Here's a new acoustic ballad just co-written with my best friend and recorded on the BR800.   It's a song about reflecting back on the passing of time and how one has spent that time.   Two acoustic guitars, two voices.  Hope you like it.


Solicitude      words and music by Vance Grazio & Mark E. Porro   c 2016 
   
Future in shadows, horizon is near
The light you once looked for, the light you now fear.
Left to your thoughts, in the darkness of night,
Race to the finish, and finish the fight

Gather together, remnants of youth,
In pictures and memories, discounting the truth.
The love we are made of, the souls that we are,
Will live on forever, in the cosmos and stars

Time borrowed, cannot be renewed,
Living life in pure solicitude

How do we let go?       How do we say good-bye?
If you had the chance would you do it all again

Climbed up the mountains, reached for the sky,
Searching for answers, always asked "why",
Shrouded in mystery, not meant to know,
All becomes clearer, after you go.

Time borrowed, cannot be renewed,
 Living life in pure solicitude
Living life in pure solicitude.       
"Play because you love it. Don't worry about if it will ever make any money, just understand that playing is an end in itself, and you play music, it will make your life better. And, don't worry about being a star, don't worry about making money, worry about nothing, just sit down with your guitar and let it speak to you and that will make your life better. It will bring beauty into your life. It's a great thing to do."     ---- David Crosby

What a fine song.  Gentle and peaceful.  Great harmonies and you have captured the tone of the guitars beautifully.

Really enjoyed this one.

I was listening in my lunchtime after an all-morning review meeting, just what I needed.  Thanks.

This recording sounds warm and beautiful even on my crappy PC-speakers. I'll have to listen again on better speakers  :) Well done!
