about

In this minor key ballad, “I’ll Be Leaving Soon” the instrumentation is similar to the first two songs with the grand piano, double bass and strings. Additional colourings are added in the instrumental section from the electric guitar, supporting a violin solo. On the choruses a harp patch is used, again adding another colour. The orchestration frames a beautifully crafted lyric about moving on in life.

lyrics

I’ll Be Leaving Soon

Suitcase in the hallway
I packed it years ago
but no destination
no vision and no goal
I’ve transited my life
but only in my mind
journeys without travelling
so many million times

Feeling like a photograph
an image, just a still
an instance that was captured
and frozen in it’s will
My life has gathered dust
as I sit here in the dark
entangled in a cobweb
cradled by a question mark

But now I know –
I‘ll be leaving soon!
I am almost on my way
The present will be past
Oh and I’ll be moving fast
I’ll be moving on – at last!

Habits seem to stick to me
like gum under my sole
memories cling like ivy
my mind’s on cruise control
now everything’s in motion
cause nothing stays the same
flowing like a river
I am moving on again

Now I know –
I‘ll be leaving soon
I am almost on my way
The present will be past
oh and I’ll be moving fast
I’ll be moving on – at last!

Cause now I know –
I‘ll be leaving soon
I am almost on my way
The present will be past
oh and I’ll be moving fast
I’ll be moving on – at last!
The present will be past
I’ll be moving fast,
I’ll be moving on at last!

At last, at last, at last…
