Looking For My Lost Glove

by @paintonit

Liner Notes

This is a song about a friend gone too soon. #folk #sad

NOTE I remixed this on 02/14/25.

Lyrics

Cease to the stream
I am stuck in a dream
That I’m back
I’m your bed
Understood
What you meant
So well

Bend like the willow
Teardrops fall on a pillow
Reach a star
With your song
Voice is proud
You are strong
You left your shell


Looking for my lost glove

Left it out in the snow

Where oh where’d you go?
I showed my hand



Lapis lazuli

Iridescent marble eyes
Desert rose

In your hair

The willow’s gone
The world don’t care

Everywhere

Cease to the stream
I am lost in the dream
That I'm in
My lovers bed
That I'm in
My lovers head
Oh well


Looking for my lost glove

Left it out in the snow

Where oh where’d you go?
I showed my hand

Your song titles are really alluring. This one is no exception! So here I am having a mini-Billy festival at my desk. The picking and strumming combo panned wide is always a nice effect. Your lyrics are relatable each time and so well crafted they don't seem crafted, if you get me. That's a skill! Something of a Simon and Garfunkel meets 2025 vibe.

Oo this is gorgeous too! Love your melodies and another really lovely chorus with beautiful harmonies. Some really nice language too. Thanks @paintonit

This is such a tender song. Those verse ending moments are especially gut wrenching.

such a sweet, melancholy song. "Looking for my lost glove, left it out in the snow" is a haunting visual. I can feel the heartbreak in this one.

Such beautiful harmonies. And the song hooks me in immediately. Probably because your voice is so soothing! Love the harmonies at that Pillow part. Very sweet. I'm surrounded my snow right now and there are many lost gloves from my kids out there. Thanks for sharing this lovely song.
