Wishful Thinking

by Jon Gk

/
1.
“Why” is the question You are the answer How do I pass off Caring as banter Now’s not the right time ‘Cuz you have a good guy I’ma go go go Why do I stumble When I am near you Scratching my stubble If only you knew There’s others like me All waiting to see Him go go go And I’m like: no Just looking for that love Just looking for that ecstasy If it was up to you and me Oh our love would surely be Just looking for that love Looking for that ecstasy If it was up to you and me Oh our love would surely be Why do I worry About nothing that won’t be How do I move on On from that old me Now’s not the best time ‘Cuz you have a good guy I’ma go go go And I’m like: no Still looking for that love Still looking for that ecstasy If it was up to you and me Oh our love would surely be Still looking for that love Looking for that ecstasy If it was up to you and me Oh our love would surely be Yeah it’s all just in my head It won’t be the last time I’ve been misled By my own wishful thinking Oh won’t you give it a rest

about

This is a project that I started writing in 2018. It has gradually developed into a six-minute, two-part song. It has evolved through various versions and pays homage to some of my musical heroes (Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Gino Vannelli). Maybe you'll hear some other influences in there as well.
