We were challenged to write a message to our younger selves using the medium of the blues. I've never much to do with the blues, although, I do love it… Excuse the musical styling and rough vocals – I was imagining a grizzled blues band in some filthy old bar. So here they are… Very rough take on what this could sound like!

A message to me when I was young
Been your guardian angel since we begun
I’m the gods and the demons up in your ears
Telling you things you dont’ wanna to hear
The roads long and dusty
The message is clear
I can help with directions
While you change the gears
Sending you messages
Back though the years
We’ve been driving this road since we were young
Driving in circles back to where we begun
There’s still mountains to climb
Through the valleys of tears
But I’m always beside you
I’m up in your ears
I can give you the roadmap
While you change the gears
Sending you messages
Back though the years
There are good folk and bad folk
you’re gonna meet
And we’re both easily influenced
we’re easily beat
If the deal that they’re selling
sounds far too sweet
They are the grill and
you are the meat
C
And I’m telling you now
I’m up in your ear
Its easier to live
When your conscience is clear
Sending you messages
Back though the years
Love this song! Very strong, haunting vibe. Love “I can help with the directions while you change the gears” & “They are the grill and you are the meat” Excellent lyrics and production. Good to hear it again. Thanks for posting.
Moody and bluesy – good one!
