I was going to go out to watch live music, but thought I'd make some myself to share on Steem instead.

This pleasant song has been stuck in my head lately, singing it outside when I walk around. I used to listen to it often, but lost track of it for a few years until a couple of days ago. It's a calm and simple tune, yet the lyrics are so powerful. See for yourself below or as you listen along.

There were no drums to this, so I sat down for the first time to put this take together from scratch. It's a gentle song, and fairly easy, but I felt the need to add some dynamics and color.

While Steem Land is tough these days, I'm happy to play music and share it with those who care to listen. It fills the void I have for not gigging around these days, something I really want to do again once my baseball season is over.

Speakers/headphones with good bass are recommended for the full sound.

Lyrics:

This year's love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own too long
And when ya hold me like you do
It feels so right, oh now
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feelin' like ya can't go on
Turnin' circles and time again
Cut like a knife, oh now
If ya love me, got to know for sure
Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet, sweet lies, oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When ya kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singin' ain't this life so sweet
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
'Cause who's to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't ya know this life goes on
Won't ya kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singin' ain't this life so sweet
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
Wo-o-o-o-a-ah yeah
This year's love had better last

Recorded 7/20/19. Please let me know what you think. 

Thanks so much for your interest and time,
