Nice one.  Sounds really good.  Really nice piece of song writing, really well made and produced!!! Cool 😁

Just listened again while reading the lyrics, really amazing stuff, incredible

Superb Tones and Vocal! Swinging! Well Done!

Absolutely wonderfully written and performed! Love it!

Mice of the forest floor unite
Head to the understory tonight
In the shrub we'll feed every comrades need
To make it to the canopy

Eat Sleep Wait

The table shown in the picture belongs to a suite of pieces of furniture crafted in the early 1990s for the interior of the Kremlin by an Italian carpenter's workshop specialising in oak-design.

A big Thank You to The Neighbor for dropping in and playing a wonderful guitar.

Oak

1
Out of one single seed
With lots of nutrients to feed
Within the ground
Out of a natural striving
Heavenwardly
At least 5 centuries ago

Cut one morning
Somewhen in the eighties or seventies
Last century, supposedly in Italy
Your leaves were so green - and
Then you stopped to breathe
And were stored and dried for ys

ref 
300 ys to grow,
300 ys to bloom,
300 ys to die
That’s your „normal“ life

2
Skilled artistic carpenter hands have worked upon you 
After your death with devotion
Cutting, sanding and priming -
„Lying Flat“ on these three pillars
Born out of a single notion:

"A place to meet",
10 elliptical, oval square
Out of one single piece
Lacquered in white and
Adorned with gold leaf
Six meters long, 2.50 wide

ref 
300 rings to grow,
300 rings to bloom,
And then 300 rings to die
Oh, that’s your „normal“ life

3
Hard to believe that must be necessary
Something like you
Being so earthbound and stable
Was that already inscribed  
Somewhere in your fibres ?
Ending up as a „dissension-table“ ?

Next moment the mad imperator will receive an unwelcome guest and 
An oppressive breathless coldness spreads  
Just for an instant before the lightnings of the camera flashes begin 
And then all this weighs down on you.

ref 
300 rings to grow,
300 rings to bloom,
And then 300 rings to die
You would have outlived us many times

out
Now that you are an icon 
The outmost insane things
Happen at your long edges - and
What have you done to deserve that one ?

Watson Adrian's Album

Mellow

Good Intention is a song of self reflection.   It's a slow blues jam in D Major using Drop D Tuning.  The words & music developed in a spontaneous jam session late one evening when I could not fall asleep.  The words pretty much follow the ramblings in my head that night.  I've been fine tuning the production since then but really didn't want it to be too polished.  I hoped it would sound like something you may hear live one night at a blues club.   

Guitars used:   Rhythm guitar: Early 80's Ibanez AS-80 Artist Series.
                           Lead Guitar:  2002 Custom Shop Jackson Sweet-Tone
                           Bass Guitar - Jackson X Series Concert Bass

Recorded, Mixed & Mastered in GarageBand.

"Good Intention"
Word & Music by Dom Torregrossa

Late a night when the world is sleeping
I feel so tired but the wheel just keeps on turning
All I have & all I have took for granted
In the end the remains of my good intention

I'm so tired of everyone sayin' it
I'm so tired of the games I've been playin with
I really, really hate explaining it
To you

Who I am & who I could have been
I won't pretend that they're both the same when my story ends
All I've have & all that I have let go
In the end the remains of my good intention

I'm so tired of everyone sayin' it
I'm so tired of the games I've been playin with
I really, really hate explaining it
To you

I'm a 53 year old "RockDad".   I’ve been playing guitar and playing in bands since 12 years old.  Pair that with an overactive imagination.  Another Singer/Songwriter is born.  Making music is a great way to blow off steam & a lot cheaper than therapy.   And lately bits the best way to meet like minded people & make new friends.  I have a private songwriting group on Facebook called Songwriters  Anonymous filled with some of the greatest musicians & songwriters to be found on the internet.  We’re all addicted as are you.  I look forward to hearing your stuff!   Peace

Good Intention
