about

I wrote a whole other song over the weekend. It is fairly different from this one, and I found myself unable or unwilling to finish it just yet. The guitar is in the box, ready for words I'm not quite ready to write. I wrote this song to warm up. I used similar chords with a different feel, and I aimed for a broad theme to expand upon later. I will continue to limber up with one more song, and then I'll try to finish what I started.

Somewhat organically, I have found myself for the third time ending the calendar year with a cycle of three songs to reflect on the year that was, the change that found me, the lessons learned, and the expectation of something new. Last year I called it "End Cycle". The year before it was "Long Year". This year I'm calling it "Orbit". Come back next week for part two.

lyrics

All of this is change
All of these are lessons
All of this is change
All of these are lessons

Lessons can be strange
Hold that thought and begin again

All of these are dreams
Some of them are questions
All of these are dreams
Some of them are questions

Questions can be strange
Hold that thought and begin again
