Another day has dawned

By Tom Foolery on Yesterday 8:16 am

Very much went into this feeling uninspired. I had nothing in mind, and on a whim, asked a friend for inspiration. They told me about a feeling they had while taking the dog they are dog-sitting for a morning walk. I put the guitar in DADAAD tuning and tried to capture that.

This week has been busy, as always, although I think I did a bit better at making some more time and space for myself? Time for reading. Time for getting my thoughts onto paper. I spent the week craving some sort of reset - I have a trip away planned next weekend so I reminded myself that good things come to those who wait. I felt tired to my bones this weekend, and last night I turned my alarm off and just let myself sleep. I ran along the bay and put my feet in the icy cold water. It's a little adventure and a little reset and that's all I need. I made sticky date pudding for a friend and had some big honest conversations. We watched Chicken Run. I realised this week so many of my fantasies (where I could live for example) involve having other people around - would I still be willing to do these things alone? I found this thought too big so I sat down in my new beanbag and read a book for a while. Good things come to those who wait. Good things come to those who are willing to work towards something and know that it will take time.

Immensely proud of everyone for making it into the second half of weeklybeats! Looking forward to catching up on all the tracks that I have missed as soon as I can heart


the air floats down
I feel it's still
it rests upon my skin
I feel it's chill
it settles on the ground
when no one makes a sound
it's you and me alone

the city sighs
lovers stay in bed
the sleepy streets roll over
the sky is turning red
another day has dawned

As always I love your acoustic guitar sound.  I especially like the section from 0:38-1:01 although the whole thing sounds warm and comforting.
