Liner Notes

#morph This is another song title that kept jumping from the prompt box into my hand no matter how many times I threw it back.

Lyrics

Don’t Wait approx. 115 bpm

(F) Don’t wait for the ground (B) beneath you to crumble there’s probably something you can (F) do right now It’s easy to delay if you’re (B) afraid you’ll stumble but you already know that (F) anyhow

(B) Don’t wait (C) (F) (B) (C) (F)

(F) Don’t wait for a finely (B) engraved invitation you’re as welcome as you’ve (F) always been Don’t wait for the planets to align (B) in the heavens that only happens every (F) now and then

(B) Don’t wait (C) Don’t wait (F) Don’t wait (B) don’t hesitate (C) (F) It’s already late (B) Don’t leave it to (C) fate (F) Don’t wait

Don’t wait for next time.. there might not be one find something you need and something to share Take any opportunity the next you see one and you’ll start seeing new ones everywhere

Don’t wait Don’t wait Don’t wait don’t hesitate It’s already late Don’t leave it to fate Don’t wait

(A) A capable mind is a (Dm) curse sometimes (Bb) it can think up so many (F) excuses (A) easily go (Dm) down every figurative road (G) still wondering what the (C) truth is

Don’t wait Don’t wait Don’t wait

Don’t hesitate It’s already late Don’t procrastinate don’t get stuck in the gate it’s time to step to the plate and take control of your fate Don’t wait Don’t wait

Love this seed song! Very Paul Simony! Love those harmonies! Love that bridge! Don’t get stuck in the gate it’s time to step up to the plate! Great lines!

Just finished my morph of @debs, song. I think it says something that 5 iterations later so many of the lines and ideas from your original song are still very much alive. Love this performance, really fun and lighthearted.

Just posted my morph which means I can listen to all the songs that came before, yay! This is such a cheerful, bouncy, smooth little number...and that guitar work? Chef's kiss! I listened multiple times with a huge smile on my phase. I'm really surprised how many of these lyrics made it through to my version (5th song in the chain).

I listened to these morphs in reverse order (3 so far). Such a fun idea! This song has such a motivating message. Your vocals and guitar work are impressive! I can’t wait to see where this morph goes.

Thank you so much for starting the song for the morph chain. Your lyrics are so uplifting and feel like an advice I should take in my near future. Thank you so much. The melodies are great, the bridge especially. I finished recording my version: https://write.fawm.org/songs/306557

A beautiful listen! I especially liked the development through the choruses. And it was really cool how you used all those idioms and none of them felt cliché, they all felt legit and natural.
