Topic: "Be Right Here Right Now"

This is for dancing (or twitching about oddly, if you dance like I do)!

Be Right Here Right NowJames McCormick, September 3, 2007


Like a Neville Brother's, Wild Tchoupitoulas, Wild Magnolias, or Meters funk.


With a wicked-nasty bass line and polyrhythmic drive.


Tribal, throbbing, primal - especially on chorus




[G7]Open your eyes, the [C7]future it is [D7]now


[G7]Everything you do today, it [C7]matters some-[D7]how


The [G7]past a simple prelude, an [C7]opening re-[D7]frain


The [G7]future is what's happening, it [C7]never is the [D7]same!


. . . . chorus . . . .

Yeah, [G]be here, be here now, [C]be right here right [D]now!


Yeah, [G]be here, be here now, [C]be right here right [D]now!


[G7]Open your mind, the [C7]future it is [D7]here


[G7]Get you act together, [C7]get yourself in [D7]gear


It's [G7]not some stupid TV show, some [C7]scripted desti-[D7]ny


The [G7]future is now, the [C7]future is [D7]free!


. . . . chorus . . . .



[G7]Open you heart, the [C7]future it has [D7]come


[G7]Pounding like a hammer, [C7]throbbing like a [D7]drum


So [G7]stomp your feet, twist and shout, [C7]howl at the [D7]sky


The [G7]future it is waiting, c'-[C7]mon now give it a [D7]try!


. . . . chorus . . . .


[G7]Open your head, the [C7]future it is [D7]bright


[G7]Endless opportunity, ad-[C7]venture is in [D7]sight


[G7]Go on a journey, ex-[C7]plore far and [D7]wide


The [G7]future is wide open, it's im-[C7]possible to [D7]hide!


. . . . chorus . . . .


[G7]Open your arms, the [C7]future feels so [D7]fine


Ca-[G7]ress it like a lover, [C7]savor it like [D7]wine


[G7]Hug it like a puppy, [C7]let it lick your [D7]face


The [G7]future is seductive, [C7]take it on a [D7]date!


. . . . chorus . . . .


repeat until everybody is all sweaty, then fade

Re: "Be Right Here Right Now"

selso - Bootsy Collins bass is perfect!
Something that gets down into your DNA and makes you move.

st800 - glad you like it and thrilled you are playing it!

Old Doll - Have a little iced tea and cool down, girl . . . glad you caught the fever!

daddycool - knowing the future would be too great a burden.  There is a Greek myth about Cassandra - she could see the future, but everybody ended up hating her for it.  Actually, great idea for a song there . . . . hmmmmm.
