Not Just an Echo

The Gobi Desert Canoe Club · June 21, 2018, 11:34:49 AM

Last one for a bit, Mrs Willie back tonight and I expect she will find some chores for me to do.
All rhythm tracks Fender Tim Armstrong Electro Acoustic, Fender Telecaster and Fender Precision. Strings Roland JD-Xi. Drums BR900cd.
Hope you enjoy. Willie

I look out my window
Just hoping to see
Somebody real
And not memories

And not just an echo
Of what used to be
No not just an echo
Of you and me

Tripped out in the hallway
On our broken dreams
The silence was killing
Of my silent screams

And not just an echo
Of what used to be
No not just an echo
Of you and me

Instrumental

And not just an echo
Of what used to be
Not just an echo
Of you and me

The shadows are crawling
"cross my bedroom floor
They seem to make pictures
Of what went before

And not just an echo
Of what used to be
No not just an echo
Of you and me

Very beautiful, Willie. It recalls someway to my mind the Stones' Lady Jane.

Real nice and mellow Willie. The Tim Armstrong acoustic sounds excellent. This song could be well suited for Peter, Paul and Mary if they were still performing (maybe they are?). Ha, I'm showing my old folkie influences, lol. Well done!

This is fantastic, Willie - love the arpeggios, the strings, your vocals - the works.

More great work Willie. It's very melancholy and the arrangement really suits the lyrics. The Roland strings add to the lush feel and as always the vocals and harmonies are spot on. Extremely catchy as well, I'm already humming "not just an echo".....

Pure class as always. Lush and thoughtful, and the guitar arpeggios and interplay are fantastic. Really like the transition when the soft beat comes in.
