Bing Futch- You rock!! I love this song so much.. I keep going back to it over and over again. I could listen to your voice into infinity!! Fantastic-

Well done man. My favorite verse...

"a paper boat, a plastic cup

let's pretend it's crystal and fill it halfway up

we'll drink to the bad times

and sail on"

And the "everything is an illusion..." I've wielded that belief shield myself when life gets all together too real. As comforting as it was, I eventually laid it down.

Thanks for sketching some of the details of evolving love... Aloha

I keep listening to "How it Ends", again, it really speaks to my life and my soul. I tried to find the lyrics on Google but the "how it ends" there is a beautiful old slavery song. Do you have the lyrics anywhere? I would love to have them. Just beautiful/

[dread66mon]

I'm glad you enjoy it! There is a link in the video info that goes to the lyrics for "How It Ends."

[Artishi]

What a voice..

[dread66mon]

Thanks for watching. : )

[graphisnoblis]

Really nice song...musically and lyrically.

BTW, I enjoy your youtube videos so much. They are so helpful...especially the ones where you shoot directly overhead. It makes it so much easier to see what you're doing.

[dread66mon]

Thank you!  And glad you enjoy the videos!

[Saechem]

Awesome song..."Do the dance, take a chance"

Love sometimes doesn't have that happy ending especially if family is involved. Looking forward to hearing more originals!

[dread66mon]

Thank you! There will be some more popping up this week. : )

[ekistl]

Beautiful. Very beautiful.

[dread66mon]

Mahalo, thank you!

Wow, just beautiful song Bing. You write such inspirational stuff with great chord progressions. I just hope one day I have the ability to write lyrics.

[dread66mon]

Thanks, Josh! You're writing lyrics now, aren't you? I'll tell you a little secret about the process: write like you talk and don't be overly concerned with rhyming. Near-rhymes will work just as well. More important than rhyming is *phrasing* or how the rhythm of your words work together. With the music you write, I'll bet your full songs with words will be pretty amazing!

[brotherbleu]

Thanks, I appreciate the tips and I can only hope there amazing. Later Uncle!

Bing - That is a beautiful love song. Man! There is always a choice, but don't ya wish love was easy? I'd really like to read the lyrics if you could post them. Thanks.

[dread66mon]

Thanks, Marty! Yeah if love was easy, it'd be boring too. : ) YouTube won't allow me to post a URL here (I've tried) - so I'll post it in the video info, where you can find the lyrics.
