So planning this kayaking trip with my friends, and I guess it’s sort of symbolized all the hopes of summer, and what is summer if not the hopes for the year? I went Kayaking Maine once many years ago as a camp counselor in Maine, and have wanted to do it again every since, but was having trouble finding someone who could help us locally with the gear and local knowledge of Maine’s channels and bays.
So I was in such a good mood after talking with Michael of Stonington Kayak Outfitters in Maine that this tune just immediately popped into my head and I wrote it down, because something had become possible that hadn’t before, and I was excited.
And on piano it sort of starts on this A-C#-E chord
tryin some words
here’s the big feelin version
With a more complete verse and a cool riff at the end
It is a one star in the sky before all them in the sky git time it’s the one shore big and wide it’s the one shore coming near
and tide crash going hit the tide pulls you in the tide crash pushin you riptide hit your head
drift down to the sandy shore underneath it’s another kind of shore another kind of shore
when did you you lose your home did you find a way to replace do you remember names I only brought colors
another idea
hey big feelin where’d you go
hey big feelin been feelin low
you musta gone on the road again
I know you get so restless
I moved to new york sold my car
starting to think i’ll always have this guitar but I
gave the rest up tryna find you
opened every door like you told me to
hey big feeling drop a pin
can’t recognize you all the people that you’ve been
maybe one day I’ll know your name
but hey big feeling never the same
will I find you in august isle au hat
the dancing of the water of the waves down below
I know I will don’t stand still
hey big feeling that’s the source of the thrill
and I am proud of myself for holdin on when it got hard
I guess so but I dunno why how many choices did I even make
hey big feelin you got me along for the ride
hey big feeling always one step behind
