Songs in THE RAW!! "Maybe the Night"

I feel like I've been away for a while. I don't even remember how long it's been...a couple of weeks, I guess. But, I am very happy to be back in the saddle. I recorded a song last week called "Feel Good". It's a song that I wrote a while ago, but hasn't made it to the public yet. I wanted to get it out of my head and into the world. So, you can head over to Jon Roniger – Songs in the Raw – MySpace Page and give it a ride.
This week's entry is called "Maybe the Night (Maybe the Fear)". I worked with this one for a couple of weeks and finally sent it to press last night. I'm not sure what took me so long....maybe I am loosing more of my brain every year than I thought. I think that it might have been that I was trying to leave my usual song writing structure behind. For this one, I wrote the lyrics first and then the music. I usually do it the other way. This was a real test for me. I did not find it easy.
The lyrics came form the idea that fear, misfortune and/or bad luck could all be seen as a catalyst for change. Perhaps that's what they alway have been, it just depends on how you look at it.
If you're scared pf the dark, just remember that night always follows day and in turn gives birth to the day again.
If you're scared, maybe it's for good reason. Fear awakens the animal instincts. Probably what kept us from being eaten by lions in the jungle.....or not....
Tears and pain go hand in hand. Perhaps tears are the body's way of washing the pain away....a cleansing...
At any rate, we all have felt fear, pain, beaten, worn thin. We all have coping mechanisms. Some we develop from our personal experience and some are innate. They are part of the human existence and with us for a reason.
I hope you enjoy the song. I am alos going to put down another older song this week. I'll keep you posted.
