A quick 20-minute write and record. One take for each of guitar and vocals. Someone Else we said goodbye it’s true There was nothing more we could do that was it,it seemed, for us and I don’t mean to make a fuss but there’s word going round in our little town I’ve heard you tried […]

Late submission, was on mini vacation. Here’s my take for “Fragile” You kept me on a shelf like a porcelain plate One of many trophies You were afraid to break I went over the edge Fragile but I’m not dead I went over the edge Fragile but I’m not dead Like a bird in a […]

He’s tucked under a tree – the farm’s up the hill A water bucket by his side He decided to rest before completing the fill So under the tree he’ll hide   Oh boy in blue what can you teach Is your moment of peace one I can reach Can I sit with you quietly […]

I’ve been wanting to dust off (literally) my resonator guitar for a while. Finally found a place for it. Thanks to Donna for the inspiring theme.

I had to redo my entry for this. Since I posted last night I had the picture in my heac of the little dead boy Alyan at the beach from last year. And this morning I had to get it out. So this obviously took me with the thinking and all that more than one […]

I changed the prompt a little to reflect a photograph. It can be found here What will it take to make this world a better place and all to live in peace What will it take to calm the angry words and live in harmony What will it take to accept me as your sister […]

Because of work I am so behind. This song is for Prompt 53 and 54, the Grief and Fragile Prompt. Title: All Too Soon Verse 1 She stares out the window Low hanging clouds forbode She sips a fresh cabernet Holding a dried pressed rose She reads his last letter Edges torn and brown His […]

Theme: Fragile I got nothin’ from this theme but I wrote something this week, at least an A section, so I figured I’d throw it on the pile.  It’s an instrumental so only the title has a vague relation to the prompt.  It’s not even pronounced the same.  “Fraj” (pronounced “fry”) means free in […]

I decided to go a little experimental on this one. Big stretch for me.
