Song Information:

7 years ago my son Maurice was born 10 weeks earlier than he should've been and this song was written then, when he was in the Natal Intensive Care Unit. I guess I was sort of bummed out at the time over some other things, so though it's meant to be a father's words of encouragement to his new baby, it has some rather grim overtones. I almost forgot about this song, and this song started out as a simple banjo tune, but with GB, I've taken it in another direction altogether. Maybe it got a little far out, but hey, what's a fella to do?
I play the piano, bass guitar, electric guitar, tenor banjo.
There's some GB Orchestral and Atmospheric loops.
The drum loops are Michael Blair loops

Song Lyrics:

Rough out there

Youre born all atremble
Youve got to start from zip
Hard enough to find a pulse
To say nothing of a breath
Like a dream within a dream- when everything goes well
But usually it seems like a steady descent into hell

Its rough out there I have no words to console
Ill try to teach you how to stand on your own two feet
As its all I know

Youll have your friends
To fill your days
To drive you crazy
In an infinite number of ways
But when theyre gone- you will mourn
To make you deal with change-thats what friends are for

Its rough out there and you cant trust everyone
I cant tell you how to tell when to cut your losses and run
As I dont know

Born without a clue
and in the end you die
with only the faintest hint
of what went flashing by
The only thing youll regret
Is when you compromise
And settle for less than what you know is right

Its rough out there I have no words to console
Youve got to make this life your own
Thats all I know
