about

Uploading at 2am. That's almost early for me. This week's phrase was "the smell of snow."

I ended up with six verses of this one particular path before sitting down to make something of it this Sunday evening. Five musical ideas then became four. As usual, the recording is pretty much first take guitar and vocals. I began with a partial fingerpicking arrangement; then it became what you hear. I hear all kinds of ideas to bring it to life, but am starting with the skeleton.

lyrics

“It Will Be All Right”

I keep pulling from the same old well
Giving me peace and giving me hell
The vein is strong and the water is deep
Torturing and sustaining me

Hurt doesn't seem to subside
Nor the desire to feel alive
My thoughts tend to linger on an endless sleep
Hope I'll still have my soul to keep

The head and the heart just can't agree
If there's some way to assuage me
Guns fire, the war in bloom
No winners here, just an empty room

Just keep telling me, that it will be all right
And hold me close to you, if only for the night
I'll be waiting here, if you ever change your mind
the clouds will go away and let the stars shine

The undertow pulls against crashing waves
The roller coaster ride of every stage
Treading murky waters, running out of breath
A skipping stone sinks to the depths

I cry out to bargain but no cards to play
Relive these moments day after day
Keep moving my feet just like I'm supposed to
But going nowhere, not getting closer

I see my breath with the smell of snow
sounds of stillness, deafening echoes
credence's cadence, an epic effuse
A bomb-colored truth I cannot diffuse

Just keep telling me, that it will be all right
Come on and lie to me, you'll be my satellite
I'll be waiting here, just show me a sign
the clouds will go away and let the moon shine
the stars will align
