about

Sort of an upbeat tune with a slightly darker topic.

lyrics

The night is falling while you're lying there all alone
The piper's calling, and you're too scared to pick up the phone
You have your escapes but they won't put your mind at ease
There's just no peace now while you're adrift on a stormy sea

You're never gonna find what you're looking for
in a bottle of wine or a convenience store
and you're never gonna get what you want
when you catch the ball if all you do is punt

Life can seem so long if you live in a self-made hell
I've been there myself and you can believe I know it well
(oh I know it so well)
But there's a way out, if you're willing to take a chance
Just pick yourself up and snap out of your wretched trance

You're never gonna find what you're looking for
in a bottle of wine or a convenience store
and you're never gonna get what you want
when you catch the ball if all you do is punt

I know where you are because I've been there to
You just can't figure out what you're supposed to do

You're never gonna find what you're looking for
in a bottle of wine or a convenience store
and you're never gonna get what you want
when you catch the ball if all you do is punt

Tatiana
by Tatiana Moroz

This woman can play some serious folk guitar and she has sultry singing skills. It's hard not to get drawn in. She also loves liberty as much as you do, if not more. Edmund Snyder

Web In The Corner
by Colette O'Connor

I've been following Colette on Soundcloud for some time. I fell in love with her style the first time I heard it. Sometimes her voice reminds me of Carole King, but without King's arrogance. Edmund Snyder

A brand new you
by Dr. Mindflip

I discovered Dr. Mindflip through the Weeklybeats challenge that I'm doing (to write a song each week). His fantastic vocal range and amazing piano chops have drawn me back to his music every week. Edmund Snyder
