
Those mighty towers of trust - Came down and crumbled in dust
	And now we're losing our way - Somehow we've got to be brave - And try to save what will save - FOR NOW

The spirit is willing but the flesh can be weak
The machine has grown strong  and now it's starting to speak
It needs chaos and war to keep on
It will not stop until our freedoms are gone
	Our love is trapped in those lies - We should be reaching the skies - Much like that bird as it flies - ARISE!

Darling I was wishing I could see you tonight
But now I'm only hoping that you're doing alright
You're such a long way away - And so I wait and I pray
That I can find you again - No matter how long it's been - HOW LONG?

Hope You're Alright - 2008 - Scott Gordon
