Accidental synthwave. I hated this at first, but it's not bad. I kind of feel like this is me, in the 80s, driving home from work along palm tree lined high way. I had a bad day writing fortran for my job and I'm burnt out.

Who will break this ice
sleepwalking through the pines

Subtle change of gray light
Heart breaks in sync with the sky
As it cries over open fields and tall stands of pines, their delight

And I pulled an empty bottle and I held it to the breeze.

This is yesterday's track, back to the original melody with cross-picked guitar added (oy! that was tough). I see the template for a proper song now, and over the coming days I'll add to this and I hope to end up with something...

Maybe I’m someone
Or maybe I’m not
A tree falls in the forest

Whether I like it or not

It’s too early for peaches
And it’s too late…

Worries Never Win
Verse 1:
Worries have never solved
The things that ache my heart.
Pacing the midnight floors,
