Liner Notes

Definitely going for John Prine vibe here. Inspired by a really beautiful/sad post I just saw on TikTok #folk #acoustic #acousticonetake #lofi #singersongwriter #americana

Lyrics

I broke down and cried today
Packing up your things
It’ll be two years come April
Since you got your wings
Somehow the world kept spinning
But now there’s dust on the frames
But I’ll see you again

Cardboard box construction
Add it to my resume
Not to be insincere
Humor keeps the blues away
30 years together
Packed in piles of paper squares
I’ll unpack ‘em one day

Carolina is calling me
I need a change of scenery
Now all that our house holds
Is packed up distant memories
One last dummy check
And I open the freezer
One last quart of soup you made for me

One last meal together
One last bowl of soup
You made sure I was well fed
And ready for the move
Salty tears mix
With one last bite of food
One last bowl of soup

What a touching song, the last times we get to do something with a loved one, the comfort of soup, memories and leftovers you can’t store anymore.

Sounds great! Really nice lyrics and melody!

ooo this rather nice isn't it.

Love the way the acoustic is distorting slightly, and it all come together so nivcely as its own kittle package.

Thanks for sharing.
