Description
this is a song based on an image that came to my head as i was trying to write lyrics, the guitar part had been in my guitar for the past 4 years and i had struggled to find a place for it, until a friend and i started our acoustic guitar duo. we wanted something that emphasized the guitar part and the melody, lemme know what you think!

Lyrics
He trugdes along with a dog on his side
bright sun shining down on his shaded face
His awkward gate makes progress slow
But he grins when he tunes into the bluebirds song
She shrugs her shoulders condescendingly
Laughs out loud while he clumsily walks his dog
Laughter couldn’t cure her frightened eyes
He asks himself what had spawned that wilting smile?
He waits and waits for the lights to fade
Its 18 steps to cross the crowded street
The bluebird’s song has been replaced
By these thoughtless machines harsh sand paper gusts
Don’t go he said as he took his hand
Death drives by while the lights are green have you seen
I haven’t seen in 70 years
He says as he motions to his canine friend
The street had stopped and the lights were red
They took their first step onto the parted sea
He counted softly with his tender steps
Almost home he said as they struck 17
Offered his thanks for the pleasant help
Now I can go be with my wife while the sun sets low
He let him go and they split apart
Step by step around all of the hand shaped stones
bright sun shining down on his shaded face
His awkward gate makes progress slow
But he grins when he tunes into the bluebirds song
She shrugs her shoulders condescendingly
Laughs out loud while he clumsily walks his dog
Laughter couldn’t cure her frightened eyes
He asks himself what had spawned that wilting smile?
He waits and waits for the lights to fade
Its 18 steps to cross the crowded street
The bluebird’s song has been replaced
By these thoughtless machines harsh sand paper gusts
Don’t go he said as he took his hand
Death drives by while the lights are green have you seen
I haven’t seen in 70 years
He says as he motions to his canine friend
The street had stopped and the lights were red
They took their first step onto the parted sea
He counted softly with his tender steps
Almost home he said as they struck 17
Offered his thanks for the pleasant help
Now I can go be with my wife while the sun sets low
He let him go and they split apart
Step by step around all of the hand shaped stones

just in the mix though... It sounds great until the voices come in and because they are too loud and with a little too much low end and midrange that they cover up the nice guitar part. I would really like to hear the mix tweaked, as I like this kind of music, great guitar playing and a sort of a quirk in the melody. Reminded me of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra.
