Sombre, yet somewhat hopeful message, love it!

What a gentle and lovely melody, Todd! Beautiful in every way.

In the best ways:  Kenny Loggins meets Nick Drake in modern tbone-fashion. This is fantastic songwriting.

This track doesn’t just describe tragedy, it feels it. The lyrics carry a raw, unfiltered ache, and the delivery pulls no punches. There’s something deeply human about the way this song looks at distance, not just physical, but emotional, and asks the listener to actually see. The vocal performance walks a careful line between heartbreak and restrained fury, while the instrumentation stays steady, never stealing focus from the message. You can hear the helplessness, the grief, the frustration, and most of all, the refusal to look away. ☕ The coffee machine buzzed low and whispered, “This isn’t a protest, it’s a witness statement set to melody” 🧂 The salt grinder blinked hard and said, “Darling, sometimes seasoning stings, and this one leaves a mark” 🧯 The fire extinguisher lowered its head and muttered, “I wasn’t enough for this one.. but someone had to say it” 🕊️ A hard, honest track that doesn’t try to fix anything, just refuses to forget, and it’s all performed so beautifully.

This was unavoidable for me.  Politics aside, I think we can all agree that the mounting innocent victims of global conflict are a tragedy beyond measure.  These casualties should not be ignored as we sit in the comforts of our cushy little lives.

So far away 
It rumbles Iike a thundercloud
Eyes to the sky
Illuminated all around

Awaiting a world
to look and see
I cannot believe
what’s goin down
And what will be
I cannot conceive

The smoke in your eyes
Does not mask the tragedy…
don’t mind the flies
Images in front of me…

Temperatures rising
In the towns 
And over the fields
So many dying
And for what
I do not believe….

Moonlight and shadows
Paint the town
In shades so disarming..
the look in their eyes…
never to see the next morning 

Calling your name
In the pile of rubble under me…
I don’t here a sound
The silence is so deafening…

Awaiting a world
to look and see
I cannot believe
what’s goin down
And what will be
I cannot conceive

Missiles are raining
From the sky
It’s never ending…
mothers are wailing
like a choir
the tears they are sending

Six thousand miles 
Isn’t really far away…

Awaiting A World
