Lyrics

Did you hear about Lewis? Sounds like he bought it. I hope that he got everything he wanted.

Say, how did he do it? I bet the house is still haunted. Let’s finish all those paintings that he started

You never really know, do ya? You never really know

They’ll talk about him on Sunday He’ll get a cut from collection They’ll wonder how to circumvent the next one

They won’t mention the sad part They’ll call it a celebration And they’ll complement the flower arrangements

You never really know, do ya? You never really know

Fantastic performance and I'm always a sucker for that secondary dominant change. Great stuff!

Awesome song. The melody is so good and I like the contrast in dynamics. Great work

This is awesome! I love the juxtaposition of strong pop melody with weird dissonant chords.

Really enjoyed this. The acoustic performance has great energy and dynamic movement, and the vocal melody keeps things interesting with some strong shifts along the way. Lovely chord choices too, and your voice really shines, especially on the higher notes.

Really like the energy in the guitar and your voice... which has a ton of gritty verve. The jazzy chords and the raw quality tp it all off. Intriguing lyrics too. Nice.
