Nothing

Описание: Today’s the 12th of january is my Dad’s birthday , he likes country a lot . Artists like Jim Reeves … I got a Don Williams style song for him

Jamming on my tele , this one rolled out…
I wanted to write a country type of song…
Well.. this is close to it as it gets when Im trying …

It’s a simple 3 chord sing a long , campfire song…
I wanted to include a steel guitar to make it more authentic,
But unfortunately I don’t have one or know someone who is willing
To fill in the gaps…

Anyway.. I hope you like it as it is…Get your black coffee &
buckle up for the ride

I was humming along and recorded the melody with
Almost complete lines that I rerecorded..didn’t need too much
Of an adjustment.. Nothing had to be in it it..It’s a strong hook..
But also adds a sense of desperation and doom ..Nothing
Becomes an entity on its own..

Intro



Nothing fills the places that I know
Nothing feels like the dark where I go
No romancing memories
Nothing feels like white symphonies
I turn the wheel
While you’re… still part of me


Oooh nothing in the rain that falls
Nothing In the time she calls
Nothing in the stars that glow eternally


Nothing burns the fire when the air grows cold
Nothing feels what’s wrong with what I’m told
Nothing feels what I should believe
And how I escape my destiny
The evil side of good runs into my family


Oooh nothing in the rain that falls
Crimson harvest winter calls
I always carry on singing this one line melody

Solo

I’m going where the cotton grows
Nothing fills this place I know
Nothing in the wind that sails
That I‘ll bring you back when all things fail

I’m having dozens of uncertainties
I feel it so desperate I got-to plead
Guilty is the word that says
Crimson harvest - and nothing less!
