Tangled (Steemit version) ©2018 Bennett Italia

in music •  7 years ago  (edited)


This song was an extra from a Songwriters' Competition. It seems as if pushing myself to write a song on a specific topic in 48 hours or less (by the time I get around to the contest that's usually how much time I have) gets my creative process working overtime and sometimes I pop out two instead of just the one required 😃

The song I entered in the contest was sweet and soft and sad, unlike Tangled, which is all gritty and rocky. Hope you like it!

TANGLED

Red threads tangled in every direction
So wrapped up in your quest for perfection
Oh and any one of these
Could take you where you need

Don't second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing

Oh! Sweet distraction could she be the one
Pulling at your heartstrings 'til they come undone
You could just let it bleed
And follow where it leads

Or you could second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing

This is the time this is the place
Don't know her name but you know her face
Don't know what she does, but you see what she is
So talk to her

You know you have no time to waste
If there is such a thing as fate
It comes hand in hand
With actions taken
Talk to her

If you could let these knots unravel
Just think of the distances you might travel
Oh and any one of these
Could take you where you need

So don't second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing

And the echoes go on and on
When you say what you want
So dream with your eyes
Open wide
'Cause there is no time
There is no time
Like this time

This is the time this is the place
Don't know her name but you know her face
Don't know what she does, but you see who she is
So talk to her

You know you have no time to waste
If there is such a thing as fate
It comes hand in hand
With actions taken
Talk to her

And the echoes go on and on
When you say what you want
So dream with your eyes
Open wide
'Cause there is no time
There is no time
Like this time

On and on and on and on and on

Sounds really good :-) Well done. What kind of guitar is that?

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

I don't know much about guitars... this one is a "Mitchell", it looks like it kind of has a dreadnought body with a cutaway to reach the higher frets. It's old and I couldn't adjust the neck any further, so I filed some of the frets higher up to stop buzzing. There's one note that I'm hearing the buzz on again, so I might have to break out the file again soon.

I like its sound though :D

Following you :)

Good to hear that there are still people who don't really care about expensive guitar brands :-) As long as it sounds good it is good!

lol it's not that I wouldn't like an expensive guitar... it's just that as a single dad living in a very rural town with few decent work opportunities, I haven't been able to afford one. Steemit may change that ;)
