Great song David! A little Randy Newman in the lyrics, some Paul Simon gospel, and full power ballad deployment. It works. I’m bracing myself for the bridge.

nah, do what you want to do. Solid track. Steel guitar touches so nice.

David, I already told you that I liked the song so here's another comment. This one is very strong, especially the bridge.

Leavin it all out there David, no need to apologize…indulgent in the best way!

Impressive!!!!! Love the vocals & lyrics! ;)

great gospel ballad, beautiful guitar licks

Very beautiful song, David. Soulful, gospel, ballad feel with David's flavour. Uplifting and gorgeous. Your vocals and playing are superb. Love the instrumentation. A very moving story to follow lyrically and musically.

You can throw away your past, but the devil gently finds ways to bring it back...  Devil's Timepiece is a guitar-based alternative folk tune with southern gothic echoes. The fourth tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville

Devil's Timepiece
:
Traces of smoke
Lingering soft hope
Words spit like flames
under the up-town train
Together alone
through the heat summer storm

Yes it is…
faded away
No it ain't…
the way it should stay

Church bells of peace
The devil's timepiece
Once in a while
love speaks, to the right one
'Til then I pray at the station
Penn the hymn to the speeding train

Yes it is…
No place to stay.

I saw the city lights
turn dusty moon 

I saw the blue gas-light
split the summer sky

(Yes it is…)
Last place I'll stay
No it ain't…
the only doorway

Oh, gentle violence
Time will rewind it

Oh, blame the summer wind
Sound the sirens

Who will write this down?

I fear I've strayed into full soft rock power ballad territory with this one. It may be a bit *too much*. The bridge is probably a self-indulgence too far. Just be grateful I didn't include a solo...

LYRICS

She's mad and then she's gentle
She changes day to day
She smiles like Mona Lisa
But her eyes they do betray
A bitter streak of malice
That never goes away
And she knows I'll always follow her
No matter what they say

'Cause they say I'm meek and placid
A slave to her demands
Wrapped around her finger
But what they'll never understand
Is that moment when she whispers
"I'm your woman, you're my man"
Makes every casual cruelty
So easy to withstand

(Chorus)
I'm a fool
But I'm her fool
She can kick me like a dog
And I'll always be true
I'm a fool
But I'm her fool
She can test my devotion
And I'll always come through
I'm a fool

Now I’m standing at the station
A shadow ‘cross my face
Gonna move back to my folks’ house
It’s a long way from this place
But when they call the platform
I know I’m bound to stay
‘Cause I’m chained by something stronger
That’ll never go away

(Chorus)

Ain’t gonna run away
Back into my shell for another day
Held by invisible threads
Gonna listen to my heart, not my head

(Chorus)

Fool

"Mirage", par Chartrand Saint-Louis; Mixage, révision et sonorisation par Albert [lien vidéo]

Been working together now for a mighty long time
We've written a lot of songs but we ain't earned a dime
Everybody's telling us we're doin' it wrong
And that is the reason why we've written this song

You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your days
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
Cause maybe, somewhere along the way
Someone will stop and say
You're doing well!

Been working so hard now, ain't gettin' no sleep
'Cause we know that success in life don't come cheap
Now we haven't quite made it yet, but we're not gonna stop
We're not gonna give up 'til we reach the top

You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your days
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
Cause maybe, somewhere along the way
Someone will stop and say
You're doing well!

Why do we have to be like everybody else?
Why can’t the others see that 
Somewhere along the way, someone will stop to say...
You’re doing well?

Well we finally made it with a number one song
And to all the disbeliever’s we proved you wrong
So make sure you remember what we’re trying to say
'Cause you might be where we’re standing one of these days
Remember...

You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your days
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
Cause maybe, somewhere along the way
Someone will stop and say
You're doing well!
