Recorded live to DSD Dayan Kai vocal guitar solo

Thanks For All The Things You Do

I wrote this song as my guide dog lay in my arms passing away.

The Passing Song

I hope you all enjoy <3

Lyrics:

You know im feeling you
I know you feel it too 
My emotions are real but I still haven't healed
from all the pain of my past

None of my lovers have lasted
I always feel so outcasted
Ive been close where I almost snapped bust a cap  
inside my head

The cheating the lying and crying these tears 
All of this happening to me for years
I stared death in the eyes
what is there to fear

I wish being with you numbed all of my pain
but the thoughts of betrayal drives me insane
trust is no longer given its attained

I know you say im feeling distant sometimes
I know you feel like i dont listen sometimes
You say i need to dop living in the past 
and live in the present maybe I could be content
If you
(Chorus)

Show me show me show me show me cause all I know is being 
lonely lonely lonely lonely I push you away and 
thats on me on me on me on me
I feel like we fading slowly

No matter how hard I try
All of the times i asked why,
it is something that my mind
will not just go leave behind

People sau that it takes time
make it seem like its streamlined 
telling me dont act confined
you cam find peace of you try

believe me I wouldve dont it if its that easy
and I wouldn't be depressed on the weekly
and I would not be feeling so deeply

to be honest I dont know whats in me
that you see, so maybe you could

(Chorus)
Show me show me show me show me cause all I know is being 
lonely lonely lonely lonely I push you away and 
thats on me on me on me on me
I feel like we fading slowly

Now and Then

Along the spectrum of mildly annoying, like a child refusing unfamiliar food, all the way to being dangerously bigoted, the condition of close-mindedness can limit one's life significantly from enrichment and fun. At worst it can cause fear and harm towards ourselves and others.  This song attempts to serve as a reminder to stay open minded and to embrace the new!

written for the Positive Songs Project

Instruments: upright bass, resophonic contrabass guitar, upright bass, ride cymbal, and some electronics

It needs to be mixed a little more and really could use a drummer playing a full kit and may be a little solo in the middle...perhaps in the future!

The Old Familiar
