""A Change Is Gonna Come" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke. It initially appeared on Cooke's album Ain't That Good News, released mid-February 1964 by RCA Victor; a slightly edited version of the recording was released as a single on December 22, 1964. Produced by Hugo & Luigi and arranged and conducted by René Hall, the song was the B-side to "Shake".

The song was inspired by various events in Cooke's life, most prominently when he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana. Cooke felt compelled to write a song that spoke to his struggle and of those around him, and that pertained to the Civil Rights Movement and African Americans."                         Wikipedia

West Coast Vibes

I gotta know
What’s weighing on your shoulders now
Your dissonant soul
Oh it’s always holding out
Your hands are warm
Heart is cold
Silent storms
Hidden gold
Can never tell
Never know
You keep it all
Keep it close

Oh you’re a well kept secret
You’re a well kept secret
You’re a well kept secret
And I won’t tell


Prompt: “Well kept secret”

Well Kept Secret

Back to July

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. All songs are original raw recordings of my songwriting journey of healing and finding peace. Maybe one of these days, I'll actually learn how to record and mix better, but until then, I'm just having fun. Many of the thumbnails are my original art creations check out my insta for more art. I hope you like it!
