Guitar and Pen Friday 5

An old college buddy reminded me of this song I wrote in my old band, Beggar's Theater. He said it was his favorite song of our whole set list. So I thought I would post it. This one actually has guitar parts, harmony, the whole shebang...but I only have cassette tapes of it. The Gin Blossoms had just released New Miserable Experience and I keyed off on that. There were a lot of messed up people in Tempe Az back then. It is a bleak little ditty circa 1991...I had a Les Paul back then...sniff.

Comes A Day

There comes a day, when every thing crumbles
There comes a day, you can't help but fall
Everything looks beautiful to you
As you watch my world go down, down , down, down

I run away, only to stumble
Too proud to say, there's no place like home
Everything looks beautiful to you
As you watch my world go down, down , down, down

I don't need you to tell me that tomorrow everything will be fine
I don't need you to tell my that tomorrow my sun will shine
Everything looks beautiful to you
As you watch my world go down, down , down, down
Down, down, down, down
There comes a day, when every thing crumbles

Hi Lionel,
This is beautiful!
I'm just passing by to say bye-bye for the time being, as I fly to Athens tomorrow and have a three-week holiday.

Will see you when I come back at the end of August!
Enjoy the rest of the summer

Hi Lionel,
That song hits close to home! A lot of people can also relate to it. Any chance of re-recording it?

Yes, I was thinking about giving a go this weekend. If I do, I'll either link it or send you an MP3. Motivation!!!
Thanks Metalchick!!
