Great song, Francois, and a work of art. For me, a very strong, resonant and appealing lyric. And you have supported it so creatively with this composotion/arrangement, and with your voice. Good to hear you again!

Loved the chilled out vibe on this! Great lyrics and sonic keyboard texture. Glad you're here!

Great one, man. Must be part Texan, also, to utilize 'fixin''

Love this reflective extended instrumental break. Another clever, unique song Francois!

This section is so thematic and makes the song feel like a microcosm of the exact thing the song itself is describing. The gone(?)ing away and coming back but feeling different than before with this starting effected melodic motif and vocals

This parts my favourite, punctuated by this KNOW HOW IT IIIISSS"

you have an extremely original song creation style.  i adore the adventure i go on when i press play :)

Hey, wait... was I gone and/or am I here again? Does a France-wah fart in the forest?

LYRICS

Been away, but I'm fixin' to amble over
Promise I won't stay too long
C'mon -- what do you say? 
S'been a while since i trampled your clover
I swear -- this time there'll be
No gamble by shamble-ramblin' 

Why today? well, that's a very good question 
Perhaps to gloss over
Truly didn't mean to stray, 
Wasn't up to anything wrong
But you know how it is -- 
Things crop up that are hard 
When it gets pitch dark and colder
I surely hope that i am not being too forward 
Or laying it a little too
Laying it a little too
Laying it a little too 
Strong?

***

not like the nights when it               felt
                                       easy; 
nowadays, i feel much 
                                                                    older
so please -- 
won't you                                just 
play along

Away But Fixin to Amble Over

Worst poet wanna-being worster singsong-person. 

Lost to learning. Living the attempt.
