Liner Notes

Joe: @guatecoop again shared a beautiful instrumental, which came with some beautiful liner notes and the story behind the title (which I always keep as inspiration.) I then asked him some questions, and wrote a story inspired by his answers, and his life story as I know it. I hope you like it Robert! I had fun with the approach. :) One of the hardest parts of recording this song was keeping my dog Keira from making noise while I was recording. XD Thanks for listening!

Lyrics

I sip my coffee as I stare at the wall Lake mist town, and the red of the Fall

It's hard to be, but I’m holding the door My heart, I won't lock it, now I´m playing some more Pushing ahead with love

When sister calls “Was it waffles this time?” Cold night, locked in as the Winter arrives

You had your words, and the mind of a poet Oh us kids were first walking, now we rocking you know it

I heard the birds chirp, out casting a line Memories flooding, as I´m reeling through time

You found your love, it was falling for two

As your children start talking, end up thinking of you, yeah as we start talking we´ll be thinking of you yeah it’s true, but we’re pushing ahead for you

I´ve gone around the world And I found my girl

Yeah I found a love so true And it’s all thanks to you

And I´ll still go so far And I'm taking these memories of you

The rolls are cinnamon, oh life what it brings I'm playing this drum like the thaw of the Spring

Oh what a day, there’s a knock at my door With a brother come knocking We´ll we playing some more Well…

I think about it, yeah I´ve been thinking so long now I´m thinking of our talking Now I´m thinking so well

I´ve been around the world Now I´ll take my girl

Yeah we found a love so true And it’s all thanks to you

And we´ll still go so far And we’re taking our memories of you

You´re loved around the world with your words like pearls

Yeah you lived a life so true And we're so proud of you

And you´ll still go so far As we carry these memories of you

We´ll push ahead With our love for you

Such a beautiful instrumental and so wonderful that a life story was woven in so well. This definitely feels like something I could hear on the radio. Super collab!

You do really well with these. This is one of Robs that i had not heard. A real solid base to kick this lyric out with/ The ability to fit a vocal around this is very impressive, its great music but you have the skill to follow it down different paths

Man I love this!!! Brings back a vibe and a memory of some of those classic 70’s pop anthems. The music was great, and the vocals matched up perfectly! Not just with the song, but the production. I had the feeling of riding in our 72 Nova with the 8-track blasting this out of our Jensen Mind-Blowers……. just perfect!!! 👍🏻

Great lyric and love all the movement in the chord progression. It feels so lithe. Gorgeous vocals, I just wish they were a bit louder in the mix. Feels like a classic
