Well oh well oh well, conveniently I have myself a long weekend...

What's the tempo?

91bpm I bet you can guess which key it’s in ;-)

Bumped the tempo up to 100, added a couple instruments and did some light re-arranging too. Nice groove!

Lyrics:

I see the water a-rising round you

Another flood I suppose

I know I'll sink like a stone, I'm bound to

It ain't the water that drowns you,

It's the weight of your clothes

--

I feel a breeze slipping through my fingers

Fly like a murder of crows

You're long gone, but your spirits lingers

There ain't no words when I listen,

Just the wind and it blows.

That's just the way that it goes....

Let go...

I was very tempted to layer in the "It goes" from this track into the build at the end:

WOW! Very cool!! I dig the arrangement, the instrumentation and the theme. I'd love to see others take what you've made and add to it. ghostoffuffle I am sure you are extremely busy these days, doing the lords work but if you have time and recording gear, I hear some background vocal opportunities.

Great work, Flac! I dig the lyrics and I always love hearing your voice. Thank you very much for doing this. It brings me a TON of joy. Onward!
