about
Trip the Light
By Stan Snow
This song is about the conversation that sometimes takes place when people are in the beginning phases of a relationship. It could also apply to the phases of a project. In business, we used to jokingly refer to the 6 phases of a project as 1. Enthusiasm, 2. Disillusionment, 3. Panic, 4. Search for the Guilty, 5. Punishment of the Innocent, and 6. Praise and Honors for the Non Participants. In relationships sometimes there is a spark that leads to infatuation, and then leads to disillusionment when the flaws that are inherent in all of us, become more visible. We all have to find our way. And sometimes our paths align, and other times they don’t. Navigating all of this depends on the chemistry of the people involved, and a shared desire to find mutually beneficial common ground, or not.
I wrote this tune using a Gretsch Duo Jet electric guitar played through a Divided by 13 amp. The guitar solo is played on an Xotic Strat through a ’59 Fender Twin. Jed came up with the piano hook and played some great Hammond organ. I am also playing two acoustic guitars, a 12 string Guild and a Gibson SJ-200.
lyrics
Breathe, under fire
Don’t give up, find the line
I can’t see, what you see in me sometimes
Don’t you know that I’m just about to lose my mind
Trip the Light
Don’t take the road inside
You’ve got to lose your way
To work it out
Darkness falls
Upon the strongest minds
You’ve got to keep you eyes
Beyond the dawn
Try, to remember
What gave in, to get you there
Don’t you feel, what you think you feel….to be.
I can’t say, what you think, you, feel, for me.
Why give in
To let your soul break free
You’ve got to read the writing
On the stone
Trip the Light
To dance into the sky
Don’t look behind the past
To find your mind
Trip the Light
Don’t take the road inside
You’ve got to lose your way
To work it out
Darkness falls
Upon the strongest minds
You’ve got to keep your eyes
Beyond the dawn
