Broken Chime

You can't hide
You can't hide from yourself
Blame it on somebody else
You can try
But you can't hide
Broken Chime
Used to sing out loud and true
Now its all focused on you
but its a lie
Broken Chime
Lit a fire
and you burned that olive branch
the last tender you could cash
pretty liar
you lit a fire
What did they promise you?
What did they say?
Was the trip worth the price that you paid?
Where are those friends who were here yesterday?
Gone away...
Broken Chime
All alone out in a storm
ain't it time to come home
and sing again?

45 years got a few friends I can trust
I got a couple more baby we don't talk that much
I got a woman my God she's the best I've ever seen
She keep me rollin like an 18 wheel machine
and i'm on a roll I'm rollin, rollin on.
I'm an Indiana boy with a heart that won't sit still
My cups runnin over but I still aint got my fill
Pray for me Mary that I keep my spirit right
Help me Jesus when I wanna give up the fight
and i'm on a roll.. I'm rollin... rollin on
Hey America
I'm lookin for a sign
Hey America
a little sign of life
Hey America
Livin by faith and not by sight
Drivin through the mountains
in the middle of the night
rain coming down
but I think I see your light
Hey America
To the doctors
And the nurses
And the scientists
Working on a cure
To the factory worker
The stocker of shelves
The delivery driver
Carryer of mail
The teachers, parents, children, partners
Pastors, janitors, first responders -
All of you -
You’re not alone
We’re not alone
You’re not alone
We’re not alone
I'm on a roll I'm rollin rollin on
Hey America
I'm lookin for a sign
Hey America
a little sign of life
Hey America
Livin by faith and not by sight
Drivin through the mountains
in the middle of the night
rain coming down
but I think we'll be alright
Hey America

Joel David Weir recommends:
Cha Cha Palace
by Angélica Garcia
What can I say? I learned about AG from NPR, listened to "Cha Cha Palace" once..then again..then..I've lost track. It has made me rethink everything I thought I knew about songwriting. Its that good.
go to album
I love Wrest. Lots of heart and honesty under beautiful, smart song craft. I'm sharing this album because it was what got me hooked but the new EP is just as dazzling.

IT WON/T BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME LIVE
by The Twilight Sad
Another Scot band. This live record, released during the pandemic reminds me what I love about concerts. The energy is palpable on this. Life goal is to see The Twilight Sad, or open for them one day!
