KVR April

[offthewall]

One of my very rare forays into the KVR world.
After the last time I entered, back in December, I swore I would not do it again but .... sometimes it feels a lot like coming here. There is a historical pull that drags me in.
As it is a free-for-all I thought I would put this sweet little song up.

A dear internet-music friend, Angie Coogle from USA, sent me these thought provoking lyrics.
Guitar, baritone ukulele, bass, harmonica and vocals.

 
James.

Fetched, but will checkout later

James I believe this is the best one to date. You have a super rhythm section going on in the background, great vocals and of course your expert playing skills all mixed perfectly.  All I can say is WOW!

Very good playing, singing and arrangement, but I don't really understand what the song is saying.

Me neither, Will .....
but I'm a sucker for obscure lyrics. It's all to do with the musicality, to me.
This lady writes a lot of 'stream of consciousness' style stuff philosophising on the meaning of life, etc.
Here are the lyrics to judge for yourself.

Do you hold.. An Empty glass..
That's Beautiful. On the outside?
Did you fill.. An Empty glass..
Because you like.. The way it looks?
Do you hold.. So tight that it
begins to.. Shake and crack?
Do you toss.. It in the trash..
When it turns ugly and cuts your hand?

V2:
Do you hold.. By An empty glass..
That is beautiful.. On the outside?
Did you trash.. An Empty glass..
Because it cuts... Your tight hand?
Or do you hold.. So tight that you..
begin to Shake and crack?
Do you toss.. You in the trash..
When you turn Ugly and trash the glass??

Chorus:
Empty glasses that we hold..
Empty glasses we all fill...
Empty glasses that we use..
Empty glasses we do trash...
Unless those glasses are full..

Bridge:
The problem.. Of course,
Is we all need a glass..
To hold our water..
To hold  ……. our life..

Unless .. Of course, There is no need for a glass..
To hold our water.. To hold our life..
Of course, There would be nothing to hold..
To hold our judgement.. As all our glasses would be full..
Unless .. Of course, There is no need for a glass..
To hold our water.. To hold our life..
Of course, There would be nothing to hold..
To hold our judgement.. As all our glasses would be full..

Empty glasses that we hold..
Empty glasses we all fill...
Empty glasses that we use..
Empty glasses we do trash...
Unless those glasses are full..
