Moved Too Slow "Time Too Reflect" (including tab!!)

Welcome Back! This week I'll be going back to the first song that was ever recorded for the album!





Moved Too Slow. 

In the beginning it started off as a sort of a vision I had as I was enjoying a local show at the great Velour live music gallery. There was a girl that passed me as I stood, admiring the group who was playing. My gaze was captured as she walked past. I knew, based on the caliber of her beauty, that she had already been taken, and that her man was either somewhere in the crowd of hunks, OR at home waiting for her to get done being "artsy" The mere thought of the latter bothered me, and if you haven't registered yet, from the content of the album, things that bother me fuel the most interesting songs. In that moment, I couldn't help but think of all the girls that I'd wanted to pursue, or "tried" to pursue but never REALLY did. That moment inspired, and drew out, a lot of deep feelings I had concerning the matter.

I wrote the guitar part on one of Don Liechty's Taylor's! Couldn't tell you which Taylor. Either his less expensive one, or his more expensive one, or his son. One things for sure though, I know it wasn't his baby taylor, that one was broken at the time if I remember right. I remember clear as day, sitting in the office area upstairs in the Liechty Family home, and being so excited about the guitar part that was coming out! It was so cool to me! Easily the best part I had written! I developed the idea and continued pulling out of the darkest corners of my heart the lyrics that are now, "Moved Too Slow" It was so helpful, and I feel that it is one of those songs that, although extremely sad and descriptive, inspires change. Often times as we recognize the devastation of someone else, we are able to see our flaws more clearly, and hopefully are inspired to use that moment of clarity to change and become better. This song is definitely that way for me now. I look back and realize a lot that I needed to change. To this day, it still inspires me to remain stalwart in pursuing love. And to never let an opportunity pass me by. Again although it's terribly sad, it inspires me to be better, and I hope it does the same for you.

Fun Fact!!!

The original recording of the main vocal track had a portion in it that was extremely sharp! Sharp in the musical sense, not dynamically. It remained that way through the majority of the mixing process until almost the very end when it was digitally affected to be the correct note. The lyric "I've BID my heart away" Can YOU hear the correction??

I just wrote out a tab for this song in case there are any of you out there that want to learn to play it!
