I got home in time last night to submit my song to the ForSongSake.com songwriting competition. This month’s challenge was to write a song titled “Reach Back.” Here’s what I composed in January.
Reaching Back
I’ve got memories of faces I met
They’re all mixing together the older I get
I’m reaching back
I’m reaching back
I don’t remember you
I don’t remember you
I’m gripping sand,
Time keeps slipping and slipping through my hand
I’m reaching back
I’m reaching back
I don’t remember you
I don’t remember you
The smile you’ve worn
You seemed so happy to see me, but I’m torn
I’m reaching back
I’m reaching back
I don’t remember you
I don’t remember you
But don’t take it bad
But don’t take it bad
I don’t remember me, too
I don’t remember me, too
It’s too late for a rescue
It’s too late for a rescue
I don’t remember you
Set List – Acoustic Coffee House (TN) – 1/26/2012
Last night’s set was rather epic. Great response from the TN crowd. I played from 8-10, then filled in the end of the night for a third set from 11:35-1 ish. This is the best I could do when recollecting the order of the three sets.
