Story Behind The Song

See Matty above.

Song Description

This is a raw demo with 1 pass on the vocals by yours truly straight to cassette, if you remember those. Studio hit by lightning required a lot of patching around the toasted parts, so no mix or master... just a sweet little demo miraculously recorded just the same. Gets cool lighted drum stick hits just before the title/hook, and a sweet HARMONICA on the instrumental bridge in lieu of this steel guitar solo.

Lyrics

A REAL GOOD THING
demo
Words & Music: Joules LaHae aka Gregor Rice

Raw demo, 1 pass straight to cassette unedited !

Verse:

Matty, my boy, you are a young man now
And you say you want to ride the range
A cowboy's life if your heart and soul
And you wouldn't ever want to change
You say you're stayin' clear of the city lights
As far as you can get
And with your Daddy's fire and your Momma's glow
You'll be alright, you bet

Chorus:

Your gonna follow your heart, Matty
Right from the start
You're gonna follow your dreams
At times though difficult it seems
You're gonna follow your Light
Through every storm in the dead of night
You're gonna follow your heart, Matty
And That's A Real Good Thing

Verse:

Matty, you say you want to settle down
Find a wife and build a simple home
With a river for fishin' and a bluegrass yard
For a couple children all your own
And you'll teach 'em well like your Daddy did
With a soft and loving hand
And you'll hold 'em close til the day you die
And you're taken to the land

Chorus:

Your gonna follow your heart, Matty
Right from the start
You're gonna follow your dreams
At times though difficult it seems
You're gonna follow your Light
Through every storm in the dead of night
You're gonna follow your heart, Matty
And That's A Real Good Thing

Instrumental Bridge ~ gets a HARMONICA instead of steel guitar

Verse:

Matty, you say you gotta live your Truth
If you're gonna stand a clear, free man
And your freedom will lead you to a greater dream
Than your vision when you first began
When you find your bliss in this great big world
You guard it with your life
There's no greater love in God's green earth
Than your children and your wife

Chorus:

Your gonna follow your heart, Matty
Right from the start
You're gonna follow your dreams
At times though difficult it seems
You're gonna follow your Light
Through every storm in the dead of night
You're gonna follow your heart, Matty

Your gonna follow your heart, Matty
Right from the start
You're gonna follow your dreams
At times though difficult it seems
You're gonna follow your Light
Through every storm in the dead of night
You're gonna follow your heart, Matty
And That's A Real Good Thing
