I do lyrical themes every year and this year’s theme is the previous year - same theme as last year…since we seem to be on repeat.
Simple downer song about a bar regular gone missing. Gone for good? Not really a biographical reference so maybe it doesn't match my theme, but whatever. My regular DOES have a.painting of a dead guy hanging in it, so there you go.
Down on the corner
They keep your picture on the wall
They keep your picture on the wall
And that is all
Down on the corner
I play your jukebox in the hall
I play your jukebox in the hall
And that is all

Dang, so simple, and a bit haunting. One of the bars I've played at for a long time has a wall full of paintings/photos of the ones who are gone.
Says a lot in so little.

The lyrics drew me in, and your voice is nice and mysterious. Still not sure about the meaning, but the feel was good.

Nice write: the "persistence of memory" bit works well.
