Hello everyone and Happy Friday!!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D
Here is a Different type of a tune that I usually write. It's called "SIGH" of the Times. I guess this could be in the Country Genre. The music of this song was written while I was experimenting with some Alternative Guitar Tunings. D-G-D-G-B-D. The Words Came After the Music was Completely Written and came to be, rather quickly. Have a Great Weekend!!!JIM

Lyrics Start at 52 seconds into the Song and may be a little Low in the Mix.
Sorry about that.

Time's a Changin, you can't believe it, all the people that are wandering about their life. Emotionless faces, in all the same places, side by side in the Black of the Night.

Once upon a Night Time we hear the Thunder and the Blinding Stress Cracks are taking over the Sky. Your Rollin with the Punches, two steps a Forward is the sounds of the Storm just an Old Man's SIGH?

Repeat Verse 1 & 2

Superfine song here Jim.  I like this big time.  That alternate strumming sounds very cool.  Great lyrics and singing.  Yup, I like.

Great song Jim, I love your sound with the tuning.
Best of all is your lyrics and the vox.
Only wishing that the vox was a little louder in the mix.
