The Word
Everybody loves this word...sometimes
Heard a word in the wind today
We all listened for it
listened close but it blew away
Maybe you heard it
A word that good people say
When they know they’re right
Good words on the tongues
But then they get it all wrong
But I’m not here to talk bout love
That’s not the word I’m thinking about
Not why I gotta downplay
What some good people say
Picked up again this AM
Howling at the door
Tried to block my ears away
Save myself from anymore
It’s something that good people say
Believing for too long
The good words on their tongues
But then they get it all wrong
But I’m not here to talk bout hate
That’s not the word I’m thinking about
Not why I gotta downplay
What some good people say
Don’t you want to tell me what you know is right
Good people want to tell me all day
Loud talk and a hard persuade
Nobody’s got full view
Word is that the word is truth
Speak the truth someone else calls it lying
They got their truth you got wasted time
What’s true is you gotta downplay
What some good people say
Keep your truth hold it deep inside
When everybody else knows they’re right
Truth is nobody’s got full view
On what the word means to you

Truth is, I liked this very much, some subtle messages throughout the piece, well crafted to blend well.
Like me, being told how devilishly handsome I am, you're probably getting fed up with me saying what a great voice and brilliant guitar style you have, let both of us take it as a given.
I hope you have a large back catalogue of songs you're going to share with us, because if they are of the standard as your recent submissions, we have something to look forward to.
Thanks for that, brilliant.

You're too kind my friend. And...flattery will get you everywhere. Truth is, encouraging words are what we as artists all need. And you're the man when it comes to that. Yeah I'll be sharing more in the future...thanks again

Being a Bean Town brother a two word comment is in order.
Wicked Awesome! Lol
Loved your lyrics and the truth of it. Also not able us how you kept just the right amount of tension in the verses to keep me wondering what word you were speaking of.
That sets the lyrics up for the big reveal.
Always enjoy the vocals and real music you create.0 -
Thanks my friend

I really like the lyrics, a very wise portrait of what we let ourselves be.
I like a lot the melody on this part .
"But I’m not here to talk about love...
Your way of expressing vocals is really special! @StoneFlowers

I love the groove you have going in the guitar part, it’s really toe tapping. This one had a very bluesy / roots rock type of sound, I can heard it having that sort of arrangement if a band got a hold of it.
The lyrics are definitely the star of the show though, very much fits the music and really gets you thinking. It’s another great song from you, looking forward to the next one 🙂0 -
Thanks ya'll
