Adventure Thing #40 - "While We're Still Young" Acoustic Demo (Patreon)

After posting last week's video of Hari's ripping licks, I realized that we actually hadn't even released any adventure things related to that song yet. 

I'm here to remedy that oversight, starting with the Acoustic Demo. Interestingly this song has stayed pretty consistent direction-wise throughout the process, other than a little proggy 7/8 flavor getting tossed into the pre-choruses. It's definitely the punk-iest song on the record so far, since many of the songs that ended up making the cut have more of a 90's alt vibe, which tends to hover the tempos down in the 100-120 range.

Lyrics:

No one seems to know
Where we're even going
But we know we better get there
Fast as hell

If all we have to show
Is all we end up knowing 
Well then maybe this parade is
Just as well

Tick tick tick the clock moves on
Brick by brick we build our song
Some friends stick and some get gone on the way

Chorus:
As mile by mile we go
Arm in arm or toe to toe
Fight or flight we're always on the run
While we're still young

Put the past behind
Faces to the future
We deny it but we're trying
The best we can

One step at a time
Used become the users
Until finally we get back
Where we began

Tick tick tick the clock moves on
Brick by brick we build our song
Some friends stick and some get gone on the way

As mile by mile we go
Arm in arm or toe to toe
Fight or flight we're always on the run
While we're still young
