Liner Notes

#old #mandolin# #folk
Well, another weird one for me. In no way do I claim to be able to play the mandolin, but it is a great sounding instrument. This is one which I inherited from a distant relative who died during the First World War, so it's pretty old and very very difficult to tune. Still, just about managed something..

Lyrics

Beneath a twilit sky,

The mandolin sings,
Punching through the air
8 tight-wound strings


A melody on the evening breeze,

Through rustling leaves and swaying trees.
Telling tales of lives lost
Every strum a story holds

Of ancient times, centuries past
The music lingers on
Flourishing in history
Waiting for its time again

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

Oh, new toys! That sounds really nice, how are you mic-ing it? Cute little song - I had a mandolin but I gifted it on as it was impossible to keep it tune! j$

Sounds pretty good for such an old instrument! It's cool that it's been passed down to you, I love old stuff with a history to it like that.
