Typical, you spend hours trying to tease something into shape that still eludes you, then this pops out in about the time it takes to play it. Got to laugh! :)
COMPLICATED CORNERS
Sunrise after winter, it's been a long time
Too many lost bridges
Houses you lived in, they're no home for you now
All of those complicated corners
Where you try to hide the fallout
Where shadows never fade in the sun
Though the flowers wilt and colours run.
Dining after famine
The wine goes straight to your head
You won't reimagine the misguided fashions
You don't second guess why you doubt
And the long black veil of yesterday
Keeps tripping you up as you walk away
Waking after breakdown, it takes a lot to untie
Falling for trappings, no more than wrapping
Rewarded for all you avoid

This has been stuck in my head all week. Great song
@cblack Feb 2022
The lyrics are perfect for your voice. Your voice carries the story's emotions so well. Really good song here!

I like the vocals and the internal rhymes: lost bridges/houses you lived in; famine/reimagine/fashions. A lot to like here. Great lyrics: The long black veil of yesterday. My kind of song!

Yes the ones that drop from the sky often have the magic in them. This one does on a first listen. Love these lyrics.
@mk2021 Feb 2022
Love the lyrical content here, Andy. Especially- 'you don't second guess why you doubt'. Love the contradictions within the lines.
@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2022
Songs that come out almost complete are the best ones. Like this one.
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 2022
Lovely song! I really enjoyed your melody and phrasing. Nice delivery, you've got a nice voice. Some nice lines in the lyric as well. That chorus is catchy. Good job.

This is beautiful Andy and sounds like it's been days/week in the making. I'm impressed with the volume and high quality of your FAWM songs.
