Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #acousticrock
Another throwback, probably a late 1960s style. The ruthless efficiency of closing a business after it fails, in contrast to the need to have it all make sense.

Lyrics

Too late to save it
The bank said it was doomed
The last bids are in
Now we’re clearing the room

I’ve got the papers
The chair’s in the van
Four more hours
Carry out what we can

My high priestess
Something here to learn
No more questions
Candles burn

My high priestess
Something here to learn
No more questions
Candles burn

It was good while it lasted
I know that’s sad to say
Only way to get past it
Is by turning away

There is only forward
No turning back
Cut the last cord
Fade to black

My high priestess
Something here to learn
No more questions
Candles burn

My high priestess
Something here to learn
No more questions
Candles burn

I've worked for a couple of businesses that went under. You told the story well and captured that empty feeling. Good work.

@kahlo2013 5w

I like the short lines and the message in the chorus. I like the focus on moving forward despite a bad situation. Great delivery!

@tjeff 5w

Really good story about what could be a very unhappy event, but this singer is taking it all in stride and seems to be looking on the bright side. I like those extended sus chords too.

@sunfire 5w

Love that title. Lyrics, vocals and playing all work well together.
Creative take on the prompt. Enjoyed listening.

@musicsongwriter 5w

Very well written and performed song. Strong, catchy and melodious. Meaningful lyrics and fantastic delivery. Very cool take on the prompt.

Yes, this does sound very mid to late 60s. Very Al Stewart in feel (before he went all "Year of the Cat").

I am saddened every time I see a shop closing in our town. That place represented someone's dream, they may have sunk their savings into the venture and now must feel defeated and broken. You express that all well here.

@val 5w

I think if I owned a business, this would be my greatest fear. You do a good job of showing the contrasting thoughts involved. I really the melody. Very sing-alongable. Cool guitar part.

@strumandstress 5w

A definite 60's vibe- I can imagine some Byrds type harmonies in there. I enjoyed it very much.
