I know I'd told myself I was having a YT break but this song has been slowly writing itself and willing me to post it up.

It's a tad throwaway but I sometimes like that in music - it's not good to take yourself too seriously. I may add to it at a later date..

This goes out to all those lovely people who subscribed to my channel and, in their comments, remarked that my vocals should be pushed up (*cough*, bobsaguitarist..) Hope I didn't disappoint

The Ballad of The Existentialist

There's a world outside that window
Would you step into the sun?
Chasing shadows can't be in you
When the battle has been won

Try so hard to verbalise it
Understand it for yourself
Just find your feet and stand beside me
Don't put yourself back on the shelf

Just know that I'll be by my side, you..
The world is sinking deep inside..

Paint a picture, tell a story
Leave a trace behind to see
In years to come you'll call me boring
In your reflection you'll see me

Just know that I'll be by your side, you..
The world is sinking deep inside..

Very nice! I believe that I've commented on this video, on this song before. But then, I always forget why I have favorited it, why is it in my favorites? So I watch it again and remember, you.

"Just know that I'll be by my side, you..."

Sweet! Very nice!

Peace,

Awwa

My comment is in response to THEWORSEBADLUCK who was totally out of order to be-little Kris and his music !

[zzzzzzzzap]

He's not worth your time, anthonydodge. He's slipped back into the shadows and decided that sending me death-threats via YT email is more his styley. It's amusing watching him dig a bigger hole for himself. Peace

p.s. i dislike how everyone compares this to blackbird....ya, you got the G ,Am fingerstyle climb similarity.,just like another 12hundred songs, "you ripped off extreme, more than words," lol, next, they'll be criticizing how you used the C chord in multiple songs. there are only 12 notes. wtf? plus ive heard songs with words like "the", and "you", before many times, the masses expected more. you haters can go reinvent the wheel and drive off a cliff. GREAT SONG.

Seeing 'existentialist' in the title made me curious & ultimately what brought me to listen to this song, however I was taken aback while listening. So much more than anything I was anticipating - amazing.

theworsebadluck, *your* nation?

So as well as being intellectually anorexic, you're delusional? That is like, "so" awsome.

[wintersnot]

For some reason I don't want to buy the album, cause this is Gold!

Don't mess with the originals, mate, they're the finish paintings that shouldn't be messed with.

I'll buy it anyway..;-) (if I come across it here in Canada)

Love coming back to your songs!
