about

It has been over 18 months since my last release, but I am back (albeit for the final time under the “Diyath Yavin” moniker) with my sixth single. Despite a seemingly dormant 2015, much preparatory work was organised with regard to assembling a band during the course of last year. In addition, around three albums’ worth of recorded songs have been temporarily shelved pending imminent further development on subsequent professional projects.

That being said, “Just Like the Marshal Said” is a relatively early songwriting attempt of mine centring on a young bloke’s dreams of making the big time. Wherever possible, I have tried to remain faithful to the lyrics and structure of the originally taped demo from a couple of years ago, which imparts a sound reminiscent to that of my initial recordings. Thank you for all the support I have received from the time I started my solo career way back in 2012 and peace out!

lyrics

VERSE 1

Keeping your thoughts at bay, it ain’t too easy
Just like the marshal said, these things tend to fill your head
Flouting every duty for the boogie
Get the ivories back, or any moment I’ll be slack

CHORUS

Here I go, my heart abandons my mind’s commands
On a Sunday afternoon
My dreams seem so close; so close I can nearly touch them
But there’s still a way to go

VERSE 2

Flying a thousand miles across the ocean
Could never quench my thirst, nor make the bubble burst
The chance of fame has got me really going
Discreetly looming there, distinction lies I swear

[INSTRUMENTAL PIANO SOLO]

VERSE 3

Keeping your thoughts at bay, it ain’t too easy
Just like the marshal said, these things tend to fill your head
Flouting every duty for the boogie
Get the ivories back, or any moment I’ll be slack

CHORUS

Here I go, my heart abandons my mind’s commands
On a Sunday afternoon
My dreams seem so close; so close I can nearly touch them
But there’s still a way to go

[INSTRUMENTAL GUITAR SOLO]

[END PIANO SOLO]
