Honestly,

By blighters_rock on September 4, 2022 10:33 pm

Most of the last few weeks I've been more focused on production than songwriting, so I figured it was time to write a real song.


I think I've become a little bit obsessed with taking the IV and making it minor. I need to take a break from that one for a while.


Tell you what, folks--it's going to feel really nice closing out that 3rd row here in a few weeks.

I've always massively respected your ability to carry an entire tune with just an acoustic guitar and your voice. Really great vocal hooks here and I relate to the lyrics. Hope you have tomorrow off since it's labor day, get up early on Tuesday instead ☺️

Really nice tune. Even though you said not focused on production, it still sounds great .
Hope you find that peace ✌️

I love how the melody you sing keeps rising into, and even above and beyond, this nostalgic power that plays so beautifully from your heartstrings… and the lyrics got this vulnerability that resonates with any listener’s heartstrings(have i mentioned ‘heartstrings’ enough? lol tis a song full of heartstrings… like a network of heartstrings resonating with the ultimate empathic power big_smile)… so brilliantly beautiful heart

Mission accomplished. 

Also: keep the IV minor if you want to. tongue

Simple but effective, well done.
Take care.

Beautiful and I can relate...

I sometimes call days off when I am down, and it happens too often.

Acoustic guitar is very well recorded. Hope you can leave in peace most of the time! That electric guitar solo is great.
