Faded Memories ( #1 Farrell and Lorne)

[Farrell Jackson]

It's been a while since I recorded or posted anything due to recovery from back surgery. Things are going well so it's time to jump back in. A friend, 8$Rum (Lorne) sent me this track for vocal additions so I re-did/re-purposed some words and added the vocals.

Lorne Reid - Composer, all music.
Farrell Jackson - Lyric, vocals, and melody.

Faded Memories

(V1) An old blue truck
Sits in the driveway
With rot on the fenders
Cigarettes in the ashtray

The tires are cracked and flat
From the sun's rays
It wears the faded paint
Dulled since it's hay day

( Chr) Faded memories are everywhere
There's a chest full... sittin right over there
Reminding me of the past
And how life goes so fast
Faded memories are everywhere
Faded memories are everywhere

(Solo)

(V2) An old beat up tool box
Sits in the corner of the garage
It's not been opened in years
Not since it fixed the last Dodge

But it sits there proudly
Covered in dust and rust
Like a badge of honor
Saying "In God We Trust"
(Chr)

(Bridge) (outro)
Probate closed today, it's time to sell the house
Pack it up, toss it out, and give it all away
Letting go is never quite as easy as it seems
A place where my faded memories spent their last days

An old blue truck
Sits in the driveway
With rot on the fenders
Cigarettes in the ashtray
It's on the way...... to it's final resting place
Where the memories.....will fade away

What a cool song! It sounds like you wrote it in the same room at the same time.
Love the lyrics/vocals, and the music is fantastic. What can I say? It works in every way.
Congrats to you guys!

Your voice is sounding great as always, Farrell, and it sits perfectly over the rocking track from your friend. Also, glad to hear you're on the mend!

You guys are really on the same page on this track. Whatever you are doing individually goes hand in glove together. Great rockin number, right up my street, (great guitar sound).
