Just an acoustic song.
vocals folk lyrics concept harmonica
Guitar, harmonica, vocals, and not much else. Folk, mainly.
Just me, mainly, playing guitar and harmonica and singing. Fairly folkish, and if you were naive, you might call it emo.

Story behind the song
This song is about a disconnect. You know how they say some artists were before their time? Well, this is the opposite. "No matter how they wanted me, or I wanted them, it was all doomed to die in the end,". I couldn't connect. Just listen to the song.
Lyrics
No matter how they wanted me, or I wanted them It was all doomed to die in the end The grain is in the basket and the chaff is in the wind It's all doomed to die in the end After my time, forty years behind I'm hopelessly after my time After my time roamin' soul of mine I'm hopelessly after my time I'm hopelessly after my time It matters nothing what they say, there's no doubt in my mind I'm hopelessly after my time Let no one be troubled, it's no fault but mine I'm hopelessly after my time After my time, centuries behind I'm hopelessly after my time After my time, naked, cold, and blind I'm hopelessly after my time I'm hopelessly after my time Everyone is worrying if they're where they should be They ask, "Am I all I can be?" I say it matters not to me, they can't imagine why They haven't thought to ask, "When am I?" After my time, a relic of a kind I'm hopelessly after my time No doubt in my mind I'm hopelessly after my time I'm hopelessly after my time Should I take it as a blessing? Should I take it as a joke? Our God is a curious folk If anyone would challenge me, you have been forewarned It's not when I should have been born After my time, perhaps it's not a crime I'm hopelessly after my time After my time, anachronistic rhyme I'm hopelessly after my time I'm hopelessly after my time
