I stare into the blinking light
I try to bring about something right
But I get into a fight or flight
I try and I try
Coz I get overzealous and I get confused
When everything around me crashes and I lose
Whatever semblance of a whole that I was holding to
And I get overzealous and I get confused
Underneath all of these flickering lights
I’m staring down the tunnel right
Underneath all of these flickering lights
I’m staring down the tunnel light
At the end just flitters out of sight
At the end just flitters out of sight
Well I get overwhelmed sometimes I get too confused
Something overcomes me when I hear the news
Well, I get overzealous I forget to choose
Feel the gravity weighing me down
All the colors sticking to me like a clown
The light molecules colliding all around
The light molecules colliding all around
Underneath all of these flickering lights
I’m staring down the tunnel light
At the end just flitters out of sight
At the end just flitters out of sight

"flitters," also a perfect description of your fast finger picking throughout, and really like the melody and phrasing. Cool song and awesome one-take!

Man if only I could do that with my fingers, This is a one-take ?? Always kive kudos to someone who can bring a whole song to life with just an acoustic and voice, well done

Beautiful. And I was not expecting the vocal melody to go where it went in the chorus. Gee this is nicely crafted.
Thanks for leaving a comment on something I did, because I wouldn't have found this.

Guitar in particular is lovely!

Always in awe of your guitar playing and your vocals sound beautiful too. There’s a real beauty in the warmth, intimacy of this track and this flickering light imagery in the lyrics. This song is a keeper for sure. We had some lyrical synchronicity going on talking about feeling gravity.

Wow, that's some impressive guitar picking. So beautiful, like you've released millions of butterflies into the sky. I really like your voice. The chorus is so great. I get the chills when you sing "overzealous." Colors sticking like a clown--a great line among many. You make me feel something here, for sure

Very awesome man! LOVE the sound of your acoustic... what mic/setup do you use to record it? The flamenco guitar work reminds me of Love forever changes.
@k8sikora Feb 2022
Gorgeous guitar picking! That is the Karenin I know. I love the vocal swells.. this song has so much movement. So happy that you’re doing FAWM. I don’t have much of a recording setup, but maybe we can try to collaborate
