Parade a song about movement. I wrote this instrumental about Parades. In fact, it’s from a series of songs called March. Although the title relates to my old Marching Band days March also represents the concept of movement.
In a world of limited spaces movement is this amazing luxury. And movement brings our body and mind healing. Not to mention the rejuvenation in our life that occurs from simple movement.
I have been playing music with Joey Grijalva for a long time. In fact, we started in 1981. This song called The Room was made in 1989. And it was made on a cassette four-track Portastudio. Some say it has a Missing Persons influence. To me, it sounds like our band Shoot The Moon. Which included Joey, myself, John Wackerman, Mike Van Dyke, and Robin Kurzbard.
Although Moon Dream was the last song on a CD I self Published with Joey Grijalva in 1993 it was really a demo.
To start the thunderstorm heard in the intro was recorded live onto the recoreded song. And at that moment I did not know what the song was about. I was searching for an asnwer to an asnwer to death.
For one thing it was supposed to be two singers (one with a high voice and myslf). Since I couldnt find any high voiced covalists to sing it I sung both parts. As well the lyrics were recorded moments after they were written. I was trying to come to terms with the loss of a loved one and the song writing basically gave me the answer I was looking for.
MOON DREAM ( K. Hada/J. Grijalva)
Lyrics something in your eyes leaving me alone I feel life slipping I pick you up and take you home and be with me you seem so far you seem so lost i’m right here I couldn’t feel you go I didn’t feel you leaving your leaving?
Chorus i’ll see you again in dreams i’ll need you again in dreams i’ll feel you again in dreams i’ll lose us again in dreams
and when I look up and when I looked down that little look it caught me inside it held me so tight you knew it I wondered what you said I wandered through time i’m losing on one rainy day I see what you said you said ill see you again on dreams i’ll need you again in dreams I feel you again in dreams i’ll fill you all up in dreams
