It’s all around
Daylight breaks on frozen ground
And I've never told you
How good it feels to grow old with you

The night is cold and hard as steel
But you and I will never feel
The silent night the shivering morning
This burning ember heats our home

Its all above
An icy wind. A burning sun
And I’ve never told you
How good it feels to come home to you

The night is ours. It’s short but sweet 
And desperate hours before the week
A daily grind a cold design
This burning ember heats our home

So cry out
What's wrong with the world?
Why can’t they see
Things like you and me?

It’s all around
Daylight breaks on golden ground
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to have grown old with you?

The night is hard and cold as steel 
But you and i will never feel
The hardened heart, the cold of shoulder
This burning ember heats our home

It's All Around

Billy Squier's The Stroke by Mike Polcari & Nadia Selvaggi

Third track of the collection Mimicked Notions, quiet ambient music, based on some live recorded improvisations. 

This track first appeared on the We Are All Ghosts 2023 "All Is Bright" various artists compilation. Follow the 'buy' link to get this great collection of wintry ambient, meant to listen to while enjoying some good reads (in the spirit of the great Icelandic Jolabokaflod tradition). Proceedings go to charity, more info on the bandcamp of We Are All Ghosts (http://weareallghosts.bandcamp.com).

"We also have “Mimicked Notion #3” by The Next Commuter, which blew me away, if I can be honest? I hope to work more with Hans Thomas in the new year and would love to have some new music from him to present from WAAG ... that’s my Christmas wish anyway!" - Thomas (We Are All Ghosts Netlabel)

Everything

I don't want what I want anymore
I don't give a shit, I close the door
Throwing pennies down the well
But well whiskey has a smell
All that I got is this guitar

Take another drink of your Tennessee whiskey
I’ll finish up this final song
I don't think they'll miss me

Now they're sending shots up to the stage
Damn- there goes my chance to leave with grace
But I don't want what I want anymore
It's fine-- at this point, I don't mind closing that door (that door)

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
Clear the stage, cut the lights
Make it all feel alright
This is what you wanted
You stupid bitch
You said you'd sing
You said you'd play your songs

But I don't want what I want anymore
I don't want what I what anymore (anymore)
I don't want this damn guitar

(Closing: 9 years ago, my first Soundcloud upload)

i don't want what i want anymore
