COLLAPSE INTO NOW: DISCOVERER

This might come as a shock, jumping ahead a few decades like this, but I just heard the new track yesterday.  Below is the song.  It's not bad ... kind of rocking with a little Edge thrown in.  The opening and closing chord is the same as the B chord formation in Harborcoat, but with more distortion.  It's very anthemic with a shouted out bridge.  There are some other sneak peeks at remhq.com including the track listing, a preview trailer, and the song It Happened Today, alot of background 'aahs' in this one including Eddie Vedder.  Kind of reminiscent of Stipe's guest spot of Grant Lee Buffalo's Jubilee.   For those of you not from NYC, he is floating across Houston, pronounced How-stun, Street.

DISCOVERER

Hey baby,

This is not a challenge

It just means that I love you as much as I said I did

I was wrong, I have been laughable wrong

Sandpaper, paper mache, chalk, hung out wet

Oh the city and your skin, now, na na na na na na

I didn’t have to be afraid

I didn’t have to feel so stupid

I can see myself, I can feel

That just the slightest bit of finesse

Might have made a little less mess

But it was what it was, let’s all get on with it

Now!

Oh!

Discoverer

Discoverer

Discoverer

Laughing, laugh

Discoverer

Floating across Houston

That’s where I am

I see the city rise up tall

The opportunities, the possibilities

Oh I have never felt so called

Remember the vodka-espresso night of discovery?

Remember that?

Laughing

Discovery

Oh how I look back and reflect

How I felt it, how it set

I don’t have to feel so wrong

Now I wake up dreaming, saffron, turmeric, and brass

And just the slightest bit of finesse

Might have made a little less mess

But it was what it was, let’s all get on with it

Now!

Just the slightest bit of finesse

Might have made a little less mess

But it was what it was, let’s all get on with it

Now!

Oh!

Discoverer

The guitar part here is fairly simple, but fun.  Find a friend to play the lead under the verse ...
