FREDERICK MOORE & JOHN PITARRESI
GLOW
Winter’s here and the roads are half plowed
Too quick a turn and your world flips around.
It’s best to find a big room with a band good and loud
And bodies that move ’til their heat surrounds you.
We should glow while we can,
Heaven’s not sending extra time to me and you.
Take me now
And I’ll love you complete,
Why not take what is free?
It’s been given to us tonight.
The silences in the things that you say,
That your closed eyes relay, make me want to believe.
Let’s leave this place for a room warm and dry,
Make your requests, I’ll be there to comply.
We’ve been witnessing the town’s decline,
Now we’re soaking up its beer and wine,
We’ll drink the money for my parking fines,
And that’s just fine with me.
I got to know now if you want it for real,
There’re things I’m wanting to share,
things I’m wanting to feel.
It’s just you and me the outside world is black,
If we take the first step there’ll be no turning back.
We should glow while we can,
Heaven’s not sending extra time to you and me.
Take me now
And I’ll love you complete,
Why not take what is free,
It’s been given to us tonight.
We drank the money for my parking fines,
And that’s just fine with me.
In our post high school years John and I were part of a very nice club scene in our hometown of Niagara Falls, NY. Although I certainly didn’t fully appreciate it at the time, I now see how special it was that we young Niagara musicians could accrue hundreds, even thousands of hours of stage time during our teens. And for the non-musicians, what a great feeling it was to be nineteen and battling a harsh winter’s night in order to walk into one of the many nice clubs to sample yet another local band while savoring the evening’s possibilities. “Glow” expresses our affectionate memories of those years, and of the many excellent musicians we learned so much from during those years.
