Don't Look Down (original song)

This one is for Abby!

I came up with this tune last week whilst playing around with nick drake tunings (GGDGBD ie. black eyed dog), but the song and lyrics have acquired new meaning to me since seeing Abby's channel (aka StsAndSailors).

Check out her courageous and inspiring videos!

Played on my newly acquired old Martin D35!!

hey man, i see you also a nick drake and Townes van zandt fan, a good cover to do is "a song for"(my favorite Townes song), also some Leonard Cohen stuff.

I also read somewhere you live in n.z.

i live near Auckland and was wondering if you are doing any concerts there anytime soon?

all the best

This is probably the most wonderful music I've heard in a long long time. I've listened to your other songs too. It's so calm and beautiful... Sad, happy, and melancholic at the same time. You, Joe, are a true artist. :-) Can I buy your music somewhere?

[joeburton77]

all the best
