JPF Home Page Forums Thread Like Summary - Bounce the Ball

Just finished this one.
Does the mandolin solo fit or does it need electric guitar there?

Bounce the Ball © 2022 Vic Arnold
V1
Somewhere in a far off town
I saw a mountain tumble down
Dark and heavy thunder sound
Oh, how the mighty fall
Try to stop it rolling on
You will find it can't be done
But someday it'll all be gone
Down a big black hole
V2
Let your mind fly to the stars
Wave goodbye to Earth and Mars
Find out where the aliens are
Say you've come to call
Waited all my life it seems
But I've seen you in my dreams
I'm the King and you're the Queen
In our hallowed hall
Ch.
Bounce the ball and follow through
Do the things you want to do
Do for those that do for you
To yourself be true
Inst.
V3
There are things I've never seen
and places that I've never been.
Sometimes I feel I'm in between
a long climb and a fall
Up and down's the way life goes
Up the fast lane, down the slow
Where it ends nobody knows
Like a bouncing ball
Ch.
Bounce the ball and follow through
Do the things you want to do
Do for those that do for you
To yourself be true
Ch.2
Bounce the ball into the air
Try to catch it if you dare
Jump out of that easy chair
Into the big wide blue

Oh you tell this story oh, so well, drawing us in with it's compelling words. You touch on where it is all headed and the compassion and sorrow in your voice is perfection, expressively and musicially. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
