Here is this week's song: The Lost Years https://52tracksblog.com/2016/06/09/track-23-the-lost-years/All RTs except an electric rhythm guitar and electric lead guitar. THE LOST YEARS I didn’t wander out in the desert Wasn’t locked in a padded room Didn’t find myself in the gutter Howling at the moon But seven years came and went With nothing much to show At the time I couldn’t see Now I’ve come to know Refrain: All and all Those were the lost years All and all Those were the lost years I can see I lost perspective Trying to find the one best way Nothing ever measured up I had no more dreams in play I dodged the toughest questions Life was a roundabout And when the dust had settled down Fear was clutching doubt Refrain And I can’t get ‘em back No, I can’t get ‘em back So I guess I’ll just say “Adios” And what about the future? Well, I haven’t been advised So I take it day by day With a lot more compromise I’m living with the knowledge That it’s easy to backslide And slip across that shadow line Without breaking stride Refrain Copyright 2016 Fred Grittner All Rights Reserved

Really nice one Fred!! One of my faves by you. The music is great-works perfectly with the theme of cautious optimism. Really enjoyed this one, and I'm glad you emerged from the other side. Life can be very tricky. Take care. Greg

"I’m living with the knowledge
That it’s easy to backslide
And slip across that shadow line
Without breaking stride"
Powerful writing, Fred.
Excellent arrangement and mix. Just what this needs. I like an introspective song that is presented in a "on the bright side" package (music). Most writers never do that.
This works on every level. An important message, well told.

Thanks, Floyd. Yes, sometimes I like to go against the grain of the lyrics with contrasting music. Fred
