Feb 2022 blues
I took a snippet from a an old corpse entry here, and worked it up. Still not complete but here goes.
I've been working so long
Out here in this space
Takin' grief
all alone
Tryin' to find my way
Tied down to this
patch of dirt
Suffering misery
Hopin' and dreamin'
dreamin' to be free
Pre-chorus
But today will be different
I feel it for sure
Freedom is around the corner
Free like me
Chorus
Free like the fish in the sea
Free as the wind
Free like that wonder lust
that never lets me be
I will always ride
It's the life for me
See a lot of countryside
and do what I please
Yeah, see a lot of countryside
Do just what I please
Yeah see a lot of countryside
Do just what I please.

That's a wonderful, unique, soulful piano progression. And the longing in your voice is soul-stirring. Seems pretty complete to me - I dig it!

Sounds very nice and interesting to listen to. I don't think it needs much to complete. I enjoyed my listen very much. Lovely singing and playing, Mike.

Second listen. This already works a great deal to me. Good to hear you sing and play again, Mike. You play the keys like no one else. Loved that last stanza.

There is a lot of potential I'm these lyrics. I hope you turn this into a full song!

Liberating and hopeful lyrics. The piano is really nice. An inspiring ballad!
