As you were singing this sensitive song, I heard a slightly slower piano version in my head that was a total Adele beater! Beautiful song, Erin!

wow your development and growth as a writer this year is something to behold. This one my new fave from you. :)

Holy smokes. Beautiful and really well put together, it has that perfect universal-but-specific factor!

Great lyrics this week - you are on a winning streak. Oh! that rhymes :)

the verse melody and themes remind me of Kila's "Tip Toe" song (one of my favorites ever). I really like reflecting on the things being asked in this song about who we were/are over time.

I really like the guitaring on this one, and "I've learned a thing or two... over the years"

Week 48 Prompt: Tell Me Everything
*Second song for this week's prompt*

tell me everything
'bout where you grew up
was it easy
or kinda rough
where'd you go to school
where did you play
show me your favourite spot
for a rainy day 

'cuz everybody's got 
a story to tell
while i could tell ya
mine just as well
i'd rather hear yours
with my own ears
i've learned a thing or two
over the years
so go ahead
tell me everything

what were your dreams then
where they sublime
did they help you have
a good time
are they the same ones
you still carry now
or did they come true
please tell me how

'cuz everybody's got 
a story to tell
while i could tell ya
mine just as well
i'd rather hear yours
with my own ears
i've learned a thing or two
over the years
so go ahead
tell me everything

how are things now 
from then
all those memories
from back when 
did you set out to do
what you intended to do 
only to find life had
curveballs for you

or maybe you found
something better instead
to bring you all hope
instead of dread
maybe your life's
just waiting to begin
or maybe you're waiting
to finally get your win

well everybody's got 
a story to tell
while i could tell ya
mine just as well
i'd rather hear yours
with my own ears
i've learned a thing or two
over the years
so go ahead

yeah, everybody's got 
a story to tell
while i could tell ya
mine just as well
i'd rather hear yours
with my own ears
i've learned a thing or two
over the years
so go ahead
tell me everything

so go ahead
tell me everything

Everybody's Got A Story To Tell
