Just sharing a little bit of my music.Some written by myself or co-writing with lots of other friends.
Story behind the song
after watching the movie Django Unchained,i was inspired to write this one.
Lyrics
Old Times There
Stars and bars the memory scars
Like the whip that cracks the back
Smell the hell that plantations dwell
That still linger among the shacks
Rows to h*** for miles to go
Reap the sorrows of famalies torn
Worth from birth to work the earth
Their souls were riddled and worn
Winds still send the mortal sin
Blows stale through mossy oaks
Pains that stain forever remain
In hearts so heavily soaked
Eyes of whys look up to the skies
And pray as crows solemn cackle
Locked and stocked at auction blocks
Sold one by one in shackles
And the days of old still hang around,though freedom bell's done ringin'
Recessed deep in our minds eye,the days before Dr. King and Lincoln
Just look around,hear that sound,still the past comes slowly creepin'
Scenes on screens that movies bring
Keep stirring that ghost to death
Remind and grind till we all find
A last tear and catch of breath
Revere the dear of those tragic years
With soft rain and a song
Loud and proud let love shroud
Over the hearts where love belongs
Curse the worst then kill it first
The grudge we hold inside
Live to give to those we're with
Don't let tomorrows hide
News is blues and we can't choose
The past that churns from hell
Hope to cope don't fall from scope
And our journeys we shall tell
And the days of old still hang around,though freedom bell's done ringin'
Recessed deep in our minds eye,the days before Dr. King and Lincoln
Just look around,hear that sound,the past comes slowly creepin'
These memories remain,like blood on the cotton
Old times there,will never be forgotten
