Title: "Always" a Hook original
Post by: Hook on August 15, 2019, 09:17:40 AM
Wrote this yesterday, recorded this morning LITLR at the kitchen table. Kala Archtop Uke & the BR80.
Always
written & performed by Hook
Where do you go
when you feel blue
who do you turn to
Do you have someone
Or are you alone
So far from home

There will always be a place for you
Right here with us
We will always love you
Thats something you can trust
You can go your own way
I truly do understand
But know I'll be here for you
Waiting to fit back in your plan

Who do you ask
When you dont know
I really miss that role
If you are scared
Who will comfort you
Thats suppose to be me too

Beautiful. Loved the way you play on the verse, very nice touch on it. And the chord progression on chorus is just fantastic!

What do you say to one of the most prolific songwriters you know?

Once again, you've exposed your heart to the world.  This time your heart break has created a mournful song of acceptance..  Just..  Simply moving and..  Beautiful.

Thank you, Hook.

This is so beautiful. so touching. Minimalistic but so perfect. Beautifully sung and played. To me playing this kind of song would be difficult to play because of timing, but you play it perfectly.

You lay your heart right out there brother.
So,it's now Saturday night at 11.56pm,I'm lying in my bed in Glasgow,Scotland with my headphones in listening to this sites stuff and I play this,emersed in the dark except for the light of the iPad and I'm there,right there in that space in your head and I feel that emotion and fragility in those words.
You could put this story to a hundred different scenarios,it's like looking at art,everyone sees and feels something different .
There is always something in music we can cling to.
Always a lyric we can register with.
And always a vibe we can connect with.
My point really is your in Florida,I'm in the Uk but something connects in words and in music and makes you put yourself in the same space,so powerful bro.
Respect.

Wow. Playing catch up here and this is so raw and heartfelt. It really shows in the performance. Simple but very, very effective.
