Song information
Funky Venturesome returns for the next couple of tracks I plan to upload, starting with this one. The music came first influenced by Chic, who were know for their disco anthems (Le Freak, Good Times etc), and their album, "Risque." That album also had a lot of slower introspective songs which were more like pure R&B, and this was attempt to craft something similar. I had trouble coming up with lyrics at first, so I had to improvise words, which is what I did here.

Lyrics
Have you thought about it
The conversations you've had
Keep yourself together

Sitting by the fire
Watch your thoughts go higher
Keep oneself together

Let it flow and come its way
Just like the breeze in a grey sky

While we find the best lines
They don't find the best times
They're remembered later

We anticipate the chance
To bring it forth, no romance
and keep oneself together

Let it flow and come it's way
Just like the breeze in a grey sky

If you stop and think about it
We keep things to ourselves
Throw around our emotions
And put them on the shelves
And when they come to call
You can't say a word
Keep yourself together

REPEAT FIRST THREE VERSES

Why can't we express the love we feel inside
Drawn in by our demons we're taken for a ride
And when they come to call
You can't speak your mind
And light the eternal fire

If you stop and think about it we keep things to ourselves
Throw around our emotions and put them on the shelves
And when they come to call you can't say a word
Keep yourself together

Let it flow and come its way,  Just light your own fire

Even if the sound could have been much better (ask toveco for mastering), this is a very cool song.

This song sets a certain mood at the outset and never drops the ball. I'm about to listen to it a 2nd time.
