Who Will Sing My Song Feat. Jake (Patreon)

Me and my friend @JakeM_Wolf wrote this one together ^^. He's also the other voice on the track if you didn't guess.

This is a song about the seeming creative futility of being a cover song guitar guy.

Lyrics:

Who will sing my song (CAPO 1)

G C G

The minutes and the hours feel like ages

G C D

seconds in the hall we don’t get back

G  C G Em D/F#

evening spending time singing impressions

G D C

Who will spread my voice when I’m in black?

Chorus:

Em  D/F#

When all of it’s gone

Em C D

When no player’s left that knows the tune

Em D/F#

Who will sing my song?

Em C

Collecting the thoughts and places, fall apart

C D/F# G

fall back on me, my fellow man

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve heard this number

When will mine be called? Is it the same?

Searching every dial for vindication, but no comfort

In 15 years the young won’t know my name

Chorus

Seeing all of the connections i’ve been making

if it was a different time, or different place

On a sunny day, the rain comes from the inside, no holding

and you still smile when you see my face

Chorus

D C

Listening out (listening out), I can hear (I can hear)

Em D/F#   C

echoes of sadness, joy, confusion, every lost emotion

D C

Gather them, pack them between

Em D/F#

rhyming deliverance, contrivance, no mercy

C

who will sing my song?

G C Em D/F#

Who will sing my song? (Repeat)
