Cordoba FCWE - Nylon string used to create a faux Gibson ES-175 jazz sound using a Helix amp model.
Song based on Matthew 11:28-30. Originally written 2009, but held off on recording a demo of it until 2024. The key spark happened to be a creating a patch that allowed a nylon string guitar to serve as a jazz box.
1. The river is dark, the waters deep
Who knows how many miles, before we sleep?
Love can cut and love can heal
You can give or you can steal
Holding onto yesteryears bitterness
Instead of letting go and moving on
Fighting tooth and nail to hold onto to
Whats already gone or rusted away
Come to me,
all you who are weary and burdened
I will give you rest
you will find peace for your souls
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light Matt 11:28-30
2. Bitterness doesnt find any cool relieve
Driven by revenge and disbelief
That love could ever treat you so harshly
That you dont hold promise of a better day
Looking for a place of quiet refuge (Psalm 119:114)
Where I troubled soul can find some peace (Psalm 62:1)
Feeling life haunted and hunted down
When love left here, and moved to different town
3. Dark eyes know sorrow, theres little more to add
Turn from that Life, not a second look
I know all about love turned bad
Because I took that course, and wrote that book
