about
My hiking feet were the inspiration for this song “Long Time Gone”. I recorded samples on my daily excursion and wrote the song around it. The wind helped me out with a perfectly placed kick drum sound, and I added a snare by throwing a rock into the gravel. It is a slow, moody, bluesy tune about regret and longing...with a headache.
lyrics
Please don't wake me, in the morning
I've got some sleeping, left to do
It's been a long night, and my head is screaming
and I'm so tired, of thinking bout you
I've been a long time gone, and I know I was wrong
But it's been a long time gone, and you're moving on
Please don't break me, I'm so broken
I've been living, right on the edge
It's been a hard road, and my wheels are spinning
But I'd do it all over again
I've been a long time gone, I know I was wrong
But it's been a long time gone, and you're moving on
