Liner Notes
This isn't really what I had in mind, but this is what came out, so FAWM it and move on. Might be the germ of a post-FAWM song or it might go in the reject pile. Voice not in great shape tonight. #rough #folk #fingerpicking

The Tarot ©2025 - words and music by Sharon Stepler
Good afternoon Do come in So you’re here at the urging of a friend? Your heart is right there On your sleeve That's OK - you don't have to believe
Hold this crystal Good energy Let me pour you some ginger tea Take a deep breath Let it go Concebtrate on what you need to know
The Tarot holds a mirror to your mind Reflecting what’s inside The Tarot shows you what is true The rest is up to you
I'll lay out A three-card spread Past, Present, and what lies ahead I will read them one by one May you have clarity when we’re done
The Three of Swords Is Yesterday I sense that in the past you were betrayed So much pain So many tears It ’s the reason you are here
CH
The Hanged Man Card for today Means acceptance is the only way The Chariot Tomorrow's card Time to move on athough it's hard oh, oh, oh
From your expression I can see It isn't what you want but it's what you need You want to stay Want to believe But that's a broken heart on your sleeve
CH 2x

That guitar is soothing. You'd make a great siren or will o' the wisp.
Beautiful guitar playing, a sweet melody and a compelling story/meaning!
Lovely guitar and beautiful vocals that deliver such a supportive song inspired by the Tarot. Wonderfully approach and great song!
I would put that into the rerecord-pile. The guitar take is great, but I hear your struggle in the vocals at certain parts. The vocal melody is good and the story is clear.
