Members Idunno Posted November 12, 2016 Members Share Posted November 12, 2016 I have a melody for this. One day I might make an effort to record it. Today I took a walk to think someJust to do no other reasonI have to sayTo get awayI walked along a road I knowThe sidewalk, a different showAnd new to meWere things to see I took the corner to my streetThinking hard and slightly beatThrough the doorAcross the floorNo one home I sat awhileI searched for wisdom in the tileI had to knowBut let it go (Chorus) As a kid I signed a formThat put me in a uniformTo join a fightThat wasn’t rightI came away with all my partsThen went to school to learn the artsAnd as they sayTo find my way Family comes and no one knowsWhat it needs or how it growsIt’s Nature’s testWe do our bestThings we thought we knew were trueJust yesterday but now on cueBy relevanceDon’t stand a chance (Chorus) Living outside what we dreamNothing but a patchwork schemeIt saddles usSo ridiculousHard at work to make a livingLearning that it’s unforgivingEmbracing itWe make it fit Thinking none of it makes senseTrapped inside a strange suspenseI only hopeThat I can copeFor me there is no final comfortOne last breath a useless effortThen I’m goneForever long (Chorus) Chorus – And the days are ways we mark our timeEach one brings a dying poet’s rhyme And I find my timeFading fastLosing my pastLearning at lastThat life begins and endsJust a showNothing to knowBefore we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted November 22, 2016 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2016 Did the recording. Changed a few lyrics. Maddening rattling coming from something loose in the guitar but, hey, why not? https://app.box.com/s/d45ysqrgwygrzeph1235g31g9ppkn1a8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeonardScaper Posted November 23, 2016 Members Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm glad you recorded this. I read the lyrics and really wanted to hear them in song. I like this song....the messages stick well and the song flows nicely as a whole. I like the performance as well. You sing with feeling.....emotion even the choruses. I'll be looking for more.

Members Idunno Posted November 23, 2016 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks. I don't do a lot of writing these days. Mostly covers to keep the wall paint entertained (as far as I know). My car broke down on the way home from work so I walked the 4+ miles home. This song is about that and the fleeting thoughts I had while walking. I highly suggest a good long walk to everyone when they can fit one in. It clears the head. Edit to add: I fixed the lyrics above to better match the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drobster67 Posted November 24, 2016 Members Share Posted November 24, 2016 Excellent! I really enjoyed listening to this. I thought the acoustic playing was really good and the vocal melody was just...it just made me feel relaxed! Bravo! My friend in the next room asked me if I was listening to Steven Stills, whom I'm not that familiar with, but I'd take that as a compliment from her.

Members PhantomJiuJitsu Posted November 30, 2016 Members Share Posted November 30, 2016 This song is really good! I read the lyrics before I listened, and I shouldn't have. They didn't make a lot of sense to me outside of a musical context... but when I listened to the song I signed up just to write this post and tell you that its freaking awesome!!!!!!

Well, thanks a bucketfull and welcome to the site. I think it's kinda on a rebound but hard to tell. Soon as I get a new computer with an updated browser I'll be able to join the musical fray here as a listener. Anyway, thanks again. You make me feel like I sold my first ever concert ticket.
