I saw Buddy Guy about 20 years ago, and when he soloed he turned the guitar down so everyone had to listen closer.

Oh wow that melody is stunning-im so sorry youre not well tho. Your voice is a fave. ❤️

What a lovely prayer from the heart 🙏❤️  so cleverly performed! 🎶📝👏 from David Easterling

Mmm, way to sneak this one in, James. Rest that voice, my friend - you're absolutely right - we'll wait. ;)

This is actually amazing to me. I would love to have it say "this too shall pass' really quite lovely

What a cool way to name a song! The whispering works well for it, especially along with the guitar melody. Best wishes for a speedy recovery...

That guitar is a real ‘earworm’ it keeps playing in your head after the song finishes. It works with enforced whispering but I think would also come alive as a piece for band. Great lyric.

That's some sweet lemonade, right there. But what's HWC? https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/HWC

Great idea, exquisitely executed! "Sports" and "HWC" - Howard Cosell? Huh?

"HWC" (#459, 210504)

(aka this-is-what-happens-when-James-loses-his-voice-but-is-still-bound-and-determined-to-write-a-damn-song-every-week)

How can you make a noise
When you don't have a voice
Can anybody hear my thoughts

How will my love be loud
When I can't make a sound
Can you speak for me if I cannot

How do I trust that I
Will fully heal in time
Can you promise this shall pass

However long it takes
We'll trust and we will wait
Can absolutely promise you that
