Description
A cleaned up, streamlined mix of 'Tern'. Lyrically it's an observation of the impatience of youth and the wisdom of age.
What's changed?
1) Intro percussion is gone
2) The sequenced synths are gone
3) The guitar solo is gone
4) New drum programming
5) Other tweaks (too many to mention here)

Lyrics
i don't mean to sound pretentious,
but you know she's going places,
and nothing phases her.
she's done with books,
and she's got the looks.
lookout world - she's running free.
and I've heard it said "we all end up dead"
she's having too much fun to care
now ask yourself,
Is there such a thing -
as too many social activities?
leave a message,
and wait and see,
give her time to check her diary.
and I've heard it said...
"a moving target is so much harder to hit"
(chorus)
and she'll sing if she wants
and she'll sing her song
you can tag along (that's okay)
just as long...
as you sing her song.
you'd better wipe the sleep from your eyes,
and keep 'em peeled and stay sharp if you care.
and you can seek her here,
and you can seek her there.
nobody said that life was fair?
And I've heard them say "every dog has his day"
so reach out and make a play.
(chorus)
(breakdown)
someday she's gonna hit the ground,
and if you're there - and you still care
then maybe she'll call you baby.
and you sing if you want (sing as one),
you can sing your song (hand in hand).
they can tag along - that's ok
just as long, together you can sing your song
daddy's little girl is all grown up,
it's too late now if he messed up,
daddy's little girl has flown the nest
fingers crossed - he tried his best.
but you know she's going places,
and nothing phases her.
she's done with books,
and she's got the looks.
lookout world - she's running free.
and I've heard it said "we all end up dead"
she's having too much fun to care
now ask yourself,
Is there such a thing -
as too many social activities?
leave a message,
and wait and see,
give her time to check her diary.
and I've heard it said...
"a moving target is so much harder to hit"
(chorus)
and she'll sing if she wants
and she'll sing her song
you can tag along (that's okay)
just as long...
as you sing her song.
you'd better wipe the sleep from your eyes,
and keep 'em peeled and stay sharp if you care.
and you can seek her here,
and you can seek her there.

Loved the original version, and this seems an improvement. Great
song for starters, the lyrics are particularly meaningful as a parent who
has been through the teenage daughter years! Love the tones on the
guitar, and your playing is just right on this - some very original
stylistic pieces. To me this is something I'd expect to hear on the radio
(on a good day) - shame about the solo going, although there's so
much good stuff happening on the guitar that it perhaps doesn't
matter. Nice bass lines. What did you use for the drum programming?
Vox excellent. AND it's about "the wisdom of age" - can't miss with
me.
Love it!
