Back On Board

Liner Notes

Singing and playing at the same time! Did this in one take, I'm finally starting to get good enough at guitar where I can actually accompany myself. Also finding a better key to sing in for my voice. Hard to sing and play at the same time, especially with trying to do it in tune.

Rough sketch, just pointed my mic at myself and recorded after I finished writing.

Lyrics

Verse1

Back here again, thought I
found my way out
Guess I was wrong, so I’m
Writing this song

That’s ok
I know my way
I’ve spent a lot of time here
Got nothing to fear

Chorus

I’m back on
Board
Nothing in scope
Hang onto hope

I’m back on
Board
I’m all alone
Feels like home

You closed the
Door
Now it’s time
To say goodbye

I’m back on
Board
I can’t stay
Guess I’ll be on my way

Verse2

We can’t be friends
Yes it’s the end
Good intentions
Unrealistic

Gave you space
Get me out of this place
There’s no time
Draw the line

I really enjoy acoustic one-takes of newly written songs. I think they are kind of magical. It is hard to strum like that and sing vocals over it - well done. I think it sounds great! Yep there is nothing to fear - write away - we love it! Great song.
