Wonderful song with great lyrics and vocal, Len :)

I enjoy your song 🔥. Make more to enjoy man.

Hope there is something (or maybe not): nice song Len.

Len, what a beautiful and deeply moving song! Your vocals touch the heart, and the guitar accompaniment is simply wonderful. The philosophical message about life's great questions comes through so perfectly in this arrangement. Very moving! 🎸✨❤️

Beautiful songwriting and performance, Len. I really love the guitar.

Love this! Love Jane Goodall! Your voice has a Tim Buckley song to the siren tonal quality in this track.

Fantastic songwriting and beautiful contemplative vocal.

Still catching up bro! Another fantastic song Len! I'm in the nothing camp, I want to believe in something but just look up to space and you will see a fantastically beautiful universe to remind us that there is nothing! So use your time here on Earth wisely and love everyone and everything! Take care!👍😎✌🏼

A new song ....The title came to be after watching Jane Goodall's final interview released after her death on Netflix. She was asked about her beliefs about an afterlife. The first thing she said was ...."well ,there is either something or nothing". She tended to believe that there was something based on watching her second husband pass away. For me I guess the jury is still out. Some other ideas came from some podcast which I have been watching. You will find a reference to George Harrison and Yusuf/Cat Stevens 'On the the road to find out".

Lyrics:

Wondering thoughts 
Something or nothing 
Light or darkness 
A wonder to us all
The great unknown 
Is there something or just really nothing 

From seconds to minutes
Hour to hour
Living, breathing and observing
The world’s just passing us by
Memories of the past
Disrupting our present 
As we ponder the future 

Wondering thoughts 
Something or nothing 
Light or darkness 
A wonder to us all
The great unknown 
Is there something or just really nothing 

What is life
George once said
Is this all real
Or just a simulation 
No one really knows 
All the living 
On the road to find out

Wondering thoughts 
Something or nothing 
Light or darkness 
A wonder to us all
The great unknown 
Is there something or just really nothing

Something or Nothing

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
