Description : Acoustic electric guitar mic and direct, vocal recorded with neauman mic. Performed and tracked as it happened.
Ghosts.
Ballad Based on a True Story.
There you have it.
Voltage
Broken Man
A Northwest winter wind swept through night
and it chilled John Lee to his very bones
He walks alone in the frozen moonlight
His shadow chasing him home
Down a lonely path through an unlocked door
He wanders in
A faded picture on a dusty shelf looks back at him
Thirteen years a go he took a wife
An angel by the name of Cheryl Ann
Just three years later a drunk driver took her life
It left John Lee a Broken Man
Sometimes at night he hears her voice call his name
He holds her in his heart but it's not the same
Haunted by the memory of Cheryl Ann
John Lee he cries the tears of a Broken Man
Tonight John Lee's decided he's had enough
The heartache hurts too much "I can't go on"
He puts on a record of Cheryl Ann's favorite song
And he loads a shell in his twelve gauge shotgun
in a darkened room he sits alone as the music plays
He turns the gun on himself and he starts to pray
Dear God in heaven forgive me
I Love You Cheryl Ann
John Lee he cries a Prayer of a Broken Man

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.
Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.

Love the flamenco styles around 2:07/4:00 ish, great touch
Been at this a long long time.
When I decided to develop this song, I could not rest till it was complete. The guitar track was worked out note for note by tedious repeated trial and error to the point that I can forever play this one verbatim anytime anyplace without thinking about it. I appreciate your kind comments. I strive to be as versatile as the giants of music that influence my own expressions.

PS. The guitar is beautiful btw.
