I think that's everyone who attended the zoom meeting at the beginning when I mentioned the new Kontact software for acoustic guitar that I've just bought. I intend to use it for songwriting. This took about half an hour. I just wanted to demo the amazing sound quality of the acoustic guitar. Well worth the investment I'd say.
Well, my brief acoustic demo turned into a fully developed song sketch called:
The Great Beyond.
Some folk are blessed with so much love.
They smile despite the worst of times.
They carry goodness in their hearts.
If I could go back to the start, I would with you.
I took for granted everything.
Thought you’d always be around.
I should have given you the world.
Missiles flew and flags unfurled.
Still, you were true.
Mother darling, will we meet again.
The wisdom of children like droplets of rain.
Hold me in your seaside arms again.
I pray that angels take you home,
where rainbows stretch across the sky.
Where mountains climb and sea birds fly,
where flowers grow and never die.
The great beyond.
Mother darling, will we meet again.
The wisdom of children like droplets of rain.
Hold me in your seaside arms again.
The great beyond.
The great beyond.
The great beyond.
