Leave it all for dead - Andy Dursley 2023

Slipping into silence, slipping into space
Knowing that my only want is to see your lovely face again
Hoping for correction, hoping for a score
Craving some true connection......
Just you, me and nothing more

I know there's no credible truth in all we said
Reason has no part to play...should leave it all for dead

Stumbling blindly, tripping over the truth
Both forever mindful of all we had to lose
Counting all our blessings but losing count to soon
Knowing all the words but singing different tunes.

I know there's no credible truth in all we said
Reason has no part to play...should leave it all for dead

I knew you, you knew me
We were us, we were we

So now we've turned full circle, the past is just the past
We're still the same two souls, seems like nothing's ever meant to last
Managing our time well, dealing as we should
With all the shit flying, still nothing really understood

I know there's no credible truth in all we said                                                     
Reason has no part to play...should leave it all for dead

Sorry about the poor recording. This is just a rough live version. If life and all its distractions ever allow me time I'll get around to recording a more polished version.

This is an excellent song,love the picking and the lyrics.
The vocal is excellent as well.
The recording is fine to me.
Very relaxing chilled out vibe.
Well done.

Gorgeous song Andy, nothing beats good fingerpicking on Acoustic guitar. I love the "lo fi recording" here as well, really adds to the atmosphere. Such lyricism as well...beautiful.

I absolutely love this........this is what I like, right here.........great fingerstyle playing and vocals......so fine....makes me think of the great John Martyn a little bit............wonderful piece ....I could listen to this all day..........

I am sure the recording could be better but.... this sounds great as is... the guitar playing is stellar as per usual for you!  I dig your guitar sounds.
and your voice is really great here as well... this one ain't funky but the axe sounds great (reminds me of some of Page's playing in Zep!  Pretty special

The recording is absolutely perfect. Leave it alone! An absolutely sublime song and performance. Sounds like it came out of the 70's - Roy Harper or some other major folk artist. Wish I could finger-pick like that - so good. I love it.

Thanks so much for the amazing comments.  It's definitely encouraged me to getting around to doing a decent recording.

Brilliant stuff Andy. A really powerful piece of music. I do agree with some of the comments. It is great how it is and sounds so natural, but I can't help feeling I would love to hear a slightly better sound quality, only to hear it shine in all it's glory. But in any case you have written a real beauty here.
