Liner Notes

After a very long day and more than little whiskey I was heading to bed when I start singing some new lines. Not wanting to forget them I started writing. Words flowed easy and in a few minute the song was finished. I was going to play it on mandolin, but opted for a banjo, which has been untouched for at least a year because I can't get the hang of it. I tried a few open G guitar shapes and got noise that I liked, and did this #acousticonetake, real banjo song. I like the feel of the song and will probably play at unsuspecting civilians in local venues. I've also decided to learn to play banjo for real.

Lyrics

‘LOVE?’

They talk no talk of leaving
Not a word about will stay
They ought to make a decision though
Before one or both of them get hurt

Each lost in their own reflection
Mostly in different rooms
Not like way back in the day
When they savoured proximity

Silence leads to speculation
About what is on the other’s mind
Silence is a fissure, it’s a crack,
Through which indifference creeps

There can't be a right or a wrong side
If both are at fault
Neither wants to shoulder that burden
Neither one could carry the blame

So it goes piling up
Until their world implodes
Words spoken, action taken
Leaving no way back
