I was playing a theme on a drop D-tuned guitar and added the second part with the deep voice quite quickly. I was thinking prog rock, but ended up with a folk rock tune, I guess. Lots of baritone voice and baritone guitar in this piece.

Story behind the song
This song developed from some themes I was playing on a drop D-tuned guitar. The song melody seemed quite sad to me, so I wrote some quite depressing lyrics to it. Don't let them follow you around! :0)
Lyrics
I felt it lately, my heads been hanging down.
Some kind of depression, a hole in the ground.
Everyone tells me, that I should be glad,
But all of their talking just makes me so sad.
And it seems to be something that follows me around.
And it seems to be something that follows me around.
How can I break down, the wall that I see?
No one can help me, its just there for me.
If I had a hammer and knew its weak spot.
Id smash down the wall, but Im stuck in a rut.
And it seems to be something that follows me around.
And it seems to be something that follows me around.
Where is the way out? I need to get back.
Back to the good life, the friends that I had.
Caught in a maze, seems that I lost my drive.
All I got left, is my will to survive.
And its all that I have, but it keeps me alive.
And its all that I have, but it keeps me alive.
