“It Ain’t With Me”
Words & Music by Thomas Tognaci
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14642424
The lights are on, is there no one home?
I see a flickering light
Where have you gone? Am I on my own
with you high as a kite?
You’re always somewhere else, my darling
Somewhere lost in the stars
Maybe lost between our worlds
but wherever you are ….
it ain’t with me
The social scene with all its pretense
has always been something more you
The wolves convene and you jump the fence
to get a better view
You’re always there to spar, my darling
It’s never us, or we
It’s always you against the world
And, while you always agree ….
it ain’t with me
A once upon a long time ago
I fell for love and a face
We came undone in the undertow
and washed up in this place
You’re always to and fro, my darling
The changing tides, you say
You may come and go as you please
but if you come to stay
it ain’t with me

The guitar sounds amazing. The track sounds incredible. The mix is pleasant, the harmonica is sweet. Your voice is a treasure. Great track. I like the touches of tambourine, and the arrangement is simple and beautiful. keep rocking.

This is wonderful Tom! Really delicate and moving. Lovely lyric.
I like how "it ain't with me" changes context each time.
The pared back sound works really well. It feels like there's nothing superfluous, nor anything missing.
The choice of using harmonica is inspired. I love how gently that comes in too.
It's a great song.

Great track Tom. That guitar picking is something I wish I could do. Terrific vocal and the harmonica works so well. As RDM says, a great lyric. Looking forward to hearing your next one.😀

Hi @IronKnee
I commented elsewhere but this is a really great track and it was a pleasure to revisit.
A great hook and as @RainyDayMan points out, the movement and developing meaning over the song is really clever.
