Hi.
Just a bit of a rave about the winter time and getting old.
( Winter just finished here )
Hope you enjoy it. Any comments welcome. Cheers.

Misty Windows

Misty windows cloud my mind Fire blazin in the winter time
Birds peckin anything that they can find Bones achin I'm half blind
But I'm still here so I don't mind

Got a funeral in the rain Down a long and leafy lane
Fine old fellow he's free from pain Sweet memories flood my brain
Gone and won't be back again

Misty windows cloud my mind Fire blazin in the winter time
Birds peckin anything that they can find Bones are achin I'm half blind
But I'm still here so I don't mind

Frosty morning snow down south Spreads like gossip by word of mouth
My head leaks in the pouring rain Words are spilling down the drain

Fallen angels naked trees Lost leaves searchin in the breeze
mindfulness with peace and ease Wanderin freely where I please
In love with lifes sweet symphony

Misty windows cloud my mind Fire blazin in the winter time
Birds peckin anything that they can find Bones are achin I'm half blind
But I'm still here so I don't mind

Winter moves all damp and grey gets too cold then goes astray
Seasons changing every day Think that I'll stay and play
Till summer blows the frost away

Misty windows cloud my mind Fire blazin in the winter time
Birds peckin anything that they can find Bones are achin I'm half blind
But I'm still here so I don't mind I'm still here and I don't mind

Nicely done. It's warmed up here in Sydney - how's NZ?
Anyway - enjoyed the lyrics and delivery.

Hi Rich,

Winter is just considering starting here so my thermals are being washed ready LOL
Good to hear from you again with your take on an old man's lament LOL.
Gave me a laugh,

Alyn

Richard, loved the poetic lyrics. It was an enjoyable listen but I thought the guitar real track was stretched too slow. if you found another suitable guitar track that was near the bpm it would sound better. Stay warm, Tom

Lyrics paint a nice picture, I can relate well to the feeling of "misty windows in my mind" Enjoyed this.

Always enjoy your lyrics, Richard.

It's end of summer here - odd to think y'all are coming out of winter...

Hi Rich,

Is this your way of preparing us for the winter (that's still to come here) crazy
Original lyrics as always, funny song!

Hi Peter. Thanks for the listen and comment.
We are into spring pretty much now.
I think Sydney weather takes about 3-4 days to cross the Tasman then we get it.
So keep the good weather coming! Cheers.

Hi Alyn. I seem to be into songs about winter old age and death these days. Ah well.
Thanks for your cheery note. Cheers.

Hi Tom. Agree about the guitar tracks speed.
I kind of like the draggy stoned effect but will check for another track. Cheers.

Hi Floyd. Written a couple of months ago.
Yes spring is springing and blooms are blooming here.
Still lighting the fire occasionally. Great time of year. Cheers.

Hi RnAM. I enjoy the fact that we are scattered all over the globe.
Makes me feel comfortable somehow.
Had a warm and cosy winter and hope you do too.
Cheers.

I had trouble drawing a bead on this. Several people mentioned they thought it was funny.

I thought it was rather somber, but the line But I'm still here so I don't mind didn't seem to fit the chorus. And Think that I'll stay and play had me scratching my head.

So... Good write, but I'm too simple-minded to have both happy and sad coexist in the same song!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi David. Thanks for the listen and very much for your observations.
The idea of the song is to compare winter with old age.
The winter of ones years.
Although winter may be cold and wet it is still possible to enjoy it and anticipate summer ahead.
Also I realised at the funeral of a friend that even with it's aches and pains life is pretty good.
Hope this helps. Sorry it's not explained better in the lyrics. Cheers.

Thanks, and no apology necessary!

Just wanted to give some feedback from the "pea-sized brain" listener group. wink
