Shadow Play
Liner Notes
First one for 2025. Lyrics started as a bit of a free form train of thought, and ended up being about picking yourself up and moving on, in spite of it all...
Lyrics
look the other way you don't hear what they say staring at the moon swirling mystical typhoon
I know her mind is made up been hiding too long I know her mind is made up It's time to sing my song
i don't feel like myself today
one is written three are lost sprint to catch all of my racing thoughts
i don't feel like myself today clouds roll over me in shadow play
The past is gone it’s not too late It’s time to dismantle the gates Cmon and roll the dice with fate
Tomorrow’s just another day tomorrow’s just another day
I know her mind is made up been hiding too long I know her mind is made up It's time to sing my song
i don't feel like myself today clouds roll over me in shadow play i don't feel like myself today clouds roll over me in shadow play
The past is gone it’s not too late It’s time to dismantle the gates C'mon and roll the dice with fate
Tomorrow’s just another day tomorrow’s just another day clouds roll over me in shadow play tomorrow’s just another day

This is really great! I like the guitar and dreamscape vocals and the chord progression on the chorus is quite nice!

Always good to start free form, eventually something good like this song may form from it!

So much I love about this song. The dynamics and rhymes and cascading melody lines. It's catchy. Love your voice too.

I like the fun you're having with scantion and timbre. Still following a clear tempo, but working with it on your own terms.

Very cool you started free form and it ended up having a clear idea shine through. I should try writing like that; my writing may be over-controlled at times. The tone of the electric is cool paired with an acoustic.

I really like your lyrics and it's great when your train of thought turns into something bigger like that. The bluesy guitars are cool, great job.
