Yup and so it goes. Seems ingratitude but oft it's where they are coming from. Heard this often from people. Well captured in song

I love serendipity! This is such a great folk song. It sounds so classic. Really solid lyrics I love the melody and the chords feel so deep. I love the 12 string. Sounds magical and dark and shimmery. 🧡🧡🧡

Great perspective and wonderful reflective insight in the song and your vocals and chord progression delivers the sentiment well. It addresses the savior complex fallacies well where we expect gratitude or appreciation for the brief stints of volunteer work we do to serve others, when in reality, when we serve others in need we are often one of many who step in for a brief moment and no matter what we do in that moment it doesn’t alter the landscape of life someone else faces and can subsequently be met with resistance or disdain - understanding that and accepting the limits of our contributions can help us serve with humility and grace without expectations of gratitude from others - and hopefully help us build a more longstanding trusting relationship where respect is earned and people are valued. It makes me cringe a bit when I see individuals or groups do a boat load for others over the holidays when during the rest of the year they walk quickly past the people they given themselves pats on the backs for serving at Christmas. Admittedly I have been guilty of that hat in the past but hopefully have learned more humility and empathy over the years.

This is a really solid folk song. Very classic sound with the smart chords and melody choices. Interesting story too. There are all types of people out there. We can make excuses for behavior. I mean we all do, but I've found that being grateful no matter what the situation is a better path. I'm still working on gratitude at all times, but it is the goal.
