The Breeze Is The Only Thing That's Free
The Breeze Is The Only Thing That's Free, for you and me...a song about coming through hard times, together...with love. This is for my wife.
Acoustic based folk/rock
And you thought I had forgotten...
Thanks for stopping by my page. New music (finally!) as of January 16, 2006--"In The Circle" uploaded this morning.
More in the works--new recordings on the way!
Primarily acoustic singer/songwriter material here.
Guitar/vocals/bass/rhythm section/other instruments all done by Bill Chandler. Most of the recordings are done in my home studio.
Working on updating the site now.
Story behind the song
This song was begun in late 2001, finished in February, 2002.
I was reflecting on hard times, short cash, and short tempers...and what it takes to get through it all.
Recorded on Sunday, February 10, 2002--this is little more than a demo, but I wanted to get this recorded. Eventually, I'll probably re-do it.
Remixed on Saturday, February 16, 2002...getting closer...
Lyrics
Picture perfect day, sun easing out after rain
Wind's picking up, still can't push aside the pain
And the breeze is the only thing that's free
For you and me
A long time gone, we gave all we had to be reborn
Now the day never ends, and the nightfall's a distant beating drum
And the breeze is the only thing that's free
For you and me
Nightfall punctuates the years
Angry words, boiling tears
Through it all, love brings us back
What we share is more than what we lack
Somewhere down the road, time will settle up with us again
Until that day, we'll try to find a smile behind the wind
And the breeze is the only thing that's free
For you and me
And the breeze is the only thing that's free
For you and me
It won't always be
And the breeze is the only thing that's free
For you and me
