about

Stepping out into the crevasse of his seventeenth year, the fool languishes in the new hope and shining freedom and the finals of adolescence. The fool leaves his nest in that year to the warm embraces of summer, friends, and the first glimmers of his own personal choices.

Missing It
Music and Lyrics by Julean Rai (BMI)
All Rights Reserved.

I told my brother I was moving out.
(Not like he didn't hear the argument).
I took a look around my room again;
Packed up the stuff that I'd be needin'.

It took a moment just to breathe it in;
Nobody calling for me;
Nobody coming for me...
'Ain't gotta' listen to her bellyachin'...
And I 'ain't missin' it.

'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kinda'-

Knocked on the door of my friend Ryan;
He promised me that I could move in...
Sure, his place smelled like cat and incense,
But I was happy just to move in.

Well, I took a walk down by the waterside...
Nobody calling for me;
Nobody coming for me...
'Ain't gotta' listen to her bellyachin'...
And I 'ain't missin' it.

'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
-freedom before
-freedom before...

...I stayed up until well after 3am.
Nothing complicated, just the situation.
Playing music with all my friends.
Nobody coming for me,
Nobody calling for me;
And I admit that I 'ain't used to it, no...
But I 'ain't missin' it.
Yeah this is livin', man!
And I 'ain't missin' nuthin'--

'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
'Ain't never felt this kind of freedom before...
Freedom before, freedom before, freedom before...

Boogie down now;
Boogie down now.

Boogie down now;
Boogie down now.

Boogie down now;
Boogie down now.

Boogie down now;
Boogie down now.

Boogie down now;
Boogie down now.

Boogie down,
Now...

(And I found him sitting in the armored chair
Where he was, where I was
Aren't we the lucky ones?
I said with a grin
River winds,
Let the Spring Begin:
Seven-ten
Waking up the neighbors with our tin-can band.

Eating out, sleeping in, all our high school friends
Skippin'; never had a lesson
Never needed them...

Wooden fife, passing an afternoon at windowside

Building up...
Curl up and kiss the River
One, One, Carry On!)
