Oh my lord wont you look, and see if you can find me.
I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea and I been crying out.

I live my life as I saw fit consequences are apon me.
Oh my god been calling out please put my sins behind

I beg you please don't hide your face, coz I burnt all of my bridges.
I feel a weight coming down on me for I suffer for my decisions

my guilt may plea may be too late, to call apon your mercy.
I wash my hands in a flowing spring, as I been feeling so dirty

Bridge

The sinful man that I am, I don't deserve your sanctuary.
Now I've lost my integrity, My heart feels that its empty.

Please help me lord to turn around and always count my blessing.
I cry out now from deep inside please know that I'm repenting

Bob,
nice one but the bass is BOOOOMING and could be tamed by EQ or compression.
Perhaps you should offer this to Nick cave - it's his sort of darkness.
The violin sounds great - very Bad Seeds.
Nice structure around the instrumentation.

Cool tone Bob. Super vocal and lyric. Emotional tune. Well done. Loved the violin

Bob
A really powerful composition. An excellent feel and vocal - I like the overall sound (agree with Ray that it's a bit bass heavy - but sounds really good through my headphones).
Very impressive.

Peter

Hi Bob,

Powerful poignancy! You captured the musical moment perfectly as you described it in your narrative. Love the strong influence of the drums. This quite different from you usual posts. But also equally compelling to listen to. Great work!

Alan

Hi Ray. Thanks for your comment. Must be my ears I cant pick the BOOOOMING bass. Rob

Really well done all the way around! I really like how the style and tone of the piece perfectly fit the message that the lyrics carry. And the selection of the BIAB components all fit so nicely together.

As for the dark nature of the songs message, I guess now you’ll have to write a positive, upbeat song of redemption! Thanks for sharing your creative work!

Great song Bob,

strong vocals and nice arrangement, fiddle sounds awesome

(reminds me of Blood On The Tracks)

enjoyed the listen,

Kenny

I like the darkness to this song.

The bass is really in need of a low roll off.

Brighten the drums while you're at it.

I like the song.

Great vibe......very emotional!! That fiddle is EXACTLY what is needed for this song....perfect. Love the drums too. This is such a cool song, and so well produced and mixed! Vocals shine as usual! Maybe my new fave of yours Rob!! Take care. Greg
