Riding the Waves

Original North Georgia optimistic Americana country, 84 BPM, acoustic, responsive Hohner harmonica, Hammond B3 organ, warm gospel piano, upright slap bass, fiddle, brushed drums, Warm unmistakably MALE Bubba verse one; unmistakably FEMALE Darlene verse two, harmonies and duets, Emotional dynamic build, clear original lyrics, natural live Holler Shakers sound

[Intro: original Holler Shakers riff] [Verse 1: Bubba, mature warm male] I thought I'd have to calm the ocean Before I'd ever leave the shore Tried to tell the wind which way to blow And only worried more [Chorus: male Bubba, female Darlene harmonizes] I'm just riding the waves today Letting old resistance drift away I can paddle when the water calls And steady when the hard rain falls Some days high and some days low I'm learning how to let life flow [Verse 2: Darlene, expressive female] It's not the same as doing nothing I still work to mend the sail But I don't have to fight the current Just because it changes trail [Bridge: two voices trade lines] I've got a little more room to breathe Than I had some years ago The journey matters while it's moving [Final Chorus: Bubba and Darlene with band] I'm just riding the waves today Letting old resistance drift away I can paddle when the water calls And steady when the hard rain falls Some days high and some days low I'm learning how to let life flow [Outro: instrumental turnaround and clean ending]
