Father fears the parapet
Talking to the empty set
Suffers slowly til he loses faith
Wonders if he'll start again

Midnight Mary's made of stone
Waiting by the telephone
History is never on her side
Watching hands tick slowly by

So close your eyes
Hold the world too tight
with broken wings take flight

We go places just like home
Trodden by the rubbered soul

So lost in time
do you realise
we're just trying to be alright?

So say goodbye
raise your boat capsized 
and sail on to the night

Sister screams the old hellos
passing by not coming home...

I am amazed at the level of talented artists encountered on this site.  Sharing and providing feedback is such an effective way to nurture the creative process.  I am so inspired by many of you.  My songs consist of mostly live instruments and voice.  An organic approach to song writing with a few surprises in the mix.  Please feel free to comment and download if you like!  Todd

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement.
