Back On Board
by @the_dog
Liner Notes
Singing and playing at the same time! Did this in one take, I'm finally starting to get good enough at guitar where I can actually accompany myself. Also finding a better key to sing in for my voice. Hard to sing and play at the same time, especially with trying to do it in tune.
Rough sketch, just pointed my mic at myself and recorded after I finished writing.
Lyrics
Verse1
Back here again, thought I found my way out Guess I was wrong, so I’m Writing this song
That’s ok I know my way I’ve spent a lot of time here Got nothing to fear
Chorus
I’m back on Board Nothing in scope Hang onto hope
I’m back on Board I’m all alone Feels like home
You closed the Door Now it’s time To say goodbye
I’m back on Board I can’t stay Guess I’ll be on my way
Verse2
We can’t be friends Yes it’s the end Good intentions Unrealistic
Gave you space Get me out of this place There’s no time Draw the line

I really enjoy acoustic one-takes of newly written songs. I think they are kind of magical. It is hard to strum like that and sing vocals over it - well done. I think it sounds great! Yep there is nothing to fear - write away - we love it! Great song.
really nicely written chorus melody. nice singing and playing!
