A Life of Unfulfilled Dreams

Liner Notes

I saw the forum 'Lonely Gear' challenge, and decided I would dig my Seagull Merlin out of the closet (quite literally), as I can't remember the last time I used it. In fact, when tuning, (it was WAY flat), I tuned it incorrectly, but the song materialized form that!. Usual tuning is C-G-C-C (it's a 4-string similar to a mountain dulcimer), but I tuned it C-F-C-C. Also pulled out my Kala baritone uke and Luna Tatoo concert uke for this one.
Length-wise, it's 12 seconds too long for the 'short song' challenge, but I didn't want to cut the outro!

A Life of Unfulfilled Dreams ©2022 Michael J Birch

So dark and scary, I’m holding my breath
Exploring into the darkest depths
Of the closet that is my mind
A long forgotten memory
A melody in a minor key
Never know what I will find

Happiness, sadness, everything between
A myriad of lifetime scenes
Thunderstorms, sunlight, never what they seem
A life of unfulfilled dreams

Happiness, sadness, everything between
A myriad of lifetime scenes
Thunderstorms, sunlight, never what they seem
A life of unfulfilled dreams
