Shadowlands

A good friend of mine brought me these lyrics and chords and we laid it down, The first solo is his, I performed everything else.
We're gonna ride this bus 'til the wheels come off
And we run aground. Set our course into the sun
And we'll burn it down. We'll push it through 'til the motor
stalls and the needle falls. Hang onto this barge
cause we're supercharged... we're running hard.
chorus
We'll make our way along the endless rim
And find the road to lead us home again.
Across the span, we'll make our stand.
In a foreign land...
We're hitting overdrive and we're still alive
Shoulder to the fight. Sirens wail off the beaten trail...
in the pale of night. Ride the storm until the morn,
let the titans come. 'Cause we won't stop till the
bottom drops, and the day is won...
chorus
We'll make our way along the endless rim
and find the road that takes us home again.
Across the span, we'll take our stand.
In the shadowlands...

Cool rocker. Very enjoyable. I think the music is stronger than the lyric, but it's all good.
You might consider adding more guitar in the chorus. It may be sparser there for contrast, but it feels like a place where the music should swell to my ear.
Nice!

Little bit of country "feel" to it along with a little bit of rock. There is a lot to like in this. Very listenable in my opinion.

StoneFlowers, thanks a bunch. That Angels song has beguiled me since I wrote it. I’m still chasing the perfect vocal on that one0

@pete692 nice to meet you. Very cool song. Got me dancin' around my living room, woo-hoo! Subbed to your YT and smashed that like button! To be able to play all those instruments is dumbfounding to me; I can barely play the guitar. 🤣
Can't wait to hear more of what you got,

Thank you so much. I have over 40 originals on my YT. I started writing and as a form of grief therapy after my son died from a brain tumor in 2020. The early songs are quite rough, but I have a soft spot for each of them. Also, before 2020 I never attempted to sing before, so you’re kind hearing me finding my voice as I go

@pete692 you and me both, trying to find our voice! I have a rather low voice for a lady and my slender body does NOT match my voice. Try that one on! 🤣
And so sorry to hear about your son. That's really a hard one. My deepest condolences, Pete.
