Took a walk

Greetings to everyone! Hope a good week was had by all and that the (very) gradually-approaching spring is bringing some positive creative vibes to your music.
I'm astounded at how motivating it has been exchanging words with the community here and hearing so much excellent, challenging music. However, it is only natural that we experience ups and downs in the creative process - it was nice, in a weird way, to see so many of you here hinting at the onset of a slight weariness last week. Not that I wish such a thing on any of you, but when I saw the sheer quality of work that came out of self-professed 'tired' Weekly Beaters last week, I was amazed! Maybe it's okay for us to loosen our grip a little bit and let the music flow in different ways as the year marches on...
ANYWAY...here is a floaty, jazzy little stream for you all to paddle in - I hope you enjoy it
Took a walk:
I took a walk down the other side
To see what I could see
The flowers and trees all started to hide
There’s nothing here for me
The squirrels chatter like machine gun fire
And the moisture on my eyeballs started to freeze
Beneath the stones, the dead rattle their bones
But there’s nothing here for me.
So take a little break from your big mistakes
And live a life, for once, all of your own
Now I turn into a massive lung
And drink up the day
The trees all leap from the soil
And they leave a colossal empty space
Where seasons blend
Reason ends
Every corner, a friend
What kind of message is the world sending?
With robins on branches
Conspirators’ glances
Hypnotic red trances
And you
I nearly missed you
So take a little break from your bellyaches
And live a life, for once, all of your own
Thanks for listening! Have a free album (or two) and find me on Facebook
