Sounding good, Kent! I really liked the little guitar interlude before the final verse. The "why does everyone hate me/I was 20, 21" reminded me of Blink-182's lyric "nobody likes you when you're 23", but obviously, much different approach & sentiment.

the chorus is really so sweet and the variation brings fresh perspective- guitar line is great and the melodic flow carries the story along perfectly :)

Ooh I like this one! I think there's something about the years we've just been through here maybe? Love the approachability yet mystery of your lyrics.

Looove the 18, 19 / 19, 20. It's so conversational, so true to human form.

this is really well done Kent! I love how you can capture so many more stories and images in so few words.  Just by saying "we had no idea what was coming (at 19-21)" it creates a million memories of that time and what I was like and experiencing then and what was to come.  Very brilliant way to have the listener create their own imagery (its like you are guiding the voyage but not writing the story for them)

Nicely bittersweet story, with an understated guitar interlude towards the end that really shines but for a brief moment. Nicely done, Kent!

He's back! Lovely pulsing guitar, and great to hear your voice again

That is really cool... I most like the "18,19 19,20" way of describing age. Also "Love, it got along - sweet!!

You have achieved a really clear and crisp recording of this song. Great rythm guitar sound plus your usual sharp lyrics.

Week 1 Prompt - Something New

*Note about the song: I was so frustrated trying to write anything for this prompt that I just started recording and playing. Rougher recording, but it's true to the rawness of the last few weeks.*

it's a new year and i know
i'm supposed to feel something different
truth be told i just
feel the same
the weight of the loss of the
last few weeks is heavy tonight
tears coming down like rain
but it's snowing outside

somewhere someone said at the 
stroke of midnight it would change
but i've found that really 
just isn't true
sometimes we've gotta face what's
staring right at us and oh
leave the magic for another day

but go ahead, new year,
show me something new
help me see the magic 
in the tragedy
help me remember the love & 
the gratitude in the grieving
go ahead, new year, dazzle me
show me something new
something new

i know that i'm lucky to have
loved those i lost
i know that i'm lucky and blessed
in so many other ways
truth be told this stings
in a whole new way
just a moment of reprieve
along the way

so go ahead, new year, 
show me something new
go ahead and show me the 
magic in the tragedy
show me the love and gratitude
in the loss
go ahead, new year, dazzle me
show me something new 
something new

Show Me Something New

PROMPT: SOMETHING NEW 
C.                                                                             F
LIKE STEPPING OUT BEYOND THE STARS AND PLANETS
AND SWIMMING UNDER WAVES AGAINST THE FLOW
ANOTHER WORLD AWAKENS IN MY BEING 
F                                                            G
ONE I THOUGHT I’D NEVER NEED TO KNOW 

LIKE LIVING IN A MIND’S WELL OF CONFUSION 
CAVERNOUS IT’S ANXIOUS DEPTHS BELOW 
THIS PATH THAT LEADS AWAY FROM ALL I’VE TAKEN 
ONE I THOUGHT I’D NEVER NEED TO KNOW 

  
F                                Am
AND IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE 
F                         G
THIS IS REAL TO ME
Dm.                                                             G
SOMETHING NEW I NEVER COULD CONCEIVE 
DM
SOMETHING NEW
G                            C
LIVING WITHOUT YOU 

Bb                                                                            Eb
LIKE FALLING FROM THE PEAKS OF HIGHEST MOUNTAINS 
THE ROCK ON WHICH I BUILT MY HOUSE MY HOME 
TO FIX MY EYES ON ALL THAT IS TOMORROW 
Cm                                                                          F
NOW FILLED WITH DAYS I NEVER KNEW I’D KNOW 

Bb                                                                Eb
AND YET THE ECHOES OF AN ANCIENT SINGING 
RISE ABOVE THE RUBBLE AND THE WOE
CALLING STILL THE WEARY DESPERATE TRAVELER 
ON AND ON TO WHERE WE NEED TO GO

SOMETHING NEW WEEK 1 22

When i was 18, 19
And you were 19, 20
I lost count along the edges of the falling leaves
You were coming quickly
And it was going easy
Time passing was the last thing we needed

Love, it got along x2
Falling leaves in the setting sun
Love it got along

When I was 19, 20
And you were 20, 21
We had no idea what was coming
We had no idea what was going on
It was getting old
You were something new
I was looking for something to hold, thought I could hold maybe on to you 

Love, it got along x2
We’ve been holding on so barely, and barely holding on
But love it got along love it got along.

So I wasn’t what you wanted
Better as I was, or what I’ll become
Why does everyone hate me now
I’m 20, 21

Something New - Song a Week 2022, Week 1

Time to lay years down to rest
Parting like a passerby
Walk past everyone to find
Fire, water, wood, and wine

Leave it all as lonely ash
This is what promise becomes
So burn and wash the left behind
With fire, water, wood, and wine

And all along
There’s curling smoke in place of song
On the ceiling of the living room
Suppose I should be leaving

Here among the falling
Everything and anything
Only saved if kept in mind
But fire, water, wood, and wine

And all along
The coast that I grow up on
The way that water keeps its cool
Suppose I should be leaving soon

And all along
There’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing wrong
In the way the snow swallows the sound
Suppose I should be leaving now

Leave it all as lonely ash
This is what promise becomes
So burn and wash the left behind
With fire, water, wood, and wine

Twenty Two - Song a Week 2022, Week 2

Standing In The Doorway (#543, 220115)

I never did enjoy vacation
Too much free time freaks me out
Some people seem to strike a balance
I never could quite figure how

The rope I need to climb a mountain
Is plenty long to hang myself
And there's somethin' 'bout just standin'
In the doorway between heaven and hell

Standing in the doorway with one foot either side
Could go either way it's gettin' hard to see the line
Tryin' to see the future but it's still to soon to tell
Standin' in the doorway in between heaven and hell

When it's midnight at the crossroads
There's one train headed south
Another's racin' off the iron
One last chance to turn around

Where the point of no return is
Probably anybody's guess
I keep watchin' from the doorway
But I haven't seen it yet

Week 03 - Standing In The Doorway (220115)

Week 2 Prompt: Twenty-Two

you can feel good at 22 if you want to
i feel alive at 35
wanna age like betty white
she made it to 99

you can feel like a king at 8
but you will have to wait
‘cuz the queen still gets her kicks
at nearly 96

doesn’t matter if you’re generations
x, y, or z
alpha or the greatest
or even boomers, see
it takes us all to make this
ol’ world go ‘round
so whatever your age
just live it anyhow

i don’t care if you tiktok or twitter,
or instagram
facebook or myspace
where tom is still your friend

opportunity could knock at 44
53 or even 61
maybe you’ll make it at 17
or somewhere in between

doesn’t matter if you’re generations
x, y, or z
alpha or the greatest
or even boomers, see
it takes us all to make this
ol’ world go ‘round
so whatever your age
just live it anyhow 

doesn’t matter if you’re generations
x, y, or z
alpha or the greatest
or even boomers, see
it takes us all to make this
ol’ world go ‘round
so whatever your age
just live it anyhow 

so whatever your age
just live it anyhow

Whatever Your Age

Twenty Two

Another collaboration with Mark Anderson where I sent him the tune, and he then wrote the lyrics to fit the tune.

To fall in love
(Mark I. Anderson)

Listen to these words
Let them fall upon your soul
Like you’ve never heard before
Like you’ll never let them go
Tonight, let the fire burn us
Tonight, let two hearts learn 
This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

Hold me close and whisper
The things that love will say
I’ll hold you close to kiss you
At the closing of each day
Tonight, is all we need
Tonight, you can believe
This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

(Bridge)
The mystery of the ages – hidden in our kiss
Time reveals her secrets – when I’m holding you like this

Listen to our passion
Hear the rhythmic beat
Two hearts pounding faster than
Even time could keep
Tonight, we’ll just let go
Tonight, we’ll let it show us
This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

To Fall In Love (demo)

Week 5
 Prompt: Used to think it was

1.
I was waiting at the bus stop
Just got off a train
Caught the morning ferry ride
Left home at 5am
Sat beside a friend of mine
I hadn’t seen in ages
The swell was high and silver skies
Put us through our paces

CH
Used to think it was sunshine
Used to think it was  joy
But it s ending in sorrow and storm clouds
Tho I had yearned for much more


2.
Deep beneath the harbour
Held with our dreams
Breaking creaking cracking boards
Lonely stony seas
Should we speak of lovers lost
Long for their returning
Could we dive into the night
Oh how are hearts were burning 

Used to think it was sunshine
Used to think it was  joy
But it s ending in sorrow and storm clouds
Tho I had yearned for much more
