It's like there are some melodic overtones reminiscent of Adyn Townes mixed with slight variations from "Back in Black" by AC/DC in the guitar with JTR as the glue to cement them together (pun totally intended). I really like this one, James! Great take on the prompt!

I'm always so blown away by all the great lyrics. Love the bridge especially.

So good! Some amazing lines of lyrics and of course brilliant guitar parts. That seventh chord (i think?) is a great one to kind of rest upon after the progression)

This simultaneously feels like it's a tiny bit off the beaten path for James, and yet somehow extra James. It's really gripping and a really neat set of concepts to build around. Very cool.

I really enjoyed this, James- loved the melody and how it climbed high in the chorus and then fell down into the abyss! Great lyrics as always!

I never heard this style of yours before. I really enjoyed it.

This is loaded with musical hooks.  The guitar and vocal rhythms are irresistible!

"Fountains Foundations & Frontiers" (#443, 210305)

Concrete in the mixer spinning round and round
Two by fours in ditches dug into the ground
Sweat rolls down the faces squinting in the sun
At what they created in a cloud of dust

Sculpture in the center posing with a dove
Shaded by the shelter of cirrus clouds above 
Fishes in the water frozen as the sky
Waiting on the winter underneath the ice

Modern man must imitate the screen 
Even if we don't know what it means
On the edge we stare at the abyss
And wonder who made this

Somewhere in the desert where there they built no road
Is my buried treasure that's where I will go
Leave behind this palace let this place decay
Find myself a cabin dream the days away
