And So It Begins

So It Begins mc/20250201

So it begins, we’re just bombing along Trying our best to squeeze out this first song Just picking our way from one note to the next Just hoping to get a good start to this FAWM

The sun’s shining bright, the sky is clear blue I was sure that this ditty would create something new But alas I’m afraid I will always end up With the same flipping tune, so what will I do

I’ll sulk, and I’ll fret but I’ll keep plugging on With tears in my eyes, my incentive near gone I should go for a walk in this glorious day And hopefully blow all my cobwebs away

A walk in the park, maybe finding my muse As I trundle along in my old running shoes My spirit will brighten, at least this one time I’ll come up with something, I’ve nothing to lose

That’s all very fine, but then what will come next Will I plummet again and become sorely vexed When the sky become cloudy, and the snow starts to fall Maybe hell freezes over, will I quit after all.

No way. Each cloud, every snowflake is blessed With a song of its own, whether happy or sad Who cares if we find ourselves down in the dumps Just write the damn song, get it done, and be glad.

All the ways I move in my old running shoes, trundling is not usually one of them. 2025 should be the year of greater trundles :) Hopefully without much Hell freezery.

And so it ends; thanks for the songs, Mike!

I feel personally attacked by this relateable content. This is a great first song. Keep 'em coming.

This is dripping with good vibes and that jaunty rhythm is a joy! I love it!

An epic first song about a first song, will there be a second song about the second song? 😊 I've never heard anyone do that before. I like your chirpy delivery what is a very frustrating feeling (I've been there), your singing and conversational delivery are great, I'd like to hear you tell another story!

Ah Mike. Your musical storytelling is so charming and delightful. Jaunty self deprecation with a cobweb swept swagger in old running shoes. You’re a marvel.
