Take me way back

Gotta get back

Wanna go back

To when…

To when I was a storm cloud

Take me way back

Gotta get back

Can we go back

To life

Above the burial shroud

Back to times

Of a prime

That I never

Could have

Or see

Or touch

The melody to this is wonderful and I really love the lyrics as always. You capture emotion so well both in your lyrics and music!! <3

[encrefloue]

Thank you so much! The melody came first this time, so I'm glad you found it to be an effective one! <3

[viagra]

Great work, as per usual! It's interesting that we both had similar feelings surrounding this prompt. While we can't really ever go back, there must be a way to reconcile our actual pasts with our nostalgia and with the people we are today. It's just finding that way that seems to elude me...

[encrefloue]

Thank you! That reconciliation is so difficult, but here's to pursuing it in spite of its elusiveness!

That line, "To when there was a future" hits particularly hard right now. I think a lot of us are feeling this these days. 😕

[encrefloue]

Thank you. It is hard to look at that bleak horizon, though it is easier for me to do so while surrounded by this community of creative voices :)

"...To when there was a future..." yeah...this! I enjoyed the melody. It made everything feel more optimistic.

This was really wonderful. I loved the melody. Writing songs is very foreign to me, and you do a great job.
