My first foray into Country-Rock.

The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
I recently added a "virtual" steel pedal guitar to my musical arsenal and decided to write a country song. I wrote the music first and thought it sounded like one of those country songs that prays to God for guidance. Half tongue-in-cheek, half serious...depending on my mood.
Lyrics
I call your name whenever I am scared. When other folks might not seem to care. I speak your name when I find myself in need. But never with the thoughts of selfishness or greed. When Im tired or when Im feeling ill. When I cant seem to find my strength or will. The comfort I feel embraced in your arms. No one else can do no harm. Oh Lord, Let me feel right again. Oh Lord, Protect me from my only sin. And cover me with your lovin light. Against the lowest depths of the darkest night. When people say Im doing it all wrong. I wont deny that I know all those songs. But when youre light wraps around my soul. I know for sure it doesnt matter what Im told. And if you hear me, let me ask one thing of you Let my soul be soothed and my heart know the truth Let my soul be soothed and my heart know the truth Let my soul be soothed and my heart know the truth Oh Lord, Let me feel right again. Oh Lord, Protect me from my only sin. And cover me with your lovin light. Against the lowest depths of the darkest night.
