Rabbit Proof Hole
Bonjour from Canada . . . here's something new from my little song studio. I've been experimenting recently with shorter song formats here, where I actually get a Bridge and a Solo section into the idea, and still keep it under 3.5 minutes, that's always been a challenge for me. This one, no doubt inspired by my long, ugly work commute . . . I was thinking I must have reached about 1 billion traffics lights in my lifetime . . .

RABBIT PROOF HOLE
Too much noise
Why won’t the world just relax
Lost inside the traffic
On the wrong side of the tracks
A bridge too far to burn . . . get in line and wait your turn
Might go crazy if it doesn’t start to roll
Just let me step inside my rabbit proof hole
These are the joys
When the time clock rules your life
Beholding to the money for the kids and the wife
Smorgasbord of mortgages . . . and payments to the brokerage
Might go crazy if I didn’t have some soul
Just let me step inside my rabbit proof hole
Rabbit proof hole . . . Rabbit proof hole
Just let me step inside my rabbit proof hole
Victim of circumstance beyond my control
BRIDGE
Then my little daughter laughs out loud . . . she gets my joke
My wife says she loves me . . . even if we all go broke
Just let me step inside my rabbit proof hole
Rabbit proof hole . . . Rabbit proof hole
Just let me step inside my rabbit proof hole
Victim of circumstance beyond my control
-SOLO-
Just let me step inside my rabbit proof hole
Rabbit proof hole . . . Rabbit proof hole
Just let me step inside my rabbit proof hole
Might go crazy if I didn’t have some soul

I've got to ask, what is a rabbit proof hole?
It doesn't matter if you don't care to explain, this is one of the best songs I have heard in a while. Given that the standard of live submissions lately is very high, that is saying something! The guitar work in the solo is mind-blowing, I keep playing it.
That is a very accomplished piece indeed, I'll let the musicians pick the bones out of it, I'll just say "encore."

@sidshovel . . . for me the "Rabbit Proof Hole" is a place of refuge and silence, escape from the noise of the city, and also the noise of the mind, where you go to seek clarity . . . probably not stated clearly in the lyric, but you only got 3 minutes these days it seems to explain it, in pop songs at least . . . if I had another minute, I could elaborate . . .
Thanks so much for a having some listens ! (Glad you mentioned my new favourite guitar solo)

Wow something completely unique and beautiful ...I can definately relate, the traffic in this once quiet summer resort area is now insane year round. Take me home to my rabbit proof hole.

Impressive composition that has nuances I enjoy. Did I hear a car horn added in the intro?
Also like the piano as it carries the lyrics along beautifully.
The topic is also something we must all endure so it fits into people's lives seamlessly.
Your voice reminds me of someone but not able to pin point who it is.0 -
I really enjoyed this one. The production is just right for the song. I like the lyrics and the vocal is strong. I might have been tempted to turn the lead guitar up a bit. Otherwise - great stuff.😀
