Liner Notes

This isn't really what I had in mind, but this is what came out, so FAWM it and move on. Might be the germ of a post-FAWM song or it might go in the reject pile. Voice not in great shape tonight. #rough #folk #fingerpicking

Lyrics

The Tarot
©2025 - words and music by Sharon Stepler

Good afternoon
Do come in
So you’re here at the urging of a friend?
Your heart is right there
On your sleeve
That's OK - you don't have to believe

Hold this crystal
Good energy
Let me pour you some ginger tea
Take a deep breath
Let it go
Concebtrate on what you need to know

The Tarot holds a mirror to your mind
Reflecting what’s inside
The Tarot shows you what is true
The rest is up to you

I'll lay out
A three-card spread
Past, Present, and what lies ahead
I will read them one by one
May you have clarity when we’re done

The Three of Swords
Is Yesterday
I sense that in the past you were betrayed
So much pain
So many tears
It ’s the reason you are here

CH

The Hanged Man
Card for today
Means acceptance is the only way
The Chariot
Tomorrow's card
Time to move on athough it's hard
oh, oh, oh

From your expression
I can see
It isn't what you want but it's what you need
You want to stay
Want to believe
But that's a broken heart on your sleeve

CH 2x

I would put that into the rerecord-pile. The guitar take is great, but I hear your struggle in the vocals at certain parts. The vocal melody is good and the story is clear.

That guitar is soothing. You'd make a great siren or will o' the wisp.

Beautiful guitar playing, a sweet melody and a compelling story/meaning!

Lovely guitar and beautiful vocals that deliver such a supportive song inspired by the Tarot. Wonderfully approach and great song!
