This song is about multiple rejections.

1. One or two BOY RELATED rejections before I met Brent a long time ago, ( when the song was first written )

2. Then, Brent rejected this song when I recorded the first version of it ( then he liked it after I made a few changes. 

3. Then the third rejection…well, that happened the same week I was practicing harmonies for it, and helped me write the new part. 

I am learning more about being ok with the possibility of being rejected. I mean, it stings a little, ( or a lot) but then you can take what you want from it and keep on moving.

How long, will I stand out in the cold?
You have, nothing to offer, in the way of stable

but

I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you, the very best

I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you, the very best

If you don't want me, it doesn't, mean I'm bad, and
if you don't like me, it don't, mean I can't
'cause I can
You just watch me man

I walked, walked along your firewall
my will was set to touch your hand again
I walked, right into your firewall
oh it burned, when I touched the flame

oh it burned, oh it burned me
oh it burned, when I touched the flame

oh it burned, oh it burned me
oh it burned, when I touched the flame

I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you, the very best

I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you, the very best

If you don't want me, it doesn't, mean I'm bad, and
if you don't like me, it don't, mean I can't
'cause I can
You just watch me man


Oh, Lord, I feel like wishing, 
my heart, it feels important today
I walked, right along your firewall
I could not find a seam to split

but

I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you, the very best

I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you
I wanna wish you, the very best


but I can not take another burn like that
but I can not take another burn
but I can not take another burn like that
but I can not take another burn

If you don't want me, it doesn't, mean I'm bad, and
if you don't like me, it don't, mean I can't
'cause I can
You just watch me man

Have a listen to my album "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025). Quirky and interesting tunes.
Thank you for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.

If there was such a thing as the NCFMA, this would be their Soundcloud page!

Here on this page you can find music that I really like and my own music @bonetender.  Mostly somehow "Alternative" but in many ways and sometimes also completely different stuff! Hope you enjoy! If you find time, have a listen to my son @the-venom-919397834

Hello! Thank you so much for listening and your kind comments! We might not always reply these days, but we do care a lot! We really love to listen all of your music too. Working on our energy and time management, and looking forward to coming back in and hearing what everyone’s been up as well! 

We are not being here much, missing so much here! So busy right now! We do need to remember this wonderful cloud of kindness and wonderful food for our heads and hearts. If we miss your notes, it’s because we are in a whirlwind of suburban chaos. We will be here forever, but maybe sporadic these next few years. Thanks for existing here Soundcloud Fam! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Two introverts trying to share music from our hearts, while getting our egos busted and our hearts inspired hearing all of the beautiful music here :)
I think we do bouncy brown or melancholy folk,  and sometimes obnoxiously cheerful folk pop rock.

Check out this music! It’s my favourite.

I don't really have a favorite genre. I could listen to a rock song, a metal song, jazz, pop music, whatever. For me, whatever style it is, it always depends on the chord progression, the lyrics, and the melody used.

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the music.

We are two old friends from KY. Posting songs we recorded many years ago on Tascam cassette recorders...and starting to get together to write and record again on a Tasccam DP24 when our dad schedules allow...hopefully we'll have some new ones to post soon.
