First skirmish this year..... After hardware and software drama - uploading the recording.... Might play with this one a little more after FAWM is over this year because I like the theme very much..... Story of my life LOL.....
V
A dog - at the pound is waiting
for someone to take him home
Watches people walk in
As he's chewing on that bone
C
Better late than never
Even if it took forever
better late than never
Even if it took forever
V
Really wanted that one job
but they never called
finally accepted something else
after that I got the call
V
Set my sights on this one guy
barely seemed to notice me
He went through several girlfriends
2 months ago we were married

Amen! I wholeheartedly concur with every single verse. The twist at the end of them is great! Guitar sounds good too! :)

I was waiting for your audio, so glad I’ve come back to listen. I love the spacey feel you’ve got. Such a chilled song, fitting the better late than never theme so well.

I like the vignette style you used here. Each mini story contributes to the overall theme. Good work.
@keithcuts Feb 2022
awe what a range of emotions represented here!
joy, longing, fear, winning
well written song done quickly Pattie!
@metalfoot Feb 2022
I like the way it came together for the narrator in the final verse! Better late than never indeed!

Well, they say the best dogs come from the pound. First heard that after I left one terrible job to work a better one. This song has love, work and a dog all in one--nice!
@pattie Feb 2022
Thank you so much for the comments - thought I was cruising through this one with time to spare and had file type problems in the end..... Yikes.

Good structure. But I hope your narrator doesn't end up going through the pain that Cindyrella's has . ;-)
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Very creative take on this skirmish! Nice flow and idea
@pearlmanhattan Feb 2022
Well written - I like how each verse is a snapshot - a photo and the chorus echoing such longing through irony! Great skirmish!
