Fine song.  Tammy & Loretta would be jealous, & steel git is studio quality.

lyrics not clear enough to understand story you're trying to tell

Really well written & performed song, you have a great voice! 👍

Wonderful classic county feel to this song, lovely expressive vocals

Sophie
Tell me your story
Maybe we could chat
Over a cup of coffee

I know you’ve got things to say
But don’t know where to start
Doesn’t matter
Things  get better
I say this from my heart 

Just don’t bend
You know you’ve got a friend

So, Sophie
We all have stories
Some to tell and some to live
Did I ever think I’d come this far?
Did you ever think you’d go so far?

The fighters in us fight on
The lovers in us live on
The dreamers in us dream on
The spirit in you stays strong

So, Sophie
Will you tell your story?
It ain’t over yet
You know you’ve got a friend

Sophie..
I’m there..

Unknown album (4/14/2022 12:16:55 AM)

From 8000 Miles’ 2nd album Crystal Confetti comes another tune that gets a bit philosophical. How often does your first response to a situation cause you to feel that your opinion is being challenged? Yeah, it can be often. Everyone has their own take on things and that can cause uncomfortable feelings between people. So, consider in those times, when it might be appropriate to not claim that you are “right”. Let it go. Compromise. Choose peace. After all, being right is usually just an opinion. Yes? Think: I don’t have to be right.

As you may notice, the cover art harkens back to a familiar cover from 1973 and that is intentional, because Andrea and Rebecca are strongly influenced by music from that time period. Many fans of 8000 Miles’ first album, Aggregate, have remarked on that influence. The title Crystal Confetti represents the clarity 8000 Miles is honing in their duo’s style and the contrast of weighted moods and flying inspirations.

The entire album, Crystal Confetti, has been released on Bandcamp. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.

Rise To Challenge

My weekend project for my Last Song.
A tribute to the Poems ans Lyrics of Leonard Cohen.

It seems my lyrics needs a little explanation.
In my head the connections are clear, but even my wife has not quite understood what I was getting at.

"Man with the Hat.., how he knows so much about the past, the present and the future"
"The Future".
- Give me back the Berlin wall
- I've seen the future, it is murder
- You never will, you never did
It was the last song on "Natural Born Killers" and probably the moment
when I first noticed Leonard Cohen as a really cool artist. When we got married in the USA in 2010, we rented a Mustang
Convertible for our honeymoon and drove it through the desert. We were often greeted with Mickey and Malory. That was quite amusing.

"twenty years of boredom is just a blink of an eye"
"First we Take Manhtten"
- They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom

"the holy dove..."
"Hallelujah"
- "And I remember when I moved in you and the holy dove she was moving too and eery single breath we drew was Hallelujah"
this is obviously a very erotic allusion. In my imagination, the dove is now "pregnant" and must hatch the egg. She will raise it full of love.

"how many miracles ..."
"Waiting for the Miracle" First song on "Natural Born Killers"
- But i was waiting for the Miracle
- I've been waiting night and day

"His songs of hope are not like songs of people in danger..."
In connection with the Ukraine conflict, my father just told me how he sat in the air raid shelter bunker during Worl War II and sang together to drown out the sirens.
They were certainly not poetic songs, but they served to spread hope. Today, when he listens to the news about Russian War he remembers how scared he was by the sirens.

"especially now, on a Wednesday"
this has no relation to Cohen. My wife reported to me last Wednesday walking down the street. An ambulance came across the redlightning crossroads at high speed.
She was trying to warn a woman who was carelessly walking across the street with her cell phone to her ear.
Instead of thanking her she was insulted in what tone she was talking to her. In the context of the sentence: "would you rather die? On a Wednesday of all days?"

"Everybody knows..." song with this title.
Means that many people are not interested in this kind of lyrics. They are only concerned with the now.

"Lost for so long...rise like the phoenix from the ashes"
- 1996, Cohen was ordained as a monk until he returned in 2001 with "ten new songs"

"With wine and cigarettes..."
"Tower of Song"
- I was born with the gift of a golden voice
- he started smoking again at 80 finally live it up and stop worrying about the consequences shortening your life by much

"Without any choice he reaches our hearts"
"A singer must die"
- And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice

"..come to that hotel in New York.."
"Chelsea Hotel #2"
During a visit to New York we of course also visited the Chelsea Hotel. In the lobby hung some artworkds painting by Leonard Cohen.
Lyrics of "Chelsea Hotel #2"
- "While the limousines wait in the street."
- "Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,"
- "You just turned your back on the crowd" (This line appears later in my lyrics)

"the lock of hair, one of his sleeping enemies"
"Famous Blue Raincoat"
- "Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair "
- "Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free"

"has falling to the ground ..."
"I'm Your Man"
- "Ah, but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees"

"As he looked at her, she started to cry..."
During a concert in Las Vegas, a lady boarded the stage, fell at his feet and gave him a rose.
The security guards panicked, but he took the rose and just smiled charmingly.

"He is the keeper of truth..."
"A singer must die"
- "you keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty"
- "Your vision is right, my vision is wrong"

Other  lyrics are freely invented by me but inspired by him to create a framework for this song..

Lyrics:

Salted wind is spraying, troubled mind is graying,
Apprehensive praying, shore of stone and clay.
Now the fog is forming, hides the lonely morning,
Heart without its warming, numb before the day.

There was an uncertain sign, 
Stars that wouldn’t align in their common display,
A storm that swallowed the night, 
Full of thunder and might,
And a blazing pathway.  (Instrumental)

It was an ominous sign, 
Stars that wouldn’t align in their common display,
A storm that swallowed the night, 
Full of thunder and light,
And a flaming doorway.

A solitary vision, feelings in remission,
Emotional collision, head of stone and clay,
Now the fog is forming, hides the lonely morning,
Heart without its warming, numb before the day.
Ooooh

Numb Before The Day

KRAE- 'IT AIN'T YOUR FAULT'         _INSTRUMENTAL W/ MY CHOP VOCALS_

I tried, but I can not deny the music in me. I try to escape it, to ignore it, to hold it, but it desires to be shared. So here is a small tidbit of it. Stacks of unfinished lyric & melody notes await me. the raw unfiltered years of love &pain etched on paper reminding me of a life well lived & a love well tested. In the end love prevails. The children grown I can now recapture those memories holding on to my love even in rough waters.  Here's to Love. Love that shapes us. Love that makes us! :)
