I wrote this to Sarah’s poem at the same time we did “unfortunate”. I used the same two chords for both songs but flipped the pattern on this one. The result is a happy bouncy feel.

lyrics

I want to experience you more, as I won’t remember myself
As the world, turns her neck to stare, are you willing, will you hear
It’s alright don’t be sorry, it’s alright, don’t be sorry
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, not to be sorry
I breathed, a little too many of your words
And at night, it’s still day to me, are you willing, will you hear
It’s alright, don’t be sorry, it’s alright, don’t be sorry
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, not to feel sorry
Watched you run, and laugh those days away
An emerging grimace in this moment
It’s alright, don’t be sorry, it’s alright, don’t be sorry
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, not to be sorry
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa

Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
