bello instrumental con lindos arpegios y guitars

This is really great singing guitars 🎸

Drifting nicely on your stream... Beautiful track ! Truly love it <3

Drifting downstream is a nice name for the music

Love the atmosphere and the sounds of this very nice track well done

take me high

They say time heals all things
I say it mostly trips over its own feet

Met you again where the decades blur
You said, "Still late?" - I said, "Yes, sir!"
Your cufflinks winked like they knew my crime
We've both gone crooked but kept in rhyme

The jukebox wheezed out our favorite scene
All scratched-up vinyl and nicotine sheen
You took my hand like a borrowed line
And said, "One more round with Father Time?"

We're slow dancing with Time, he's drunk and polite
Keeps stepping too close, then fading from sight
The clock's out of tune, the seconds won't stay
But somehow your rhythm still knows my sway

Your tie's out of fashion, your grin's still gold
My shoes are wiser, my jokes got old
But listen - the silence still hums our name
A syncopation no hour can tame

You said, "We were wild", I said, "Define"
You laughed like a line that refused to align
If grace is a beat, then we missed it twice
But oh, what a beautiful mess imprecise

We're slow dancing with Time, in half-lit disguise
Trading our minutes for borrowed replies
No countdowns, no chimes, no grand design
Just one more spin in that crooked line

Tick, tick - he's a jealous bandmate
Turns every encore to a clean slate
But let the fool rewind the reel
We'll keep the outtakes he tried to steal

Maybe Time's just a tired MC
Spinning his stories, forgetting the key
We fill in the groove he drops too soon
And rhyme off-beat beneath a lazy moon

No vows, no clocks, no metaphors thin
Just rhythm - and maybe a little gin
He counts the measures, we count the lies
And still find truth where the silence sighs

We're slow dancing with Time, and stealing the lead
Twisting his tempo till hours concede
The band fades to black, the metronome's mine
Still holding your gaze - still slow dancing with Time

Careful now, don't rush the rhyme...
We're only as young as the next bad line

Slow Dancing with Time
