Name: Blue Collar the Divas by Lowdowneddy
Duration: 4 min 9 s
Description: Track from the 1989 DIVAS ep Man in a Bushfire.

I love the warbling vocals on this.  The mix is really good.

The eternal quest for things we love...whether they are are good for us or not.

Everything I Look For

An acoustic guitar duet. Shael and I have different, complimentary playing styles heard here in this simple recording. Just two guitars...and  a little rainfall.

Empty Song
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

 Verse One
I walked out of an empty room,
Then stopped, went back in,
To catch one last glance of where you’d been
To caress the skin that once was sin,
But all I saw was an empty room,
Not even the hint of cheap perfume 
I wanted your breasts, but all I found
Was a faded memory on an empty ground. 

Verse Two
I awoke from an empty sleep
Closed my eyes, went back in
I hoped to find you there with me,
But nothing was there but an empty dream. 
I called your name but deep inside
All I heard was an echo in my mind.  

Verse Three
I departed from an empty pub,
I staggered, went back in,
I sat and toasted an empty crowd,
that you return to this town.
And be there always by my side,
And play and laugh like happy times,
But now all Is faded and gone aside,
And thoughts of growing old an empty lie,

Chorus:
Empty dreams, Empty hopes,
There's nothing left for me to cope.
How do I sing now that you’re gone,
When all I have is an empty song. 
How do I feel play in empty halls,
When your memory haunts my every move,
How do I play the songs you loved,
When all I can carry is an empty tune.
