LIVE RIGHT NOW
Live Right Now – Lyrics
A sign of the times, another love past
Everything moving just a little fast
Nothing worth nothing and it don’t last
You hold your head and breathe
You live and you love for what you need
Everybody’s got a heart to bleed
Everybody’s got a soul to feed
And everybody dies
You’re here again, you need one good friend
Someone you can call every now and then
You need someone that’ll help you to comprehend
You need somebody real
Live right now with all you got
Live right now with what you got
Life right now it’s all you got
Live in here and now
One more day another one gone
Another one feeling that it won’t be long
Another one thinking that he don’t belong
It’s just one more day
Fire and soul on bended knee
On the highest mountain and the seven seas
But it’s all as temporary as a summer breeze
That’s all that you’ve got
You can live in fear with your sinner’s doubt
You can touch the autumn sky on a walkabout
You can moan and cry or you can sing and shout
Well what are you gonna do
Live right now with all you got
Live right now with what you got
Life right now it’s all you got
Live in here and now
Live right now with all you got
Live right now with what you got
Life right now it’s all you got
Live in here and now
Live Right Now
The title of this song pretty much sums up the message. I wrote this one in 2011, during a particularly challenging time. Living in the moment can be a truly effective coping mechanism when life has thrown you a curve ball. Life is wonderful these days and in no small part because the message to live right now is always applicable. It may be easier to live in the moment when things are going well, but this doesn’t diminish its power to influence our state of mind through tough times.
The song sounds a lot more intricate and complex; more difficult to play, than it actually is. It’s in an open D tuning with a capo on the 2nd fret bringing it to open E. Open tunings lend themselves to chord voicings and even melodies that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to play with a conventionally tuned guitar. If you’re a guitar player you might be interested in trying out a few of these great songs written in this tuning, and then coming up with one of your own.
- Allman Brothers – Little Martha
- Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter
- Rolling Stones – Prodigal Son
- Joni Mitchell – Big Yellow Taxi
- ZZ Top – Just Got Paid
- Black Crowes – She Talks to Angels
- Tragically Hip – Fiddlers Green
