It seems like it's been a while since I've improvised some lyrics, so this morning that's what I decided to do. No surprise, familiar themes returned to my lyrical output… Oh well. At some point I'll have to deal with my inner dæmons, n'est-ce pas?

This was completely improvised in one take, live-to-tape. What you hear is what was played live "as the tape rolled." I made up the lyrics as I sang them. I went with the music as it flowed from my fingers into the strings of my Stratocaster. Not much else I can say about the technical side of this…

On to the next one…

See You In The Shadows…

Lyrics

Your Touch
=========

In the night
I try to find you
And I'll run thru the lights
That flicker around
My mind
My mind is so lost
So lost
All I want to feel is
Your touch

Where's your touch?
I'll follow you tonight
Where's your touch?
It's all I want to feel tonight
Your touch…

Your touch
It's all I feel tonight
Your touch
It's all I feel tonight
Your touch
It's all…

Really captures the longing and singing to oneself feeling, well done transition from the mid section to build up to the emotional ending!

Beautiful guitar and vocals, as always. Really convey the lostness and the longing. When I first started writing songs, they were all about the crap I was going through with my family. I wondered why I couldn't write love songs like everybody else - lol! But then my mother died last 50/90 and I wrote some of my best stuff at that time. But now that's all behind me, this 50/90 is mostly about love-themed ballads. I'm finally getting to that... yay!

your guitar sound is spectacular. i love the prominent melodies and the distant echoes. stellar vocals and i especially like the passionate wails on the chorus.
