the line "clearer eyes" came to me as I was falling asleep last night. kind of a vibe about "waking up", either to reality, consciousness, sobriety, anything really.
Clearer eyes, clearer eyes
Greener grass, brighter skies
Clearer eyes, clearer eyes
Better love, fewer lies
All this time hiding far away
Fifteen years gone by yesterday
Clearer eyes, clearer mind
Genuine real and kind
Clearer eyes, clearer mind
Roam the past, what to find?
All this time hiding far away
Fifteen years gone by yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday

I like the way the song hovers in the vicinity of relief and releasing regrets, and how it leaves space for the listener to pour her own stories into the emotions. It feels like the opposite of denial, a kind of gentle acceptance of whatever led me to now. Beautiful playing and singing.

Lovely melody here. Mad props on the economy of words and those long vowel sounds. Banger of a lyric in that bridge (fifteen years gone by yesterday). Loved your performance of this beautiful song.

Firstly that is some serious fingerpicking. You’re not coming to make up the numbers. Lovely stuff. While I was listening I was getting this strong Beatles vibe, which is obviously a bit weird as this is a soft folky female vocal number - but actually it’s got a bit of the John Lennon song Julia in its dreaminess and almost lullaby melody. Which instantly endears it to me. Beautiful work here.

Gosh, love your finger picking on this! Yes, clearer eyes, can be applied to so many situations. Not sure what you're referring to by "fifteen years" but I like the added intrigue.

This is really lovely as well. Beautiful lyric and performance.
That fifteen years gone by yesterday line is top notch!
Kudos for hanging onto an idea as well. If I don't act on it immediately ideas poof away like yesterday :)

Well done! Great performance and I like the lyrics. Those harmonies are killer.

"15 years gone like yesterday..."
Very nice.

Simple, tasteful, evocative lyrics, beautiful harmonies - I wish I could hang onto the ideas that come to me as I'm falling asleep or waking up.
