Well ...

a couple of months back one of our KVR'ists posted a very short but atmospheric instrumental piece which immediately grabbed my attention as it was very much in my own style.
I asked if he fancied making it into a song as I was inspired by the music and the title of the piece.
I took it up with just an acoustic guitar and fleshed out a story from the title, sent it back to Dan for him to stitch together and put a bit of extra filling into it.

After some time, in the mix, this is the result.
I Didn't Mean To Get So Lost.

I sing and play acoustic guitar ... Dan does the rest.

And ...
for those who aren't Lame, here is an OGG

Oh ... and the lyrics:

When you told me that our life
Together was at an end
I thought that you were playing a trick on me
I really did not comprehend.
After all of those years we had been good together
I felt that you had got your wires crossed.
I just wandered aimlessly through the rest of my life
I didn’t mean to get so lost.

I did not mean to get so lost
How could I have not foreseen the cost.


I have lost my home I’ve lost my job
I’ve lost everything I ever had that was good
I just hit the skids like so many other guys before me have
And did those stupid things that I never should.
I was down and out and drunk and walking
A dark and lonely highway
I really thought I’d lost my mind
Then I thought about the things that sent me down this path
And I remembered just what I’d left behind.

I did not mean to get so lost
How could I have not foreseen the cost.

Monster tracks - both Dan's contribution, and guitars (particularly the slide action), and vocal. Outstanding lyrics, as well. :;

Oren has expressed my thoughts also so a big +1  :;
