Turtle On

Skirmish: Catting and Dogging (@hmstreetteam)

Liner Notes

#acousticonetake

I started with music and mood and tried to find words that fit. I guess “turtle on” is like putting one foot in front of the other.

Lyrics

Wake up from a dream Somehow I thought I’d see something new It’s the same as before As I poke around looking for you If anyone knows then They must be a fly on the wall They buzz around while The rest of us wait for the call

Turtle on Turtle on Take Every step Every moment Until it’s gone

There are days when I fear that I’m falling behind Others race onward I can’t get that thought from my mind I hope for a change Every time I check my machine There are blips and then bleeps And I’m not sure I know what they mean

Turtle on Turtle on Take Every step Every moment Until it’s gone

The dirge like backing and vocal bring out the narrator's suffering. Then the brighter chorus gives us (and him) some hope. PS I just posted a late entry to your catting and dogging skirmish.

We both used turtles! Yeah! I can use this in my Scuba Diving teaching too...everyone just TURTLE ON! :)
