Jeff Nich.: Music / Lyrics

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

I was sitting in my basement on a Sunday in September playing with an alternative tuning on my guitar. I was thinking about living in New England and changes I needed to make in my life. I was noting how where I lived, the weather and seasons really supported making those life changes. And a song was born.
______________________________

Vermont is on the corner of September at noon
If we're going to get another one of these Sundays
It's gonna have to happen soon
Got so many choices today that I can't seem to move
So I'm waiting on winter
To start singing a different tune

Hey, look what's changing now
Another season pulling me around

Time to put on something different
Put away mistakes
Time to find more in the darkness
Instead of pushing it away
Try to stay in contact with the world outside
Try to give a little something extra
Try to sympathize

New England's got a way of spinning you around
A cold snow on your closed-eye smile
or sunshine on my frown
Changes in the weather, or maybe it's just me
Needing something to remind me
It's all a circle that we weave
And it'll come around, singing

Hey look what's changing now
Another season pulling me around

Time to try something different
Put aside my doubt
Time to search a little harder
For what it's all about
Try to make contact with my world inside
Try to stop the judgments
Try to realize - It's not just me

In another season
Another reason
To continue
