She’s A Live Wire

Verse 1 –
So many faces, she tries everyday just to make it
To find someone just to be friends, ‘coz in the end
It’s better that way
One year passes, it’s just one that’s closer to havin’
The face to face that she turns from, and it’s why
She’s on the run
Can’t find, anyone around
It all seems to just let here down…

Chorus –
‘Coz she’s a live wire, in a small town
Can’t get away from the vices she’s found
She’s a burnin’ fire, and she can’t cool down
One day she’ll leave it behind, but for now
She’s a live wire.

Ah growing up. Not the same for everyone now is it! Musically, this song is a real departure for me because it has a “New Country” push to it (Ya never know what you’re going to write at 5:00 a.m.) I even threw in some Mandolin for added flavor. However, the lyrical content is a story that is typically not gender specific. Anyone can go through this. The feeling of wanting to share your journey with someone but knowing that it has to wait. It’s a tug and pull that gives you feelings you sometimes don’t know what to do with. Being a young person with hopes and dreams you want right now but they don’t happen and it seems like it will be forever before they do. Then, out of desperation and loneliness, Mr. or Mrs. “Temptation” comes along and talks you into things that you wouldn’t do other wise. When we grow up, we later call this a momentary lack of reasoning, or a visit from Mr./Mrs. “What was I thinking”, and the list goes on. This list of doing things you will probably regret later is also very long but will sometimes include a vice of some kind. A momentary “take me away from this feeling so I can cope” type of vice. They never work. In the end it’s just time to stand, suck it up and move on. And isn’t that what a lot of lessons in life are like. In the heat of the moment, knowing what you seem to want right now isn’t happening, may never happen, but it’s just time to take in what you do have and be thankful. Nope, not an easy lesson, and when it comes down to it, this lesson is not age specific either because feelings transcend age. The hope is that we get better at making these decisions as we get older.
This song went down on paper in just a few minutes, and usually when that happens for me I believe that it was written for a specific reason or person. Even if it’s just for one person to stop in their tracks and assess their life and say “Wait a minute” before they make a decision that could regret, then the song has done what it was written for. If this is you and you’re reading this, stand, hold on to your dreams. You will make it!

Verse 2 –
She dreams of the day when, a love comes crashin’ just like lightning
A man that will take her away, she can’t stay, in this town no more
It’s predestined, her heart lies somewhere else that’s waitin’
She felt it since she was a child, now it’s time, for her heart to fly
Can’t find anyone in this town, it all seems to just let her down…. Chorus.

This will be the second ballad on the Revolution CD. You can get personal updates on the release of this song and the others at rockin@rhonvanerman.com

“Angel In Disguise”

Finding your “Angel In Disguise”

Have one? Hope for one? Ever have one touch your life and seem to vanish to never be seen again? Or better yet, ever have one snatch you up from the depths and become your lifetime “Angel In Disguise”?
I have a little saying with myself, {umm, talking to yourself is a sign of genius 😀 } when I drive out of the driveway and put the car in D I say, “Ok Rhon, the race begins” or “Game on”. This sets my head straight so I’m a bit more prepared to change the things I can, accept the things I cannot change, and most important, to know the difference of the two. This is one of the great challenges of life isn’t it? Sometimes I do pretty well and other times I fail miserably.
Since the time I can remember I’ve always wanted a soul mate. This runs very deep into my being, even to the point of my spiritual beliefs and the truths therein. “When the two become one” is a great mystery that is a true miracle and something that most of us look for. Well, there is another plight, “look for”. It is perfectly combined with two other words called balance and timing. Which brings us to the balance of looking for and finding the right person at the right time. Eh, no problem, it just falls into place right? Well, maybe for some, but not for many, and definitely not me.
In all honesty I take full responsibility for wanting to push this before it was time. The want, overcame the ready for it. And you know what, in hind sight, all the tough times got me to where the timing was perfect for my Angel In Disguise to pick me up and make all the tough times fade into the past.
I will be forever indebted to a childhood friend of mine picking up my telephone call one day and after listening to my grumblings about things not working out again, she said “There’s a girl I work with you need to come see”. Well I did, and the rest as they say is History in the making.
I hope this song is inspirational to those who are looking, waiting, and have already found their soul mates. The journey can sometimes not be anything like what you thought it would be, but neither is the outcome, because it’s better than dreams or thoughts. Because it’s real, with a cup that never fills. Here’s to hoping you find your “Angel In Disguise”.

Verse 1 –

I’ve been lied to, I’ve been broken down before
But this time, deep inside, there’s a feelin’ that I know I’ve been waiting for
I can see forever, when I look into her eyes
And see dreams that I’ve dreamed, it’s time for me to wake up and realize
This time, it feels like, she is the Angel I needed

Chorus –

She takes the weight from my heart, so I can breathe again inside
She will be by my side, and be my Angel In Disguise

Verse 2 –

It’s never-ending, what she does to me, feels just like the first time
Like it’s always been and will always be
I can’t fight, what feels right, she is the reason I waited

Chorus –

Bridge –

She must have come, down from heaven….
