Default Final Release: 'Right Here and Now - Journeys' - Song written for Jewel

Final Release of the 'Right Here and Now - Journeys' video.

I wrote this song for Jewel (Kilcher), though I'm still trying to get her to hear it. Alas, I think it's good enough to be a hit for Jewel, but in her absence, I've asked my friend, Cecilia Rockstead to sing it 'Right Here and Now'. Let me know what you think?

Final Release of the "Right Here and Now -Journey's Video


Artist: Cecilia Rockstead
Writer: Ray Palla
Music: Ray Holland & Ray Palla

Lyrics for this song can be found on Poetry.com by searching 'Ray Palla' and 'Right Here and Now'

Right Here and Now

When you came to me, somehow life started.
Across a lonely sea, you sailed to rescue me.
"No wind's too much to change a course we've charted!
And right here and now is where I want to be."

We promised on our hearts that we'll go on and on together.
I made my pledge to you, and you made your pledge and trusted me...
And I knew, "right here and now is where I want to be".

You know, I can't say if there is forever...
Maybe everything we have is all there'll ever be.
I'd like to think, we'll go on-and-on together,
Just right here and now, loving you is all I need.

Sometimes the water's rough... We keep our faces to the wind.
There are days the skies erupt and try to drown us if they can,
But we know, right here and now is where we want to be.

Sometimes the weather's rough... Just keep your head up through it all.
Days the skies tear-up and lightning strikes your very soul,
Keep looking for the sun... Another wind is sure to come,
And right here and now is where I want you to be.

Storms go on and on, and we'll go on with them forever.
I give my heart to you, and if you give your love, and trust in me,
Then it's true, right here and now is where we're meant to be.

I want you to be with me.

Hi Ray,
I'm glad to see you here. Welcome to the forum.
I moved your first post from Anything Jewel section to the Video section.
This song is really moving, and every Jewel fan is very excited and hopeful that Jewel will finally hear this great song.
Hope to see you more here and again welcome to the forum.

Yeah, welcome to the forum Ray...song's really nice.

Good luck getting it to Jewel though; it can be very difficult to get something like that to an artist; I seem to recall someone asking on the mailing list how to get some of their poetry to Jewel and MrBB said that often times things like that are screened out so she can't read them simply because of the legal liability she would have if something showed up that was similar to your work, Jewel would have no way of really proving it's original... and on top of that, it might even be unintentional where a line sticks in her mind subconsciously and doesn't realize it was borrowed. But regardless, good luck!
