Song information
My wife and I have been very busy preparing for our daughter’s arrival this January, but I’ve managed to find enough time to finish off a new song. This is a 12-string heavy tune about living in the moment. Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy!

Lyrics
The time we have is short and there’s no guarantees 

Fleeting as the wave that rolls back to the sea 

This moment soon will be strange as a half remembered dream….


Can you feel it can you feel it can you feel it passing
our time
Is it slipping is it slipping is it slipping away

Hold fast to me or you’ll drift away
Hold fast to me or you’ll drift away
Drift away

How is it that you come now to your senses

And find yourself so far away from the shore 

A warning echoes faintly in the distance then is gone….

There's something delicate and vulnerable about this that's really endearing.

Throughly enjoyed the tenderness in the vocals and lyrics. The mix is reminiscent of some of the music of the 60s. Nicely done

@Daugrin it's actually a chanteur, but he (I) understands that such confusion is natural given the high register. Can always use all the production help I can get, I have no training and am essentially feeling my way in the dark.
And thanks for the bass kudos, it seems to be my favorite instrument these days

Wonderful,light and breezy sound. Absolutely love your vocals. The lyrics have just a touch of wistfulness, but still evoke a sense of joy.
Thanks for sharing!
