about

Roll On The Day is an optimistic free standing song originally written and recorded in January 2023 for the 5th annual 48 hour album project, as yet unreleased. It's played with a partial Capo on 5 strings. I don't know whether it may become part of a future, larger project of my own, or not. Too soon to tell, enjoy this preview here as a subscriber bonus, but do go and listen to the 26 tracks on the compilation album by "48houralbum" here on Bandcamp when it does come out, soon.

lyrics

ROLL ON THE DAY

In this shadow year of after,
We are still standing tall but frail,
Hearts full of hope and trepidation,
Setting off along the unknown trail
All along the unknown trail

Though the sky is dark and brooding,
And the ground beneath us has been shaken,
These ever seeking souls will not be swayed,
With fortitude unbreakable, and love unspoken.
love is unspoken.

Refrain:
Roll on the day
Blinded with light
Casting all the gloominess behind,
Dissipating gloominess behind

In the midst of waves of crisis,
Always a solace can be found,
In just the greeting of a stranger,
The echoes of our tribe that still surrounds.
Echoes of our tribes are still around.

Roll on the day
Crowded with light
Dissipating gloominess behind
