Echoes Calling Out

V1 storm just leaving town new life coming out

In the hollow ground tall trees gather round

CH Can you forgive or is it too deep down / Never feeling your touch

{1st time} carry resentment …. for the rest of your days

[2nd time] To wear resentment for the rest of your days

Isn’t that too much

V2 gentle People come and gentle breezes blow

Their Echoes calling out to help ‘em as they go

BR1 [half length] We only have one life don’t throw it away

Take it with both hands

Br2 Optimism never goes away / We’ll do it better next time

If it’s just a pastime you should think again

Change of heart is no crime

v3 you can’t slow it down you can’t make a swap

you can’t jump across you can’t make it stop

CH Can you forgive ….

Vs 4 give it all away never let it stay

run until the end this body you were lent

Composition Notes

Mood of sadness and resentment about bearing grudges generally and the difficulty of forgiving and being forgiven.

Counter melodies on synth mimicking an oboe
