Feb 2022 guitar
This barely meets the "body part"challenge, but I wouldn't have thought of using "feet" in the lyrics if not for the challenge floating into my consciousness.
Yes, the hand drum is clumsy! Maybe I should have left if out. But I am even more clumsy at programming drums...
The guitars here are tuned F#–A#–C#–F#–A#–F# just for the fun of trying it.
OK, on to the next song.....
You’re strong on your feet
and also quite sweet
and it suits you
You make your own time
but you’ll stand in the line
if you need to
i hope it’s not to late to tell you
You may not know
and i don’t always show
how i feel about you
You are my guide
my light and my sky blue
I hope it’s not too late to tell you
And as the sunlight fades away
I don’t want to wait another day
To tell you
Things I keep inside
I’m not trying to hide
them from you
Thoughts locked away
can be so hard
to get to
I hope it’s not too late to tell you

Your melody lines inspire me to experiment more. They can sometimes be unusual and catchy. The sparseness of the instrumentation works really well with the lyrics. And that tuning! Amazing.
@sherrycanary Feb 2022
Love the tuning and your voice is sparkling on this sweet song.

This is a lovely song.

Made me want to smoke a joint and kick back in my office chair! :)

Your voice is butter. So sweet. I like the phrasing of the lyrics. I'm getting a Beatles vibe here. And I'm wondering if "sky blue" is an ELO reference?

Lovely melody. I really like the lead guitar part and the bridge is great. It could be mixed up into a classic full band song but then again I like it just as it is.
@anthonykapfer666 Feb 2022
so great. really catchy. love the guitar tone and the playing. really nice harmonies
@tinear Feb 2022
Such a minimal chord structure but the melody is great so it just carries the song perfectly. Good lyrics too and they fit the song nicely
@mctown Feb 2022
Sweet song. Nice lyric.
@dudachris Feb 2022
There's a few layers to this that I really enjoy. The guitar work, as mentioned below was really nice. Also, vocals created a 'dreamy shimmer' that really worked. Great write!
@williamjames Feb 2022
Love your guitar tone! The riff is gnarly and fits the mood very well. The hand drumming is perfectly okay for this occasion! The chorus melody is very good!
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nice write! The hook / refrain hits a classic vein. When the B3 came in on the bridge, it put a smile on my face.
