"Get it Right"...
 
Verse 1
 
See the man staring out to the sky in the night
He looks for answers in hope that the stars guide him right
He always questions his past but thinks that he's right

See the man watching out to the waves from his ship
He dreams of home, it's been years since he started his trip
Waves come crashing aboard and he feels his life slip
 
Chorus
 
His life is full of complications and he never seemed to get it right
He finds himself in situations and never seems to win a fight
 
Leads
Verse 2
 
See the man as he cries to Lord for some help
His family prays as they cry, while they plead for his health
Is it ever too late to call on the Lord
 
See the man as he picks up the pieces of life
He never knew just how much that he needed his wife
Now she's gone and he's dealing with all of his strife
 
Chorus

His life is full of complications and he never seemed to get it right
He finds himself in situations and never seems to win a fight
 
C......o.....m...p.......l........i.......c.....a.....t......i.....o.....n....s...
His life is full of complications and he never seemed to get it right
 
S........i........t........u......a........t........i........o.......n......s........
He finds himself in situations and never seems to win a fight

Rob Grant
 

A progressive rock ballad written by Rob Grant and DrC, jointly. This is a song that you can really appreciate Rob's skills as a writer, lyricist, bass player and enjoy DrC's excellent ear as a musician and producer. Just listen and you'll hear what I'm talking about. 

Rob started this song idea with just a bass and drum track, which was then sent to DrC. After taking it all in, DrC put his magical keys and musical mind to work.. It was then sent back to Rob for his melody and lyric ideas. Once that was completed the song was forwarded to Gary Carciello to add his always tasteful guitar. I must say from the background fills to the searing solos Gary has excelled with his tastefulness on Get It Right. He got it right and then some.

This song was written and recorded before I ever entered the Rayon Vert collaborative picture. The vocals were performed excellently by Rob with Gary's guitar, and DrC's keys/production but.......then I was added and mucked up the whole thing . It wasn't really me.... but rather the idea of putting together a Rayon Vert CD with a consistent vocal sound that included this song. Rob asked if I would redo the vox. We all thought Rob's take sounded fine, as is, but he insisted for the sake of a consistent vocal sound on the upcoming CD. So I caved in...... it was a real pleasure and honor for me to do this vocal. 

This un-mastered version has me (Farrell Jackson) doing all the vocals with DrC's new drum track. Plus a remix with a couple of new production ideas.

We hope you enjoy it!
