about
• "... And if I ever was to sing it,
It would probably sound like this ... in the morning."
• It had been 35 years since I last went forward as a lead singer. "Back To Scales Tonight", my first album ever (Barclay Records) had long seemed unconvincing to my ears, even though I felt good about some of the writings; my opinion was, listening back a few years later, I had not done justice to them, at least not to the level I was aiming at. Nice try but, either you have it, or you don't. Therefore I went instrumental most of my life, never stopping writing songs, but letting others do the singing and allowing my voice to do only backing vocals here and there.
• So why try again ? Not that I changed my mind one iota, nor that I pretend I've made any progress as a lead. But simply because I realised I had a distinct sound, altogether with a - quite likeable for some - distinct approach and a distinct accent that, even though not fully comfortable with personnally, I felt I should - and I could - live with, if to present my songs in both their original "authentic" format and their intricate realities, before I would let seasoned singers have a go at it, as I did many a time in my life (with Level 42 mostly), and which I clearly intend to carry on doing. Any volunteer ? Be my guest.
• I've been wrestling with that idea for decades, which partially explains the pace of my musical activities. Maybe my stage acting got me more confident, but I've made my mind now, and I'm glad I did. There it is: "In The Morning", a song I've been nurturing for years. The fact is, I had it sung, mixed and ready for release, way before I recorded "Easy Lazy Blues", the instrumental version.

<IN THE MORNING> Lyrics by Wally Badarou 02.09.2013
<V1A>
_ It's two in the morning !
_ All day long made a fool of myself.
_ That's all_ I can think about.
_ Her eyes on my cigar ...
_ Ain't no use, _ let it all go.
_ _ Chase another chance to shine.
<V1B>
_ I need the break, I need to pull out.
_ You know something / ain't no night rest / till I leave it down the ground.
_ I know the trick, I know the reasons.
_ I can make it, yeah, sure.
_ I can succeed, I mean tomorrow.
<B1>
_ Cause I can see, your way, my way now.
_ Cause I can feel, both ways, our way now.
_ Cause I can read, their way, always now.
_ Cause I can tell, cause boy I swear,
<C1>
_ I'll be in the morning, be your man in the morning.
_ I'll be a new man in the morning, huh huh, oh yeah.
<V2A>
_ (I mean) It's four in the morning !
_ Kind of weird, (I've) been up all night.
_ I hardly got the time to rest.
_ My life_is_in shambles.
_ (Too) many do this, too many do that,
_ Just couldn't make it through the day.
<V2B>
_ I need the sleep, cos' I need a rest, like right now.
_ You know something / ain't no night rest / till I make it turn around.
_ I know the trick, I know the reasons.
_ [Wished you could, wished you would, wished you fella could pull it together].
_ I can succeed, I mean tomorrow.
<B2>
_ Cause I can see, your way, my way now.
_ Cause I can feel, both ways, our way now.
_ Cause I can read, their way, always now.
_ Cause I can tell, cause now I know,
<C2>
_ I'll be in the morning, be your man in the morning.
_ I'll be a new man in the morning, be your man in the morning.
<SOLO>
_ .
<V3B>
_ I need the sleep, I need to give up.
_ You know something / ain't no night rest / till I stick it down the ground.
_ I know the fix, I've got solutions.
_ [Wished you could, wished you would, wished you fella could pull it together].
_ I can succeed, I mean tomorrow.
<B3>
_ Cause I can see, your way, my way now.
_ Cause I can feel, both ways, our way now.
_ Cause I can read, their way, always now.
_ Cause I can tell, cause boy I swear,
<C3>
_ Meet me in the morning, be your man in the morning.
_ I'll be a new man in the morning, be your man in the morning.
