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

CT/SC...Posting New Originals and Covers Every Week 

Originals,Covers,General Acoustic Goodness 
Folk Music/Music for Folks

All my original songs, as well as all covers, are grouped in Playlists. Some of the playlists were created as albums (A Field Guide To Pagan Saints demos) of rough home recordings, and some are grouped according to genre/artist.

If you like any of the originals and want to cover them, have at it! Just make sure you give proper attribution AND let me know- I'd love to hear them!

Sometimes the missus joins me with her fiddle, and the dogs and the kids and the general jubilee provide ambiance, but for the most part these tracks are just me. 

All tracks posted here are recorded (rather poorly) on my iPhone using the Voice Memo app, with the exception of the About A Girl album tracks (grouped in a set), which were recorded in the studio and released by Crafty Records. So, they're all demo quality and, while they may not be the prettiest, they sure are real!

Please read, there will be some technical explanations connected with each track.
 
These all are home studio recordings and  arranged so that I could play them in front of audience. However, currently I am not willing for live performances. I feel pure happiness always when someone listen my music here. I really enjoy Your music, my friends and prove it listen to it as often I practically can.
