I can’t front. I’m a huge Melissa Polinar fan. Every time she drops new material I can’t wait to hear it. Her latest song is a good example of why that’s so. The track is called “Take It Easy” and is a piece she apparently started a couple years ago but just finished the other day. Sometimes you gotta let things marinate for a while. I hope she goes into the studio and lays this down proper because it has a great blueprint. And is it just me or can anyone else hear a Jesse Barrera like influence in her writing and melodies? It’s a good thing. You can buy the song for a buck via the widget below.
I literally finished this song tonight. I’ve had this melodic idea (verse/chorus) since August 2009 (said so according to Garageband). I guess I really do let things/ideas simmer, huh? Anyways, about the song… lyrically, they’re all my thoughts when I can’t sleep at night. It’s not a love song necessarily but my conversation with my dreams and where I want to be.
far, you’re just so far
but why do I feel you?
as though you’re sitting right next to me
but maybe I’m just trying to satisfy this compromiseand maybe while I play this guitar
you’ll show up in my view
telling me not to worry
then I wake up and find my way back to realityI hear the clock, it’s ticking
late at night it’s teasing me – oooo
I can feel the pressure
seeping deep inside of meChorus:
take it easy
go right ahead & don’t forget to breathe
though it’s not all that perfect
it’s not always “make it or break it”
take it easy
go on ahead, don’t be afraid to feel
no, i don’t have all the answers
but as long as we’re together
i’m GOnna take it easywhat have I become?
am I still the same me?
Is this the place where I want to be?
Wherever I go I try to find a place –
a home for my heart’s rhythmhear the clock, it’s tickin’
late at night it’s callin’ me – ooooh
I can see the future
that is where you’re taking mebridge:
take my time, enjoy the ride (take it easy)
we’ll be fine, all will align – take it… take it… take it…
