This is the first song that I’ve written where I used the keyboard to write a vocal melody first with lyrics, then the guitar, then I sang – before adding bass and mandolin. I’m very pleased how it turned out – since I figure I need vocal lessons and a year of singing practice before I become at least “OK” at singing. Its a different way of writing songs, and a very good challenge.

I've been blessed
To know these things
Experience the change
That progress brings
Tubes that glowed
Into the night
Orange amber

Trains that whistled
Into the night
Tenders hot
Engine light

To know these things
Experience the change
