Never, never been this way before Look around the nation It goes from bad to worse Never, never been this way before Looking for salvation Looking for a better way Round and round and round and round we go Every generation Hoping for a better day Round and round and round and round we go I took the long road Shortcuts were not my thing Stopped at every town along the way Ended up here just the same Border guard said, what’s your name? I’m hungry I said, won’t you let me in? Please let me in Please let me in I’m hungry, won’t you let me in? Every iteration Becomes a little more obscure Every song a little less in tune Every obligation To work towards the greater good Is banished to the dark side of the moon The air here used to be so sweet Man, do you believe this heat? Some fool is telling me it’s been like this before I don’t know what it takes To apply the brakes Better stop before we add the final straw Please let me in Please let me in I’m hungry, won’t you let me in? Every fabrication Every lie knowingly told Moves us a little closer to the dark Every generation Has a chance to turn the tide A bonfire grows from just a little spark Please count me in Please count me in I’m ready, won’t you count me in? Please count me in Please count me in I’m ready, won’t you count me in? Looking for salvation Looking for a better way Round and round and round and round we go Every generation Hoping for a better day Round and round and round and round we go Around we go

Beautifully done. Great writing, singing, lyrics, production, the lot. The lyrics stand to prominence, though, for me ... and the lap steel at the end, with those high notes, kinda steals the show :-) Congratulations, though ... what a song.

Team,
Always a pleasure to hear your tunes. Down to earth, but very clever and tasteful lyrics. Solid vocals, composition and arrangement. Peter, nice lap steel work. A very undervalued instrument. Listens very well. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Appreciate the comments- the lap steel was a late inclusion - originally an acoustic solo.

A well thought out arrangement. Everything fits and the lap steel is the icing on the cake (not that it's merely decorative - it's the perfect vehicle to bring the song to its conclusion). I like it.

These excellent lyrics are framed by the perfect coice of real tracks. The acoustic sound was just right. Well sung and the outro was an inspired idea. The lap steel was great! I look forward to hearing more of that. I can relate to the theme. My grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandkids, and great grandson all view the world differently in some respects but also with somewhat the same hope. Enjoyed,Tom

Well done. A very complex structured tune with a very simple, clear message. Great production. The vocals are so clear. Good job. I can't tell the difference between your playing and the band, which is just how you want it, I would think.

Excellent tune Peter and Leon. Loved the way the tune started and the energy built towards the end. Lapsteel - nice touch. Boy are they fun to play. Can really get crazy. Super solo at the end.
Boy when Leon sang "Dark Side of the Moon" focused me on the lyrics..

Good write, well performed. Nice harmony. Enjoyed the listen. It's got a "classic" folk sound. Drum and slide at the end is very cool!  Nit: When the bass comes in, it initially sounds to me like it's playing a different song - just like you're lyric alludes to. Maybe it's just me.

Peter & Leon ...
What a cool song! Has a true retro feel ... yet would fit right in with a lot of the current playlists. This is really knicely constructed music. Lyric, live performance, RTs, melody and arrangement - all spot on. The lyric leaves a little to contemplate. Thanks for a sweet listen! Take care, gentlemen ...
Alan

We love the lyric. It can be viewed from so many different angles and still say so much. You both sang it really well...great harmony. The touch of harp here and there was nice. That RT is in our opinion the best in the harp catalog. Great tone. The acoustic guitars were excellent both in what they did and the tone. The overall build was very effective and we perceived a build in the intensity of the vocal also. I (Bud) want to play a fretless electric bass when I grow up And the outro...wow...outstanding. We have been lap steel fans since the early Jackson Browne days. Excellent! J&B
