Here is another song built up around a rhythm guitar track, with a full capo on the third fret and a half capo on the fifth fret.

Practiced playing the rhythm guitar for a couple of days and then recorded, mixed and
mastered the song over the following four days.

I think this will be last of the double capo capers! It's too weird for me trying to figure out the matching chords on the organ when I have no idea what chords I'm playing
on the rhythm guitar! Lol...

Anyway, I hope some of you folks can enjoy this little experiment.

Be well my friends!

Lyrics
LIVING FOR THE DAY

I 
Well the clock is winding down,
as the hours slip on by;
and the sun is up and shining.
It's not yet time to fly...

CHORUS:
Tomorrow is sheer fantasy.
Yesterday's a dream.
We live and breathe in the here and now;
---it's where we're meant to be.

II
The days they whizz on by
like cars on a speeding train.
Is it only an illusion,
---a trick played by our brains?

CHORUS:
Tomorrow is sheer fantasy.
Yesterday's a dream.
We live and breathe in the here and now;
---it's where we're meant to be.

III
Moments are wasted,
we cannot get them back;
focused on the future, 
or clinging to the past.
Here in the present,
like actors on a stage;
our choices they define us,
while living for the day.

IV
Sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell,
---all happens in the NOW!
Joy and sorrow, love and hate,
lift us up or drag us down!

CHORUS:
Tomorrow is sheer fantasy.
Yesterday's a dream.
We live and breathe in the here and now;
---it's where we're meant to be.

Splendid listen Mike 
Lyrics are spot on 
And the guitar with your keyboard sound 
Mesh like hands in gloves

Thanks Dyl. The dual capo experiment is over for the time being anyway.
On most of my newer songs I do use a full capo on the third fret. It helps with my singing. I can't hit those higher notes like I used to and with the capo on I can sing in a slightly lower register. As for the guitars... my long two 1/2 years long hand injury is about 98% healed. It's good to be able to play again!

Hey thanks Charlie. I was doing a lot of more folky songs for a while and it was getting to me, so last last couple have been noisy ones. Might do another noisy rocker soon! OR I might do another folky tune. My Muse hasn't informed me yet...

Thanks for your concern Pete. My fingers came out of it OK.
Once upon a time I did get them tangled up in blue whilst listening
to Dylan, but I've long since recovered...

I've heard of people being allergic to capos, so I kept some Benadryl on hand just in case... Thankfully, none was needed!

Thanks Ray. Been a couple decades since I had a nightmare!
Oh alright... I've recorded a few nightmares but that's entirely different.
Glad you enjoyed this bro!

Thanks Dan. I appreciate the enthusiastic note.
There were a few minor glitches though so I've already
remixed the piece! Perfectionism can be a curse...
