Right Book

Backstory:
Right Book initially began as a solo project of the seasoned singer-songwriter, Thomas ‘Tommy’ O’Dell, known for his sharp lyrics and knack for storytelling. Tommy spent his early years playing in small coffee shops across his hometown, Anchorage, Alaska. One night, during a live performance, bassist Leon Prescott and drummer Alex ‘Mouse’ Rogers were so impressed by Tommy’s unique style that they instantly decided to collaborate with him. That was when Right Book was born. They chose the name Right Book, symbolizing their shared love for literature, and their belief in music as a narrative device akin to novels, with an ability to tell stories that touch lives.

Title:
“Pages of Time”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] I found a letter, [D] tucked in a book,
[Em] Pages worn and yellow, [C] carried a look,
[G] Words were dancing, [D] in the fading light,
[Em] Whispering of a story, [C] in the middle of the night.

(Chorus)
[G] Pages of time, [D] where stories unfold,
[Em] Love and loss, [C] tales untold,
[G] Every word, [D] a silent cry,
[Em] In the pages of time, [C] life passes by.

(Verse 2)
[G] A lover’s quarrel, [D] a soldier’s sigh,
[Em] Dreams of tomorrow, [C] under the sky,
[G] Within these pages, [D] secrets lie,
[Em] The echo of laughter, [C] the last goodbye.

(Chorus)
[G] Pages of time, [D] capturing the sun,
[Em] Battles we’ve won, [C] and things we’ve done,
[G] Wrinkled lines, [D] each a memory,
[Em] Pages of time, [C] an endless sea.
