This improvised song is what it is... a snapshot of my thoughts at a particular point in time.
I was just going to improvise playing/singing for a while and then mine what i've done for later projects. But this is literally the first 3-4 minutes of recording; i thought i was just warming up basically. Somehow this song fell out, and though it's really rough around edges, it kinda describes a conversation i was just having with a friend of mine; who didn't believe me a few days ago when i said i was unfortunatly pretty sure Russia was going to attack Ukraine. But now we are both sad, angry, disgusted by the never ending saga of man's aggression towards man. Such stupidity.
Song needs much help. Honestly the words up to and including the first chorus are what I'd consider a template for a decent song. Everything after is noodling with words... read or listen at your own risk.
Exactly as i told you
i had a notion
you didn't wanna believe
wars of passion
have turned into
yesterdays story
there's another war now
you gotta breathe
CH:(?)
why do we hate?
if we're so evolved
why's there any debate?
I'm a man who loves his brother
don't you?
don't you?
... (rest of this is just a bunch of vocal confetti that I could pick from later)
why does man despise the other one
why do we close our eyes to the other's suffering
why can't a man define himself
by the manner of his loving
and not by the weapons
that he totes
as he mows over
BR:(?)
you.... don't deserve this
no one deserves this
all you ever wanted
was peace and quiet
a family that doesn't have to hide
and to find love inside
why why why
so much suffering?

This is really great for a improv. With some polishing it has the making of a really beautiful and moving song.
