about

'Moving On' originally started out as a short instrumental piece written as a possible theme for a drama series, similar to that of the same title recently shown on TV ... that instrumental version will appear at the end of this album as a bonus track.
My good friend Mark J.Bennett @markjbennett , whose vocals are featured on this album, suggested adding some lyrics and vocals and making it an uplifting song to end the album. I extended the arrangement and Mark sent me a guide vocal and lyrics which seemed to me to give the song a Robert Wyatt feel and the lyrics put me in mind of my son's situation, being in hospital for coming up for a year now. I added more lyrics and sang the main vocal with him in mind, though the lyric is pretty universal really ...

'Moving On' ~ Lavallin * Bennett © 2015

Instrumental Intro:

What do you say,
when life don't go your way?
What do you need, when nothing you do ever succeeds?

Keep calm,
Away from harm,
Be strong,
Moving on ...

When you feel down,
and there's no-one around,
who would help you feel,
that life is meaningful and real

Keep calm,
Away from harm,
Be strong,
Moving on,
Moving on, Moving on ...

We all get tired,
disillusioned, uninspired.
We all need a lift,
from someone who really has that gift.

Keep calm,
Away from harm,
Be strong,
Moving on ...

What do you say,
when things don't go your way?
What do you need,
when nothing you do ever succeeds?

Keep calm,
Away from harm,
Be strong,
Moving on, Moving on,
Moving on ...

Instrumental break:

Just keep moving on ... you see ... you see ...
Hold your head up high,
Keep moving ... you'll get there you see ...
Just moving on ...
... away from harm,
Be strong,
Moving on

Instrumental break:

Keep calm,
Away from harm,
Be strong,
Moving on ...
