What a Strange Year

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, think there was a red wine too many when I wrote the lyrics to this one. Hope you enjoy.     Willie

Fender Jazzmaster,  Fende Precision,  noises from GarageBand

The man with no name was lying in his bed
Thinking of the words that he'd just read
What a strange year, what a strange this has been

The scarecrow was laughing fit to bust
There was no love in his heart only lust
What a strange year, what a strange year this has been
What a strange year, what a strange year this has been

Instrumental

I was hearing music in my ears
I could hear those words oh so clear
What a strange year, what a strange year this has been
What a strange year, what a strange year this has been

Outro

Great song and great playing. It has been a strange year, hasn't it?

[Farrell Jackson]

Indeed Willie...what a strange year this has been. I can hear the emotion transferring from your finger tips right into your guitar for some nice emotive playing. Excellent vocals and lyric that will resonate with many....well done!

[Blooby]

I'm with Farrell. I hear emotion coming through in this, which I would say is one of the highest compliments given about any tune.

Is that oscillating sound a guitar and a tremolo effect? Adds a nice touch. Dug that bass when it creeps up the neck a bit. Cool part.

[hardlock]

Outstanding song Willie! Love the vocals and guitar line and the great tones you get. A powerful yet smooth flowing number!

[Mike_S]

I like the lyrics Willie. No doubt though it has been a very strange year. I like this tune, it has a reflective quality that I love. Something strange and mysterious about it and some cracking guitar too.

Right out of the gate your guitar solo reminded me of PJD1 and that is quite good....and I like lyrics that make you think about the meaning a bit... and a bit of strange too.... is many respects this has actually been one of my best years...I realize it has been very difficult for many...and I have had my moments too...usually when I watch too much of the thing masquerading as news.....
I like your music Willy....
