wonderful song to cover and you did it justice!

Terrific version of one of my favourite NN songs. Well done. Keep that mandolin going - I like it.

Wow! This is amazing, your version really brings this song to life, I hear it on radio but also in Garden State type movies.

Song A Week 2023 - Week 1
Prompt: Begin Again

Lite Brite art courtesy of Jonah.

Song Note: Please forgive some of the squawky moments. It was one of the those times where there was the vaguest idea of an idea that turned into... well, whatever this ended up becoming. Interestingly enough, the initial direction for this prompt was more of an alt-rock/Amy Lee vibe. Whoops. 

(vocalizing)

oh i know
oh i know
that it is time to begin again

and i know
yeah i know
that it's time to begin again

i won't do nobody no favors
no just staying hidden in my
comfy den

(vocalizing)

oh it's time to begin again

and i know that i'm the only
one who can make a difference
i need to stop hiding behind
my doubts and my fears

because ain't nobody gonna 
save me from my own misery
and i know 

yes, i know, i know
that it's time to begin again
time to begin again

(vocalizing)

oh boy, don't you know
and girl, don't you know
and everybody, don't you know

don't you know
it's time to begin again

oh we've got a new moon
and we've got a new year
and it's time we let go
of old fears

and it's time say goodbye
to everything that's held us back
until now

(vocalizing)

yes, i know that it's time to stop procrastinating
and i know that i've gotta be done
with my excuse-making

because ain't nobody gonna save me
from my own misery
oh, it's time to just stand up and say

it's time to begin again
oh it's time to begin again
oh it's time to begin again

Time to Begin Again

January 2023 - Day 1
Prompt: Jet Black Hair

see the girl with the jet black hair
as she's curled up in her chair and
she's run away too many times to stay

she thinks her demons are left behind
but they tag along for, for the ride
she's all alone tonight

but you're not alone
you're not alone

we'll come home
we'll come home together
we'll come home
we'll come home to stay

take my hand
we'll go forward together
we'll come home
we'll come home to stay

see the boy with his beat-up toys
sitting on the front porch and he 
wonders when it's safe to go back in

daddy says next time will be different
and mommy can't string words together
because the booze has slurred her speech again

but you're not alone
not alone

we'll come home
we'll come home together
we'll come home
we'll come home to stay

take my hand
we'll go forward together
we'll come home
we'll come home to stay

oh, you're not alone
not alone

we'll come home
we'll come home together
we'll come home
we'll come home to stay

take my hand
we'll move forward together
we'll come home
we'll come home to stay
to stay

We'll Come Home

January 2023 - Day 2
Prompt: Down the Aisle

Birdsounds: BandLab.com

i had a dream 
that you saved me from a moose
charging forward in flight
then you stayed the whole night

i know it sounds silly
to share this out loud
but i can with you
and it means something anyhow

and i'm not saying 
i wanna run down the aisle today
but with you,
i do someday

no, i'm not saying 
i wanna run down the aisle today
but with you,
i do someday

when i'm with you
i can feel my nerves calming down
when all my feels overwhelm
and emotions out of control

something steady
about you when i am
anything but stable
you bring me inner peace

and i'm not saying 
i wanna run down the aisle today
but with you,
i do someday

and i'm not saying 
i wanna run down the aisle today
but with you,
i do someday

sorry if this seems
reckless at the seams
i promise i mean everything
and if you were here right now
i'd take your hands
and tell you how i feel

oh i know
deep in the bottom of my soul
we're where we're meant to be
you and me

everyday 
i wake up and give my thanks
the gift you are and give
to me

while i'm saying i don't
wanna run down the aisle today
with you,
i do someday

no, i don't
wanna run down the aisle today
with you,
i do someday

With You, I Do Someday

January 2023 - Day 3
Prompt: Someplace That I'm Supposed to Be

this new year i had
a resolution
to get more organized
thought it would be
the perfect solution
for my hot mess life

well i went down to the
office depot
there on the west side of town
found myself a handy dandy planner
did you know you have to write stuff down?!

there's prob'ly someplace 
that i'm supposed to be
they'll just have to wait or 
start without me
i guess i'll sort it out 
one step at a time
no worries - i'll be just fine

i'm amazed at how y'all 
make life look easy
you just go ahead and do it
i try to follow
every step you make
but it seems this tidy thing just won't take

there's prob'ly someplace 
that i'm supposed to be
they'll just have to wait or 
start without me
i guess i'll sort it out 
one step at a time
no worries - i'll be just fine

oh there's prob'ly someplace 
that i'm supposed to be
they'll just have to wait or 
start without me
i guess i'll sort it out 
one step at a time
no worries - i'll be just fine

no, seriously, i think i'll probably be...
i'll be alright...
please God help me...
i'm not alright...

where's my highlighter?!
who took my highlighter?!

Where's My Highlighter? (I'll Be Just Fine)

Song A Week - Week 7

Photo: View from the airplane of the sunset over St. Louis, MO - January 27, 2023 

Note about the song: I have a feeling this is one of those songs that will never feel quite finished... there have been so many writes, re-writes, scrapping ideas to create new ideas and scrapping those until I got to this version that feels... relatively okay. For now. 

---

early morning flight
out of milwaukee
out to denver 
then back to oklahoma city

then coming home from 
oklahoma city 
touchdown st. louis
then back to milwaukee

oh i'll catch my breath for a moment
though we both know that
in a couple days
i'll be gone again, gone again

even though you don't say much
i know that you don't like it
much when i'm gone and not around
when i'm not around

another early morning out of
milwaukee
on to denver
then on to the west coast
baby

orange county through phoenix
then somehow i'll
finally find my way back to 
milwaukee

do you believe me when i say
this time i'll stay longer
than we knew i could
than we knew i could

do you believe me when i say
i don't wanna fly away
i only wanna see you in front of me
in front of me

oh woah

i don't wanna go 
where you're not
and i know that you're not
gonna wait around forever

and i know you don't like
when i'm leaving
'cuz i don't like when i'm leaving you
leaving you

when i'm sitting in those airports
going to and through
all i can see are the faces
everyone but you

yeah i can the faces
of everyone
i can see the faces
of everyone

i can see the faces 
of everyone
but you
but you

i don't have to take a flight now
for a while
i can do more than catch my breath
this time

i ain't going east
and i ain't going west
i'm just staying put here this time
here this time

can you please 
just meet me
can you see me 
here with you

can we just be
can we just be
here, me and you
me and you

Peep the original "Fireflies" by Nik Newark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60O4dMhcR-Y

somewhere there's a happy sound
people singing songs as they gather 'round
the bonfire as evening dies
like the summertime in twilight 
and fireflies

one day we'll be left behind
like a battle scar on the borderline
not so far away lights up the sky
with the moon and stars in the twilight
fire flies

one day we'll leave this behind
all our history in the sands of time
one day we'll be living in peace
and leave behind days like these
where fire flies

one day we'll leave this behind
and ignore the scars on the hands of time
let the highway light up the sky
with moon and stars in the twilight
and fireflies
