Empty Streets

Empty Streets

Whose streets are empty
Whose garden overgrown
Windows uncurtained
Like you: left all alone

If youre brought up on lies and a promise of dust
When the ship has sailed out youll be left there to rust
And youll only do that because thats what you must

Chorus

If you bring with you grey storms and strikes from a cloud
You can never be silent but cant tell youre loud
Maybe stand in and stand out from the crowd

Chorus

When telling your tales you invented a myth
For the innocent minds to be conjured with
Akin to you seeping the blood from the kith

chorus

When the plot has been lost can it ever be found
We know making a noise does not make you sound
When the voices are gone there is no-one around

Chorus

This has got to be the best of your music videos... That slide dulcimer is freaking hypnotic!

[MrRandomWritings]

[MayfieldRandyj]

I like that effect. Now does it work with your audio. lol

[MrRandomWritings]

I need to work on that audio stuff - guess it's fairly important for music videos

Thank Ang - hope you are well over there

[MrRandomWritings]

Hey Billy - thanks for that - good to see you around again

Hi Caylyn. Losing the plot gets easier as we get older I think - one of the benfits you might say!

More songs on the way if Les can tolerate me practising for hours on end! xx

[GreatGig1]

Very cool and unique sound with the slide on the dulcimer! Bravo!

Uh oh...I think I've lost the plot and I hope to find it again somewhere! :-) Your lyrics are always so poetic! I hope to one day be able to write something poetic...or better yet...I'll leave it to the poets...:-) xx

Well I still call it a fretless dulcimer regardless of what the Cigar Box experts call them. First time I have really played slide in public. I have tried it with my guitars in the past and it was always a dismal failure because I didn't understand the different tunings. With these instrumenst anything you play is a chord so it's hard to screw up!
