Time After Time A song of reflection (and a fox). Leon - Lyric & Vocal I played guitar & sang a bit. The Band: RealTracks in style: 3123:Bass, Acoustic, Pop8thsSteady Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2195:Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm CoolJazzPopHeld Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 677:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RockBritDriving Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 668:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SouthernRock Ev 085 (B:steady) RealTracks in song: 2668:Pedal Steel, Background WestCoastBallad Ev 065 RealDrums [in Song:AmericanaSlow8thsFred: a: Snare, HiHat b: Snare, Ride
Time After TimeLook out my window, there’s brother fox What’s he doing in my garden? Some things never change and some get lost Some hearts soften and some harden Some thoughts are hard to keep at bay They keep coming back day after day Worm their way into my mind Drag the sadness back, time after time Look out! the prophets cry, the world is ending I recall when I thought that they were wrong But now take a look at how things are trending Looks more like a question of how long Some thoughts are hard to keep at bay They keep coming back day after day Worm their way into my mind Drag the sadness back, time after time Look for the sun to break on through the clouds Look out for those little acts of kindness Hope springs eternal, maybe we can turn aside That flood of avarice and blindness Some thoughts are hard to keep at bay They keep coming back day after day Worm their way into my mind Drag the sadness back, time after time Look to my lover to bring me solace To offer me a place to hide She lays a trail of crumbs for me to follow Find the way back to my better side Some thoughts are hard to keep at bay They keep coming back day after day Worm their way into my mind Drag the sadness back, time after time Time after time after time

Hi Peter. This one is outside the box lyric wise
and that's a good thing.
"Look for the sun to break on through the clouds
Look out for those little acts of kindness"
Very well crafted.
Congrats to all involved.

Hello Peter,
Very nice lyrics, but that is one of your strong things!
A very nice song, with a good band performance. I like that solo till the end.
A bit of hard rock entwined in a 'romantic' song with acoustic guitars.
The chorusses were strong, and with a nice bg vocal.
Yep, that makes a good song fantastic!
Hans

Nice collaboration. Well written song. Vocals are easy going yet the message is so heavy - nice contrast. Great electric guitar playing as always. Good one.

Excellent lyrics, Leon! Nice production, love the bit at 3:18 where the band mostly drops out and the vocal harmony is added. Nice solo and outro solo, Peter. Just the right amount of fuzz for me

Hi Peter,
An easy song to listen to and reflect. The lyrics you wrote invoke such imagery. Sadness and then hope...
Your vocals also set the mood and were well done. And finally, the solo at the end sounded great. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen.

Peter & Leon. Soft and sad tune. Good set of lyrics. This is pretty clever: "She lays a trail of crumbs for me to follow Find the way back to my better side" Super guitar parts. Clear mix, listens easy. Fun photo  Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Lovely stuff,
Nice guitar tone too.

Good vocal delivery on this. I dig the harmony too.
Guitar, as I expect would be, is superbly performed and crafted. Especially the ending part!
Strong chorus.
