AB Playlist 104 Part 2

Song inspired by Zach Bush, MD and my love for nature :) 

Lyrics: 

Sing for the trees 
Feel the forest soil
Music in the breeze, fill the Earth Soul
With divine fire
Beautiful, carbon filled roots laying deep in the Earth,
I’ll do my best to protect you 
For what it’s worth
Water that nourishes,
May we understand how to heal you
From all of mankind's toxins 
And learn how to love you

Sing for the Trees

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

I bought this children's guitar at GoodWill for less than $15... I put $6 worth of good nylon strings on it.  And then I just played it.  Maybe I'm out of line... especially since I set the levels too high when recording it.  But there's something about this recording: I guess beauty is in the ear of the beholder...

A tune I’d forgotten I had, reworked and recorded for the first time ! 
There’s some D’angelo  influences in here for sure too !

Odyssey *leads

25 years we’re out on the town-and we live it on up to forget our frowns-but as the night rolls in it seems even more upside down-And we drink to forget the day ahead- as demons still dance around our bed-though tonight we’ll sleep well I’d rather be inside you instead – “My friend” 
My attention is drawn to the shadow on the wall-and he’s laughing at me-but I see through it all and baby it’s not that bad so what the fuck are we doing?
And ooooohhhhhhhh I’m inside of you again my Friend and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end 
I search the corners of time I pull the puzzle apart so I can piece back together the hole in my heart I thought that right from the start I was your everything
You walk away from it all think your way too good – as I fumble about with this semi-wood – and I know in the end that this ain’t just a white man’s hood
And ooo  oohhhhhhhh I’m inside of you again my Friend and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end 
It’s 1Am and we’re still at the club what are we searching for all we need is love or is that just something someone coined one time – But hey look in my eye if you need something else and  I will oblige cause 
  I’m throbbing inside and baby if it’s over till that fat lady sings oh oh – let me apologize in advance – I requested our song if you want to dance cause come morning my love the two of us wont’ remember my friend
And ooooohhhhhhhh I’m in love with you “my Friend” and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end

When night comes and you admire our starry sky, you can't help but marvel at the age of the light you see. One such evening inspired me to this song.
And to my immense joy, two of my absolute favorite guitarists, musicians and composers also wanted to share this journey with me. A big thank you for your generosity, gentlemen. ;)

Words that inspired Glen are listed below. 

HE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN
DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH
LOVED FOUR/FOUR TIME
AND MAKIN' WORDS RHYME

HE TRIED HIS HAND AT SONGWRITIN'
SIGNED A FEW SONG CONTRACTS
HAD A FEW PLAYED ON THE RADIO
BUT THINGS WERE MOVIN' SLOW

HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MUSIC CITY 
WHERE THE COST OF LIVIN' WAS HIGH
A CITY FULL OF SINGER/SONGWRITERS
WANTIN' TO BE COUNTRY STARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU LOVE MAKIN' WORDS RHYME
AND WRITIN' COUNTRY SONGS
MOST PEOPLE WOULD  AGREE
NASHVILLE'S THE PLACE TO BE
BUT, MAKIN' IT ON MUSIC ROW
CAN BE A HARD ROW TO HOE

DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO FIND OUT
IF HE WANTED TO WRITE A HIT
HE HAD TO WORK OVERTIME
MAKIN' HIS WORDS RHYME

WELL, WORKING OVERTIME
DIDN'T HELP HIM VERY MUCH
CAUSE, NASHVILLE'S A TOUGH SALE
AND A HARD LADDER TO CLIMB

(REPEAT CHORUS)
