C-90

Dave Egan

C-90 is a collection of songs whose melodies, chord sequences and, in some cases, arrangements, Dave Egan recorded onto cassette tapes, mainly C-90s, back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s or, to put it another way, Circa - 1990. This was done either by way of bouncing from one cassette recorder to another or, later, using a four track recorder. On reflection, the original lyrics for these songs were no longer particularly relatable to Dave and so he rewrote them to create a juxtaposition of today’s lyrics on Circa '90’s music and a middle aged man’s words superimposed on a young man’s melodies.

    Really Coming Down

    Track 4 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan Lyrics: Really Coming Down Hey it’s really coming down… I really thought the rain clouds would have thinned by now But it seems the gods have still got tears to cry There’s a roll of thunder in the Western sky As we cower underneath the shade of vines I really thought by now we would be out of it But it seems the fates have still got more to give Like a clash of wavelengths in a minor key As our glasses chime to drown disharmony, it can be hard to see that Even though there’s darkness cross the sky Honey you know we’ve been through worse before and we’re still alive ‘Cos we’re in this thing for the long run and we won’t give up ‘til the rain is done And it won’t be long, if we’ll both be strong, ’til we sip under sunnier skies I didn’t know the world we’ve worked so hard to make Could work its ways to make things seem so hard Maybe it’s the minor in a major key whose choral resolution is our destiny, well we soon will see ‘cos Even though there’s lightning in the sky Honey you know this plane has seen much worse yet still we fly Cos we’re in this thing for the long run and we will not sleep ‘til the day is done If we’ll both be strong then it won’t be long ’til we’re sipping under sunnier skies We’ll be stepping into the sunshine, pushing on to the best of times If we’ll both be strong then it won’t be long ’til we’re sipping under sunnier skies Hosted on Acast.
