A straight acoustic song created by my heart without letting my thoughts get in the way. This song came to be so naturally, starting with a melody bouncing in my head, a hour recording the guitar I envisioned to back the melody, then another few minu

Inspired by artists like Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and Beck ... I started fiddling around with a microphone, acoustic guitar, and discovered how much I enjoy making personal music that reveals my deepest emotions. Creating music has become a therapeutic device for me as I capture a mood on my guitar and then start recording as I sing whatever comes to mind, allowing the melody and words to be "of the moment" and completely spontaneous. A writer by profession, I love the freedom of not putting the lyrics on paper and simply allowing my heart to talk and say whatever it feels without censoring. And the end result is the songs I've created and now look back on to discover more about myself based on what I say through improvisational singing.

Story behind the song
I had a melody that I liked inside my head, and then using that as a foundation created an acoustic stream for words to float on as they poured out of my mouth without thinking what I was singing about.
Lyrics
Hello I'm sorry, baby I've been away for awhile Can you forgive me lover I want to make you smile Hello I'm lonely, honey another deep black night Don't mean to scare you darling It's okay, I'm alright You gave one hundred percent and I take the fall. Hello I'm sorry, baby Hope it's alright You know I get so frightened and you get so uptight Hello I'm leaving, dear cause you so much pain Can't stick around now, darling want to wash it all away You gave one hundred percent and I take the fall. And I take the fall...
