Your singing voice is really beautiful! All the best wishes in 2025! Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed watching it until the end. Wishing you all the best in the new year, dear friend🎉❤💕✨
I am a great believer in a good tweak, Catherine. I can’t tell you how many times I have tweaked a song immediately after I’ve gone public with it. lol😊 It’s almost as if it’s part of the process. Songs evolve as we perform them, till we feel easy in their company. This song, my good friend, is a song that would help elevate any songwriter to the top of their art. You deserve to feel easy in its company.
This music harkens to all the wonderful country tunes I grew up with that are fused to my very musical soul. There's nothing that can be said about the lyrics that any thoughtful mind hearing or reading them wouldn't perceive better that way. I will only say they are incredible, and I believe every word you sing. Great choice for your upcoming live performance! 🤗🎶
One minute the sky is on fire, the next it fades like a bruise
I keep looking up hoping answers will fall down
Then I spend the rest of my day wandering around just staring at my shoes
Afraid to look anyone in the eye in case I drown
An abandoned cup of coffee sits as I try to make sense of this world
'Work hard' we're told and 'you'll achieve all of your dreams'
Sorry that's the biggest pile of bullshit that I think I ever heard
Compare the many empty pockets to the few busting at the seams
'Count your blessings' we're told countless times, and just shove those feelings down
'What do you have to complain about anyway?'
Crying about your problems doesn't make the world go round
So 'just smile', 'be nice' and everything will be OK
Don't ask questions, don't push back, and accept things as they are
Cos you might hurt someone's feelings, God forbid
Don't mess with the status quo, don't examine the 'rules' too hard
Don't poke the bear, don't you dare to lift the lid

Back for another listen. Liking the downward chord run (is that a technical term?) on the guitar, Catherine.
@@robinrendellwordman8182 it's maybe not the technical term but it's exactly the term I'd use 😁 I like it too- thanks!
