lyrics

v1: Did you think that I was doing this out of love, out of guilt? Because of all the things I felt when I was young, just a kid? I'll tell you what the problem is, we're all scared to open up We tell ourselves we're not enough, so many secrets that we keep hidden ch: I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out Don't know what it's all about But I wanna leave something behind And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids No, not everything I did But I'll leave some clues to find v2: We're just getting started on this thing that we call life So far, a real good time, oh, the stories I could tell I'd like to think that I'm good-hearted, so I'll hold a little back You know I've tried to stay on track, so I keep telling myself ch: I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out Don't know what it's all about But I wanna leave something behind And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids No, not everything I did But I'll leave some clues to find br: Thank God there weren't cell phone cameras in '98 Although life was pretty great, I'd rather leave you with a song And sure, I probably had some fun in '99 It never ended up online, so I'm allowed to carry on v3: Did you think that I was doing this for anyone else but you? It's as close to the truth as you're gonna get So I'll sing my songs until they're gone, then I'll sit back and relax Nothing more than simple facts, it's the truth, so you can bet ch: I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out Don't know what it's all about But I wanna leave something behind And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids No, not everything I did But I'll leave some clues to find

Luke Payne - Luminous Stone 03:51
lyrics

I’m not going to worry about money I’m not going to worry about time I live in the land of milk and honey And I’m doing fine In my dream I was at your doorstep But I’d forgotten to bring the wine I remembered the stone in my pocket It was polished to a luminous shine All I could give you was my sadness That and the luminous stone And you gave me tea and oranges And welcomed me into your home An owl was stationed in the corner Watching through circle shaped eyes As silhouettes turned into serpents And sorrow turned into surprise Caustically claiming the space in our skin Winning and losing and winning again Blessed with the prudence to pardon our sins We burned all the bibles and sharpened our pens.

William Nesmith - Lesson Learned 03:30
lyrics
buy track
I hit my parents up from time to time We talk about the stuff that’s on my mind I think they always give me good advice I’ve heard the same line way more than twice (at least 300 times) When life blows up in my face (and) Sometimes I make mistakes (but) Before I turn the page I know my mama’s gonna say What’s the lesson learned? (What’s the lesson learned?) What’s the lesson learned? (What’s the lesson learned?) When I hear the words, they’re no surprise (I hear the words and they don't surprise me) I try to fight the urge to roll my eyes (Good thing I'm over the phone, hahaha) If I never looked back On the things that I did They would probably hap- pen all over again So I smile and nod because I know she’s right I know when life blows up in my face (blows up in my face) I’m gonna make mistakes (big mistakes) But whatever ends up happening (whatever) I know my mama’s gonna say (She’ll be reminding me)

lyrics

Looking back I am so sorry For how I treated you through these early years of your life Looking back I am so grateful That you’ve grown up to be a better wolf than me Now I know Now I know Now I know Hope you find it to forgive me I’d like to learn to know you so we can make our peace Yes I know I was a bastard For despising you and hiding you in your early years Now I know Now I know Now I know

Steve Lindsley - Waiting For Here 03:38
lyrics
The rain creeps in under the door Just like it did before I thought it was fixed So it wouldn’t do it anymore And at times it carries with it my tears Washing away all the fear And when it does It tells me that this is all real I'll wait and see I'll hold on The loneliness never sticks around for very long Dreaming of love Hope for the best That comes when you realize this is not a test And everyone knows It's just living near Waiting for here The light shines through my window pane Every single day Without fail Showing me the way I’ll hold it down I’ll keep the peace Patience isn’t something that comes easily It's how we live We get to choose No matter what they tell you on the evening news So I'll wait and see I'll hold on The loneliness never sticks around for very long Dreaming of love Hope for the best It's what you have when you're not thinking about all the rest Things are much closer Than they appear Waiting for here

about

This week’s assignment comes from Luke:

"Like William, I've been overlapping a couple songwriting groups for the past couple weeks. The other one for me is a songwriting class I'm taking with Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes). I've really enjoyed his lessons and prompts, so I'm just going to pass along a stripped down take on the prompt for this week: draw inspiration from whatever source you like, but try to take from it the intent rather the content. So, instead of taking a sound, or riff, or chord progression, step back and determine what more broadly speaking the song/art is doing that appeals to you. Here are a couple examples: surprising you; comforting you; building a songform form from loops; using words that are at odds with the music. It could be anything. Mention the source of inspiration and the intent you derived from it if you are so inclined.”
