Wait

Mistakes were made, says the future self.

Jason Mauer - instruments and vocals

Lyrics:
Wait
Don't do it
Is what I'd say
If I
Could go
Back to that day

Talking back
to a memory
Deaf to all
My future pleas

Forget it all
It seems I've won
Repress it more
But it isn't gone

Wait
Don't go
I need that day
Regret
Can lead to
A better way

The guitar on the back end is glorious.

Wow, love the delay manipulation on the vocals.

Nice orchestration. Big nostalgic vibes and solid classical guitars.

I really like this arrangement--there's a lot happening, but it's used really lightly, in service of the emotion of the song. Great playing, too--really well done!

The  performance, lyrics, vocals, instrumentation, arrangement, and just emotive power are fantastic here!

Straight up beautiful!

Future selves are always such assholes for not telling you things.
