An old song, recently produced
it was interesting getting back into it
I could have done more but I really want to press on with the new material.

Feedback very welcome
I hope you enjoy the song. Happy new year!

Lyrics:

the wonder that precedes the thunder

I haven't got what it takes to quit
'just play my hand n' get on with it
some might pray or say it's written in the stars
holding up answers with exclamation marks
toss an easy catch, all passions run from me!
strike another match, noncommittal and care-free

you wanna' slow 't down, then I'm gonna' get off
'paid for my ticket, now I'm not gonna' stop
'swear it's like a habit to be hoodwinked, short changed
this time we're gonna' go the whole, damn way
this time we're gonna' go the whole, damn way

down in the valley we were almost lost
with the songs of the river n' the light so soft
th' jury dispersed when the judge didn't show
th' accused left standing n' th' case was never closed
deft slight of hand, murder in the first degree
void of reprimand, footloose n' fancy-free

Ooh hooo...

the wraith on your mast and your blinking cunt
will guide these stars 'til my days are done
but did you ever stop for a moment t'ponder
the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder
the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder

Ooh hooo...

the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder

Wonderful to hear another track from you @rightly This is ingeniously creative and original. What an incredible soundscape you have created. I love the way that you always push the boundaries. A brilliant piece of original music

My favorite line: "holding up answers with exclamation marks". Love it! The rumbling (thunder, I assume) sounds throughout were great.

This was a VERY interesting experience, I don't remember hearing a song like that before!

Thanks.
Those thunder sounds, partly come from a demolished piano.
Those pianos don't know when to quit.

Thanks Theresa
The song comes from a tumultuous time in my life.
I used to bash out this song on acoustic guitar
to an unappreciative audience...
There was always something about the song
 that I couldn't describe, or exploit, but I liked it.
It's a key song to my armoury.

I haven't one of your songs in a while. But you definitely don't disappoint here. This is excellent. You have a style all of your own and this really hits the spot for me. Well done..a great track.

Hi ho silver, away!

Hi @rightly

A very interesting and curious production. It's not the kind of music I would normally listen to but that said, I enjoyed the experience and can't fault the production. Very original.

Yes, it's great you enjoyed the listen.
I've always struggled with music.
I may have taken some unusual routes on account of not knowing any better.
It's certainly no more a blessing than it is a curse.
Hey I'm  just installing upgraded software on a new laptop.
Really looking forward to future productions. Stay tuned.

Oooh wait, how did I miss this?  I know the soundscape is different and also the vocal register etc, but I’m having a Velvet Underground moment with this track and that is just great by me. I know I will be listening to this one again.

Cheers - John.

Woah. Thanks John.
I did this after a  long break
I struggled with it until
I just didn't know anymore
So I thought, done, time to move on.
Then I started to listen to it and enjoyed it
