Topic: world keeps turning

I had not written anything for awhile for various reasons. the other day I was listening to Amy's new song and reading all the post associated with it and sparked something. so thank you Amy for an inspiration.
https://soundcloud.com/mojo01/world-wont-stop

(A)                                                        (G)            (A)
well the world wont stop when the well runs dry
(G)                                             (D)                  (A)
just keeps on spinning while problems multiply

the world don't care if we fool ourselves
she cant hear the ringing of our bells

she will still be here when the cities turn to dust
and the sun will rise when our dreams have all been crushed

chorus

                       (D)                            (G)                      (A)
because the world goes on no matter what you do
(D)                      (G)                            (A)
it don't matter what your point of view
(G)                                              (D)                                (A)
because the stars still shine when our time is through


the world goes on when the last king's been crowned
she will still be laughing when the jester's not around

the world wont stop when our children cry
she keeps on spinning while we sing our lullaby's

the world wont stop when the last dollars made
it will keep on turning when the final songs been played

chorus

the world don't care if you loose your way
keeps on turning no matter to who you pray

the world wont stop when we've said our last goodbye
keeps on spinning while the innocent are crucified

the world wont stop when your time is past
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last

Re: world keeps turning

Your song makes perfect sense it also works well with your style of playing and singing.

Re: world keeps turning

good one mojo !! I like it.

so true -

Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.

Re: world keeps turning

I like this song. Country -rock kinda feel to it for me. I can hear backup behind the vocal and guitar.

Re: world keeps turning

smile  Well I'm glad I could be an inspiration! 

No truer words.  The 3rd rock will continue to spin despite our beliefs or existence.  Enjoy what you cam while you can.  Very well done Mojo!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: world keeps turning

I like it, Mo' very much and I'm about to go to SoundCloud to give it a listen. Your song reminds me of something the great George Carlin once said: " Don't worry about the planet! The planet will be just fine! It's the people who are.......". Well, you get the idea right? Gonna leave some comments on the Cloud for you, and I'm on the way.

Thanks for writing those great words!

Bill

Re: world keeps turning

thanks everyone for the positive comments, seems like the older I get the more  questions I have and fewer the answers become. the one thing I know for sure is that we are just blip in the grand scheme of things.
thanks again Amy for the inspiration,

Re: world keeps turning

I have come to think in my old age that the human race takes it's self much to seriously. To think we matter individually or collectively to development of the universe is just a joke and it's on us...
When the human race dies out the earth will still spin until it's allotted time..
Nice song Joe got me thinking which is probably a bad thing. smile
well played..
