Members oldgitplayer Posted August 13, 2014 Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 I've been scribbling again today.Is it worth developing or too abstract? Three Blind Believers Three blind believers Move through the night Practiced deceivers Without sight Three blind believers Insist it is dayNine tongue pilots Say what they say Half-past nowhere's Somewhere to be - whenThree blind believers Tell you to see. The first says I don't listenThe next says I don't seeThe third says I am saying nothingBelieve in me Three blind believers Move through the night Practiced deceivers Without sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted August 13, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2014 I think it's cool. It may be a bit too on the nose but then again it has that Dylan sort of in your face folk angst. Personally? I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhino55 Posted August 13, 2014 Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 This is great. With the rhythm I'm reading it, I'd probably say "without any sight." I'm thinking you might be on your way to a concept album with the last few songs I've seen you post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oldgitplayer Posted August 13, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks for the positive response guys. I don't know about doing a concept album. I'd be struggling to rustle up a single. But if this lyric has something going for it, I'll work on it some more and try for some music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds vaguely obscene to me, but that likely says more about me than the lyric... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
