Hello, Me

Skirmish: Throwback Thursday - Old ... (@dudachris)Liner Notes
I wrote the "warm hand" stanza on the first day of FAWM and couldn't develop it further at the time. Then I scribbled some stuff last night right before going to bed, got this skirmish prompt in the morning, and mashed it all together.
Recording rough (I just wrote this in an hour, yeesh!) It could definitely be a thing! Thanks for the skirmish.
Lyrics
It takes so long to become To see through the buckets of rain To know that you deserve to be your home To build yourself when you are broken with pain
But one day halfway through You’ll be wondering Why the air is light, the storm is fading out to sea A soft voice says, “hi, hello, me.”
It takes so long to become To keep showing up for yourself Be the person you can always trust To keep you moving when you’re going through hell
A warm hand touched my face A kind eye saw my Mess the things I guess I don’t want anyone to see A soft voice said, “hi, hello, me”
One stitch here, one patch there Thread your needle through Felt like tiny little scrippy scraps then, But now it’s one whole you.

Great guitar work and a very interesting melody on top. Lovely voice, good lyrics, what's not to like! Thanks for posting

I really like the picking on this, including that intro. "Scrippy scraps" is a charming lyric, and this song is charming overall. Lovely vocals! I like the melodic bounce on "one day halfway through." I think a lot of people will relate and find these lovely lyrics uplifting and encouraging and honest.

For some reason the lyrics make me think of dealing with chronic illness and encountering self-love.
This imagery is so unique and cool: One stitch here, one patch there Thread your needle through Felt like tiny little scrippy scraps then, But now it’s one whole you.

I like it. Interested in hearing a not so rushed version. You have everything you need here. Great Job!

I like the mood and emotional narrative. The paradox works well too. A whole song!
