Basking in the light

(Howard Aronson)

This lyric is about my first real love, when I was living in San Francisco in 1984. As soon as I saw her I was completely attracted and wanted to know who she was. She was on a life cycle at the gym, and as luck would have it after waiting for one to open up the one next to her became available. I waited for about 10 minutes and then asked her name and introduced myself. I asked her out to dinner, she said yes and the rest was all history as they say. Even though she had a boyfriend back in Canada, they had an agreement that they were free to do what they wanted while they were apart from each other. Being so young I didn't care about the boyfriend back in canada, and I had already come to grips with the fact that one day she would go back there for good because she was on a student visa. I can't even begin to tell you the unbelievable times that I had with her, and how she shaped my mind as far as women and their needs and so much more for years to come. Now in my 60s, I still remember her like yesterday. There are times when I want to go back to that time in the gym and see the first love of my life.

I remember it like yesterday It was 1984 I saw her on the life cycle When I came on to the gym floor She was so beautiful She was fire She was the type of girl that I desired It was love at first sight She was basking in the light It was love at first sight It ended up not being right She was from British Columbia In San Francisco on a student visa there was nothing I wouldn't do t To please her She was my first love she was a cut above She was my first love And I couldn't get enough It didn't last long Only 2 years Then she went back home And left me in tears She was so beautiful She was fire She was the type of girl that I desired She was so beautiful She was fire She was the type of girl that I desired She was basking in the light Standing in my light Basking in the light Standing in my light Basking in the light Basking in the light But it wasn't right

I got to get away from the girl

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a love that has gone wrong and and they just need to get away they were once in love with this girl but now things have changed almost overnight and he knows he has to get away. He doesn't know where he's going and what's going to happen but he has to do the right thing and leave. It's so surreal to him, because this girl was the love of his life and he thought she was going to be in his life forever. But things change, and the next minute you're in a totally different situation, with different feelings about the situation. It's hard to walk away from the one that you love but sometimes you have to

After you were gone

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about my grandfather, who is my best friend growing up. He was a self-made man, who had his own business as an electrician, and took me out to help him and taught me so many different lessons. If only I remembered those lessons and I didn't realize a lot of things that he taught me until after he was gone. I think if he could see me now he'd be very proud but there were times when he was alive that I was using and couldn't understand it and I'm sure after he was gone and he looked down at me and saw me abusing my life that he was saddened and could not explain why a fine young man who had all the abilities in the world to do anything he wanted, would throw away his life like that. I really miss my grandfather today, and I really reach back and try to take away things that he taught me and put them to use in my life today

One day at a time

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about the motto for staying clean and sober, and I got this from the 12-step program of alcoholics anonymous. It's basically the motto for any type of 12-step program, and it's one day at a time. Sometimes just one moment or 1 hour or 1 minute at a time. You can't really let up your guard, because the disease is so insidious and sneaky. It'll take anything that you're willing to give it. And I don't mean just drugs and alcohol, because when you get sober you can get addicted to other things that aren't healthy. Today I have a passion for hiking, eating very healthy, it's being spiritual, and it's cerebral as I can be. I know that any day this disease could take over and so many different ways. As they say, the devil has many disguises. So I can just take it one day at a time.

Leave Her Alone

By Jones Lyrics

Topic(s): If we hold on to something too tight, it won't stay. Atmosphere: pop character, catchy chorus, singer/songwriter, charty, extraordinary verse melody, can be a stop & go style, can be melodically fluent Genre/Style I was thinking of: Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Indi-Electronic, Indi-Pop, Synth-Pop Artist(s) I was thinking of: Imagine Dragons, The Weeknd, dvsn, Awolnation, Milky Chance, Passanger, RacknBone, Topic (ft. A7S), Phil Might Leave,... Comments: typical pop-structure & easy to sing along with in the chorus. In the verses I thought of a lot of breaks (e.g. "How many"...break... "Times"; A bit like in the song "Believer" - Imagine Dragons). I might work with it myself, so cant give you exclusive licence on that one.
