Wayside
Chasing Melodies: Embrace Life's Rhythm with Jason Eady's Wayside
Lyrics
Thumbing my way down wayside
Beginning a journey along Wayside, a path or route
I got some time to kill
Having free time available
I start humming this melody
Starting to hum a tune
It won't let me stand still
The melody is compelling and keeps the singer from standing still
Chorus:
Expressing anticipation for something positive, urging to seize it before it's lost, emphasizing the significance of music
I got a good thing coming
-Better get it before it's gone
-Hear that guitar strumming
-Sing that song
-It starts out somewhere in the air out there
Describing the arrival of inspiration unexpectedly, feeling familiar and comforting like an old friend
I catch it in the wind
-It shows up out of the clear blue sky
-Feeling like an old friend
-(Chorus)
Reiterating the theme of anticipating something good and valuing music
I take comfort in the way the words
Finding solace and connection in the lyrics and melody, waiting for the rhythm to start moving, expressing the urge to tap feet along with the beat
Sing me a melody
-I wait till they find their rhythm
-Then I start tapping
-My feet
-Tell me can you feel that backbeat
Asking if the listener can feel the rhythm and urging them to let it influence their movements, encouraging finding their own comfortable groove
Does it make you won't to move
-If if don't don't forget it's ok to let it
-Find your groove
-(Chorus)
Reiterating the anticipation of good things to come and emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment
There'll be time enough tomorrow
Reflecting on the future and its meaning, but emphasizing the importance of living in the present and performing necessary tasks before diving into deeper contemplation
To find your what it all means
-Tonight we're doing the cooking
-First we got to soak them beans
-(Chorus)
Repeating the chorus's theme of anticipation and urging action before losing opportunities
