Listening to this again.  Wonderful song!

a very comfortable track as well as the vox

This is a great track (didn't realise you could throw a playlist into your spotlight, first time I've noticed this - so an extra thumbs up for helping me see that!)

Great to dive deeper into your very diverse music expertise, great songs. And this one is really brilliant!

James Bracken cut his teeth as a sideman lending his soulful vibrato and rhythm playing to Ian Hilmer’s Stagefright, an alternative string band from southern MN. The band performed extensively regionally, steadily gaining grassroots momentum circulating live bootlegs but never releasing an album, which ultimately ended the band and each of the members went on to front their own project.  

Several hundred bar gigs later a fortuitous connection with Rochester producer Fires of Denmark led to a productive series of recording sessions documenting Bracken’s expansive catalog and tracking a brand new batch of songs set to be released as Echo Messenger.

When You Wake In The Morning

A song about a long-distance relationship.

MAYBE SOMEDAY (c) JunkHeap Jan 26 2024

She loves him, he loves her.
Living far away from one another due to circumstance.
Occasions where they meet and their love blossoms.
The hardest time is being apart when you so want to see them.

She doesn't have the money, he's flat broke.
Travel seldom happens, but they won't flow apart.
So they speak through their phones;
work hard for the next time when they can hold each other, 
so, so close,
lost in the moment.

Their love it makes them work so much harder,
to live together and share their worlds.
Maybe someday, but not today.
 
The crescendo building 
near Iguazu Falls in Argentina,
that's where he wants to say the words to her.

She dreams of the quiet of an old growth forest in BC, 
let the trees share their wisdom, 
while they stare in each others eyes.
She's not going to lie, she melts when he looks deep.

Br.

Maybe someday.
Sippin’ hot chocolate on a train going to nowhere, 
holding hands...
Sleeping in on a rainy day, making sure not to plan anything, 
so difficult these days.
Their hearts feel, and they can dream.  
It'll happen where they can both meet, and be together,
be together, forever.
Maybe someday.

Their love it makes them work so much harder,
to live together and share their worlds.
Maybe someday, but not today.

uh, uh, uh ohh...

Maybe Someday

One Day Soon

Pick Me Up On Your Way Down--Gene Jumper- ( cover song )

This is a favorite song of a friend of mine, so thought I'd do this for him. we had a conversation about the way it ended and my thought is that the one that was being left behind asked for Boots, as a way of saying "These boots are made for walking' because its quite obvious the one who is leaving isn't going to miss the one she or he, is saying basically 'good bye ' Anyway this is my humble version of this song and I thank you for the listen and any comment if you choose to leave one. Ya'll take care of one another and yourself .
