Song information
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.

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...
