Really nice sounding track with great introspective lyrics

great song, like the liquid melancholy…

Awesome studio version CW. I always enjoy the melancholy in your music and there is always a great musical theatre vibe. Keep them coming CW! Reposted!

Super lyrics man....pasage of time, or maybe growing older?   Love the big horn / synth emerging in the outro - reminds me of Pat Metheny.

Wonderful voice and instruments!! Perfect sounds!!

Recorded home studio and completed at Amplified Studios, Carlsbad CA, July/August 2025
Lead guitar : Fog City Fogey
Mix/Master: Marc Polit of Amplified Studios 

LYRIC

Where once I found delight
Reached out and held it tight
I nod in passing
Nothing here is lasting
Let cherry blossoms fall

They will return next spring
That’s the important thing
Falling from each limb
And though I’m not there to see them
They will still be seen
And though I’m not there to join you
Please raise a cup or two for me

Where once the world spun round
But we could hold our ground
Now we go whirling
Tumbling and twirling
No railing we can grasp 
We hear others calling
Fumbling and falling
Every breath a gasp
But we can’t stop for someone else 
We have to save ourselves

Where once time trickled by
Now it goes streaming/speeding by
And we’re swept away….




where once...

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
