12. Muddled Through (live2)
[spoken words announcement] [quiet room, close crowd] “Last one for tonight… thanks for staying with us. This song is dedicated to our old friend Hag-7-of-9, without whom A-M-P would be only half of what they are today. — Here's ‘Muddled Through.’” [intro] [instrumental] (Verse 1) I floated through the halls, never hit the books, Skating on the surface, just a glance, not a look. Teachers tried to teach me, but I smiled and waved, Got my passing grades, had a good time being brave. (Chorus) Oh, I muddled through, like a feather on the breeze, Life handed me the keys, I took the easy leads. Laughing with my friends, while the world spun around, Now I look back and smile at the life I found. (Verse 2) Lived in the moment, never chased the grind, Dreams turned into songs, but I was never blind. In every smoky bar, my guitar felt like home, Played a hundred gigs, but never felt alone. (Chorus) Oh, I muddled through, like a feather on the breeze, Life handed me the keys, I took the easy leads. Laughing with my friends, while the world spun around, Now I look back and smile at the life I found. [instrumental] (Bridge) Now I'm older, wiser, with memories that shine, Twinkling in my eyes, like stars that intertwine. Never really worried, never turned my back, Just a lucky songbird, dancing down my track. (Chorus) Oh, I muddled through, like a feather on the breeze, Life handed me the keys, I took the easy leads. Laughing with my friends, while the world spun around, Now I look back and smile at the life I found. (Outro) So raise a glass to misfits, to the ones who play, Life's a melody, and we're dancing anyway. With every chord I strum, with every tale I tell, I muddled through this life, and I wouldn’t change a spell. [instrumental] [spoken words announcement] [crowd cheering loud] "This was ‘Muddled Through!’ and the end of a wonderful evening! — Thank you all! You're a great audience! We are A M P. — After Midnight Project. — Nika Vale, Finn Lorne, Lia Storm, Milo Hart, Zoé Winters and Jesper Ray” [crowd cheering rising] [End] [crowd long applause] [crowd cheering rising] (crowd chanting rhythmically, unintelligible) [end]
