Love the wordplay on this one, solid songwriting

Cool, your voice comes across so clearly and deep. The lyrics are cool. Nice song.

Love the simplicity in this. Your voice seems more up front which sounds great. Awesome lyrics as always. Youre a poet no doubt.

Not Nothing
by Anton Etch 2021 
- a rough tape from the 'Simple & Strange' series -

You and her, you talked a while
in a younger time and space
traveling on different roads
remembering her face

(now) That’s Not Nothing Is It Now?
your memories you still keep
(and) That’s Not Nothing Is It Now?
but a stone that's buried deep

She went her own way
where she'd never tell
'Til a note came a calling you
Like the ringing of a bell

(and) That’s Not Nothing Is It Now?
but a wish expressed so clear
(and) That’s Not Nothing Is It Now?
so you travelled to be near

You hung your hat in an empty house
and you visited her asleep
in a churchyard under blowing leaves
where we all come to meet

(so) That’s Not Nothing Is It Now?
you came when she called
but stories only go so far
and you too are growing old

Can you make new memories now?
can you overcome the past?
the bride heard knocking from the grave
and her groom rose up at last

But this was just a story now
the ending of a film
(but) That’s Not Nothing Is It Now?
as she smiled and left the room
