Liner Notes

My first ever morph..
- and I think the hardest part for me was the "using 50% of their material and 50% of yours" thing... I look at this through one eye, and I changed way less than 50%, but the other eye says I changed way more than 50%...

Anyway - I have a slammed few days coming up - and wanted to move this along, so I don't feel I had enough time to properly work out the vocal cadence, but I feel this is not a horrible representation of what I wanted.
But, I also feel Nadine handed me something beautiful... and I... well, I ended up here!
Looking forward to seeing where @andygetch goes from here!
haha - viva la morph!

Lyrics

Don't wait for the ground beneath you to crumble
There's probably something you can already do
It's easy to delay if you're irritated and you stumble
But you already know that somehow

Don't wait for a finely engraved invitation
You're as welcome as you've always been
Don't wait for the planets to align in the heavens
you know, that only happens every now and then

Don't wait 6x

Don't wait for the next time
There might not be no one
Find something that you need, love
And something, something to share

Take any opportunity
The next one you'll see will be
And you will start seeing
New ones, new ones everywhere

Don't wait 6x

A capable mind is a curse sometimes
It can think up so many excuses
Easily go down every figurative road
Still wondering what the truth is
Oh, what the truth is
what the truth is

Don't wait 12 x

Don't wait!

I'm from further down the morph chain...that's where the electric guitar started! Ha! Sounds great. Nice tone. Like the lazy relaxed vocal. This song keeps getting darker.

Love the dirty blues feeling, especially when that reverb lead comes in on top of your howling vocal... great stuff!

@debs 6d

Oh noooo, this isn't playing for me for some reason. I can't wait to hear it! I will be back!

I love the Billy Gibbons quality of your voice, and I love a shuffle.

@nadine 2w

I was so curious about your version. So you went for a dark hard rock and blues vibe. The solo part is cool.

So interesting to hear that this morph chain decided to keep most of the lyrics. Guess that speaks for @erbaer talent! Looking forward to @andygetch version.

Man this has got an infectious thick groove and I love the 'Don't Wait' title hook. The lyric is solid present moment living advice too. Gonna be a fun one to morph!

@damschen 2w

Well, I love this version and listened before I knew it was a morph. It has elements of R.L. Burnside-like feel and surf rock with that solo. Love the crunchy guitar and the reverby lead guitar. The message is fantastic. I will have to listen to the rest of the morphs!
