great lyrics, great guitar, great song, whats not to love

Nice second part David, a soft flowing tune with some really nice playing, and your always homey, comfy vocals...

i enjoyed listening to your music 🎵 from start to finish.  It has such a nostalgic vibe to it and reminiscent of time gone yonder. very beautifully done.

Literally not one thing I didn't love about this song!!!

Once Were Holy.       (c2023)

Lyrics:

Here comes the night to dim out the light
Burn the candle light until the morning comes
Things will be great if we can wait
Till then I sing this song
And hope it won’t be long

The candle flickers bright, giving us sight
As far as we can see, there’s stillness in the night
Another day has passed, wash away at last
The things that I’ve done wrong
And you know I’ve been wrong

So play guitar and pluck the strings
Forget all the wicked things
I don’t need to be angry anymore

The wind between the hills, giving me chills
The frost will be melted by the morning light
What’s lost we lament in holy sacrament
The distant sun will rise
And shine into our eyes

The morning dew will form, a new day is born
The birth of the light is beginning now
The birds they will sing, the sun beams killing
The darkness of the night
Today I’ll make things right

So forgive all your evil deeds
Sew the ground with your new seeds
I don’t need to be angry anymore

I Don't Need To Be Angry (Anymore)

Lost Ghost

Thought maybe we had something     
 All set to play some shows
 And still we hear the drumming from fifty summers ago
 Why did you take the fall when you had the choice of any stage or hall
 Or anywhere you'd ever want to go? Maybe you're out there stirring
 Possibly still enduring the dark passenger spurring at your soul
 Where did you go fifty summers ago?

 You showed us how to listen, yours was the genius heart
 Unlocking glorious rhythm within the various parts
 Then you suddenly dropped your sticks 
 The guitarist forgot the way to play his licks
 The charts were tossed, the reels flicked
 The saxophone lost his place, put it back in its case
 The vocalist wept and sealed up her lips 
 And the mystery lives from fifty summers ago

 The years flew without message; in time, the trail grew cold
 Some gear went into storage, some of it was sold 
 We weren't that old fifty summers ago

 And now the tribe has gathered around the steaks and beer
 Our lives forever scattered - except this day of the year
 When no one repeats your name or thinks you might surface again
 From somewhere kept back in dusty archives of regret
 No one still thinks you're coming, nobody hears the drumming until
 One of us puts in the cassette 
 How can we forget those fifty summers ago?

Why go beyond this face 
To no longer replace and only embrace this soul
It kinda likes it…
You’ll find it might fit...

You can’t grow while running from this
Down clenching your fist,
Your hot head is too mystical
Look for the light switch
Turn on your life with it

Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch of you really touches tghe sky
There’s no need to wonder when your rem
There really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

I know to look to this place
Search every last little trace
Find why all’s interlaced with the cold
Look for the light switch
Turn on your light with it.

& 

Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch (25.4mm)of you really touches the sky
There’s no need to wonder when your rem
there really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

Ain’t no wonder when your REM
Just dreams, family, friends
These nevere end

Ain’t no wonder when your REM
Through this lens
These never end
Please love like you mean it
Please love we all need it
Don’t you love discretely
Is your heart beating or bleeding
Then love like you mean it

“Forgotten” explores memory, loss, and detachment from the past. The song paints a picture of being trapped between vivid memories and the desire to move on, suggesting both confusion and a search for meaning.

Forgotten

Cynical Publius on X wrote a thread about the differences between generations from my generations view. It struck me when I read it that a phrase from the thread was a song lyric. So I finally figured it out and this is it.

Sides

I love to make new songs with smooth organic sounds and vocal harmonies that remind me of favourite bands from the 1970's. If you like Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, America, Neil Young, and Nilsson, you might enjoy this music too.

These songs are fictional vignettes and stories. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

I facilitated worship in congregations for many years, and some songs here were written for that purpose. If you find a one you'd like to use, I would be happy to provide a chart.
