about

Another very special song. I'm not sure exactly where the idea came from but all of a sudden one day I had this thought in my mind, "what if two people who have been together for a long time met each other again for the very first time, would their life play out the same as it has? Would they be attracted to each other like before? Would they fall in love and live happily ever after like they have?" All these scenarios started pouring into my head and I started to write some ideas down on paper and by the end of the day I had the basic structure with some lyrics and a rough idea of what the melody might sound like. When I picked up the guitar I found the Cmaj7 chord, a beautiful chord that always seems to twist emotion out of my heart, and I sang a basic melody into my digital recorder. Over the course of the next two days I rewrote most of the lyrics and recorded several updated versions until it all came together on December 21, 2013. I think this may be the most beautiful melody I've ever written, and I'm going to try really hard to get it placed in a film, I think it would be perfect over the end credits of a movie with a romantic theme. It’s a theme that I don’t think has ever been explored in a song and I’m really excited about this song’s potential to appeal to a wide audience. It’s another song with a really beautiful nylon string guitar solo by Terry Miggins. It's a very simple song, it starts with the chorus and there's really only one verse, then the chorus again, the guitar solo and it ends with a couple lines from the chorus and the Cmaj7 chord. I almost hate to say it but it's another song that, at least for me, sounds a bit like something The Beatles might have done, or maybe Paul McCartney solo. I think this might be melody that will be hard to get out of your head, and that's a good thing. I really like this song and I think the recording we made is really good. We worked hard on it, it’s actually not an easy song for me to sing but I think I pulled it off.

lyrics

The First Time Again
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2014 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

-chorus-
What if we met for the first time again,
Would we still fall in love like before,
Would you try to impress me with all those cute stories,
And lead me out on the dance floor...
How would it be if we did it all over,
Would we feel the same way as back then,
Would we start off together on the road to forever,
If we met for the first time again...

Sometimes I wonder how we found each other,
Two strangers alone in the night,
Still looking all over for one special lover,
To make fairy tale dreams come alive...

I knew that the first time I looked in your blue eyes,
That something inside me had changed,
Now I wonder if we'd find the same perfect love life,
If we met for the first time again...

-repeat chorus-
-instrumental break-

What if we met for the first time again,
Would we feel the same way as back then,
Would we start off together on the road to forever,
If we met for the first time again...
Would we start off together on the road to forever,
If we met for the first time again...
