“Candle of Life” (Moody Blues Cover)

By Chris Moore:

Welcome back to another all-new edition of the Laptop Sessions! This summer, Jim and I went through and listened to all the Moody Blues albums — the classic seven (from Days of Future Passed to Seventh Sojourn) and everything that followed (including Long Distance Voyager and the recent, awesome Strange Times). I had heard a lot of Moody Blues songs previously and had seen them live a couple times, but I never really appreciated them until this little summer exploration.

Anyway, this is a song from their album To Our Children’s Children’s Children — it was on the “Gold” collection, too, so it’s not THAT obscure. Not that I’ve been known for choosing obscure songs or anything… 🙂

Without further ado, here it is. Keep checking guitarbucketlist.com daily for a new session EVERY DAY from either Jim, Jeff, or myself. See you next time!

“All For You”
Sister Hazel

(Capo 1st fret)

Am        D
Finally I figured out,
But it took a long, long time.
But now there’s a turnabout,
Maybe ’cause I’m trying.

Em                 Am
There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
Em            Am                   D
I just can’t turn and walk away…

G               C(add 9)    Am  D        G
It’s hard to say what it is I   see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
G  C(add 9)   Am           D      G        C(add9) – D – G
Enough to     prove, it’s all for you.

I thought I’d seen it all,
‘Cause it’s been a long, long time.
But then we’ll trip and fall,
Wondering if I’m blind.

There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
I just can’t turn and walk away…

It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

MIDDLE:
Am               Em                  Am                     D
Rain comes pouring down, falling from blue skies.
Words without a sound, coming from your eyes…

SOLO:  G  –  C(add 9)  –  Am  –  D  (repeat)

Finally I figured out,
But it took a long, long time.
But now there’s a turnabout,
Maybe ’cause I’m trying.

There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
I just can’t turn and walk away…

SING A CAPPELLA:
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

GUITAR & VOCALS:
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

G               C(add9)      Am     D
It’s hard to say…
It’s hard to say…
Am  D       G          C(add 9) – D – G
It’s   all for you.

This is an outtake from a recent recording for the Laptop Sessions. I just had to share it, and I hope you find it as enjoyable as I did. (Keep in mind that this is completely unscripted — this is exactly how it happened; this is precisely my natural reaction!) I think it speaks for itself…

Check back for a new Original Wednesday Laptop Session, to be posted in about an hour or so.



“Marissa” (New Music from Indie Music Band MoU)

By Chris Moore:

It’s my honor to present my first original, non-yuletide tune for today’s edition of the Laptop Sessions. At first, I wasn’t sure what song I should play, as “Original Wednesday” comes but once every three weeks. I chose “Marissa,” a song from my 2003 album Something They Thought It Should Be, since it has always been one of my favorite songs to play on guitar. For over a year, it was instinctively the first song I would play whenever I picked up the guitar. Now, I’m playing it for you and hoping you’ll enjoy it!

If you like it, check out the album at the Fusco-Moore Store…

A session a day rolls on at guitarbucketlist.com, and I hope you come back tomorrow for another great session from Jeff!
