Feb 2022 americana folk-rock banjo 12-string-electric
Went very americana with this one and busted out the banjo for the first time in years. Got the drums with brushes, acoustic, lots of guitars and organ. I think I like it, still deciding. Kind of has a Jayhawks meets the Eagles meets REM feel?
V1
If I could make a brand new start
And just break these bonds apart
Maybe I’d mend this paper heart
That’s been torn to shreds
Mmm
If I just left and walked away
Packed a bag got on a plane
Would I fail or find my way
Time will tell I guess
Mmm
CH
Leaps of faith are blind
You never know if
What you left behind
Was the best or
Just a stop along the line
On the way to shine
V2
There’s just one life one chance we get
To make a dream or a mess of it
Guess it’s time I placed my bet
before I reach the end
Mmm
CH
Leaps of faith are blind
You never know if
What you left behind
Was the best or
Just a stop along the line
On the way to shine
V3
I’m gonna try a brand new way
To forge a path to a brighter day
Got no words left I need to say
Except I wish you well

Another quality composition and performance beautifully encapsulated in a polished production. Delightful song!

You just "think you like it"?!? It's fantastic, man. Love me some jangly, 12-string Rickenbacker type pop action and this is the absolute prescription. Perfect!

Awesome!

I absolutely love this tune!! Definitely REM meets Jayhawks going on in my headphones listening to this. Fantastic work!

That opening riff is gold. The whole song's light-footed but rock solid. Top stuff. Great to see you back, Joshua.

Stole my attention right from the beginning and kept it until the end. Amazing job overall!
