JUST TODAY

(P. Assirati)

Another song from the original 10, owes a nod to the John Martyn. Tony’s killer piano part is a joy! Getting Tony in was Speedoo’s idea and he was right. Between Nick and Speedoo’s extremes I created on purpose the blend of new ideas and grounding to take my head and the album away from a bloke and an acoustic guitar. Woody and Tony added musical craft which perfectly compliments the bare feel of the songs.

 

You spend your life and you hope and pray
For another chance on another day
But when you’re lonely there’s just today

Then one day when your baby’s flown away
You’re gonna think of me, you’re gonna wonder where I’ll be
Because when you’re lonely there’s just today

I won’t make you choose because I know I’m gonna lose
I want to hear you say that you’ll never go away
When you’re lonely there’s just today

And you say it’s slipping, cut adrift and drifting
Life pulls you away

On the side and slipping, cut adrift and drifting
I’ll be far away with just today
