New (ish) song!
This little ditty is a case in point — assuming you recall my last song post.
I stumbled across this simple little riff and melody back on Waiheke, NZ, right around the time I was very excited about music software. I tried to to program the riff a couple of times but could never get the right feel. As a result, I abandoned it.
Last weekend, emboldened by your support, I dusted it out and had the lyrics done in a couple of days. I’ve had some audio difficulties and my guitar still sounds like poop over this Mac internal mic and it’s not the strongest vocal performance buuut it will give you the idea of the song. Perhaps, later, I will dress it up properly.
Enjoy:
And as requested, here are the lyrics:
Changeling.
Memory catchs me slowly
Filling the womb of my mind
Reflecting the mood of the morning
I forget my place in time
I can feel it coming
I can feel the rain
Lovers lie bleeding
When will the story change
History waits for no one
Killing time with each moment’s pass
Rejecting the organs of stasis
I return to my place in time at last
I can feel it coming
I can feel the rain
Soldiers lie bleeding
This story must change
The future comes in a moment
The past dies at night
Waiting is an excuse for no one
I know now the time is right
I can feel it coming
I can feel the rain
The hungry lie bleeding
I know this story will change.
Impressions? Thoughts? Musical replies? 
I love the unexpected hit of optimism at the end.
Sweet! That’s what I was trying to nail. I’m glad it reads! Thanks!

So we really need to work out a way to do some type of collaboration. I’d enjoy playing bass to one of your tunes.
Thanks sir. Keep ‘em coming.

Nice tune! Thematic overlap. Excellent selection. I like this little song-writing circle we are creating.
There are three options. 1) If you are sitting on any riffs you don’t know what to do with, record it on Garage Tunes, send it my way, and I will see what I can add to it. Once it is finished we can each video our own rendition. 2) Two is like one, only I send you something I write via Garage Tunes; 3) When I’m down NY-way, we keep your neighbors up all night and record it for posterity.
