This tune was released by Van Morrison in 1967. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: https://www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #430 by Van Morrison

It’s no secret, everybody knows; you have lost your compass and it shows.
No one wants to play your silly games; You keep going ‘round in circles like a hurricane.
There’s no point in reasoning with you; It’s not going to change your point of view.
You’re not going to sacrifice your plan; You’re not giving in an inch, you have made your stand.

That look in your eyes tells me everything I need to know.
There’s no compromise – you’re going to go where you go.

Have you noticed, no one even tries? They have all grown weary of your lies.
You keep twisting everything you hear; You’re not even local now; now you live in fear.
So you dig a hole and hunker in. Jumping in like clockwork with your spin.
Maybe one day you will see the light.  Prob’ly not, you’ve drawn your lot. You know you’re right.

That look in your eyes tells me everything I need to know.
There’s no compromise – you’re going to go where you go.

Round & Round (Instrumental)  - Beats Working

I wrote the lyrics first as a poem for my father-in-law who recently passed away.  The bench was supposed to be a Christmas gift he and my mother-in-law were going to pick it up in the spring.  He recently passed away, and I still haven't finished the bench, but it will be finished in August.

As with all my demo tunes, the lyrics are 100% human, created by me.  I use AI to assist in developing the melody and singing.

The Bench

Country version of Salt and Dirt. Guitar, pedal steel. Listen to the alternate version on my profile.
