New Song - Existential Blues/Living In The Moment - 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

Rough demo of a new song, the first from my latest guitar. The tune came out while noodling in front of the fire one day, then the lyrics came later, probably partly influenced by the book I'm reading atm - Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac.
Not sure what to call it?? Existential Blues? Existential Angst Blues?... or Living In The Moment?
I messed up the end, so faded it out... (Tried to do another take, but my voice started giving out. Fed up with bad throat!!)

LYRICS

When you think that the world is at your feet,
that’s when the rug is pulled away.
So I’m not waiting for tomorrow,
I will just enjoy today.

CHORUS
I’m living in the moment, living in the moment,
don’t know what’s around the bend.
Living in the moment, living in the moment,
I know everything must end.

I am walking down that long, long road,
got nothing better to do.
When I get to the crossroads, doesn’t matter which way I go.

CHORUS

Inst

When I’m sitting on the mountain,
I climbed so many times with you,
I won’t wonder what I’m doing here,
I will just enjoy the view.

Hi, I really love the song and the lyrics and the way you sing it. Especially
I’m living in the moment, living in the moment,
don’t know what’s around the bend.
Living in the moment, living in the moment,
I know everything must end.

Really sweet and kind!

Nice finger picking to !!

All is good,
Rick Washbrook

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on January 10, 2018 at 2:00pm: All great titles - the obvious one is "Living in the Moment", I'd say. Not the best reason to go with it, but a solid title nonetheless! This is very enjoyable - thanks for posting along with the lyrics! Keep up the GREAT work, B!

Comment by bemuzic on January 10, 2018 at 10:55am: thanks AGP...I didn't know that Fats Domino song, so looked it up, and yes I see what you mean!

Comment by AGP # on January 10, 2018 at 9:41am: Very enjoyable Lyrics and Vocals B, love the sound of the new build, has a bit of a Banjy type sound to it, which is good!, to me the Tune is reminiscent of the late great Fats Domino song I'm Walking which is also good! :-)
