A jazzy folk rock kind of tune inspired by the likes of Traffic, Steely Dan and Van Morrison.

I was jamming with a jazz guitar student who was in the music school at the University of Oregon. We talking about theory and different progression such as the 3-6 2-5 progression. I just wrote a tune using some of the theory. The lyrics were inspired by a romantic break up.

GOOD TIME by Rob Tobias
One bright morning, the sun was shining
You came a riding, and we started talking
You showed me the flowers in your bouquet
“Such bright colors,” I say,
I picked one and it flew away, just like a bird
You said it was a good sign
That we could have a good time
We should have a good time, tonight
You say that it’s a tight fit, and we should never quit
But I took a hard hit, and I just can’t seem to shake it
Now, another day goes by, I can see those bluebirds fly
Wipe these tears from our eyes
I think we both should have a good time
Don’t you want to have a good time
I want to have a good time, tonight
