about
My pal Jack Dalby came to me with a song idea that he and another pal, Mike DiCarlo had been working on. Mike had come up with the melody, and Jack had written some lyrics. Jack said it needed an intro and a guitar solo, and asked if I would help. He sent me a demo, and I came up with a simple intro, solo, and ending. I also thought it needed another verse, so I wrote one and put it in the final recording. Jack and Mike were both happy with the result, so here is "Just One Day."
One interesting side note: the electric guitar I used is a vintage Gibson ES-125 TDC that belongs to my step-brother, Mark Stein. Mark isn't a guitar player, but it used to belong to his father, Charlie, and Mark inherited it when his dad passed away. Mark graciously entrusted it to me for a while so I could use it in a recording... and this is the recording!
lyrics
VERSE 1
Just one day, is all I'm askin'
Just one day, the time is passin'
Come what may, I'll find a way to make this dream come true.
VERSE 2
Just one day, I think I’ve fallen
Just one day, my love is callin’
Don’t delay, please let me know that you feel the same
BRIDGE
In just one day, I believe, two hearts can learn to love.
And when I pray, to find the way, a voice inside keeps telling me to say...
VERSE 3
Just one day, 24 hours
Just one day, in sun or showers
If you stay, I'll be holding you in these arms
BRIDGE
In just one day, I believe, two hearts can learn to love.
And when I pray, to find the way, a voice inside keeps telling me to say
VERSE 4
Just one day, it's now or never
Just one day, I'm thinking forever
If I may, I'm gonna spend my life with you
OUTRO
My life with you
Spend my life with you.

Imagine working most of your adult life as nothing more
than a cog in the corporate machine. Then imagine
finding
yourself in a community college classroom, led by one of
your musical heroes. That happened to me, after I ran into
Jamie Hoover of the Spongetones at a Dairy Queen. His generosity in sharing his vast knowledge of studio techniques with me has led me to releasing my very first EP....more

Straightforward & clean. Classic arrangements that strike me - dare I say - Beatle-esque. Not overproduced. Eytan’s signature if you will ;<) @dutchmn007
