Some people say that instruments have songs in them. Guitar manufacturers, guitar collectors, music shop proprietors, people on KZbin mainly, but sometimes it's true.
Before my father died in the nursing home he'd been living in for years, I'd bought this little Takamine guitar for travelling but it took up residence in the dining room and tuned DADGBd it was quite insistent on making this particular song. The idea I had for the words was something about earth and wood, and maybe the crushing disappointment of a tree change that wasn't all you'd hoped for. Oh, and my fear of hospitals and operations. But some of the conversations I'd had with dad in his last few weeks started to creep in to it as well. He was seeing things that weren't there. He was somewhat aware with his physics teacher's mind that they weren't but then again they really were. Like the time he said mum had been with him the night before chatting away, and she was a lot better and made sense for once (she can't move on her own, and she does not have conversations any more). Or the time the family were all there around the bed but he twigged that we weren't real because we didn't have any legs (he'd observed just yesterday that we DID have legs).
I never heard him mention long bright tunnels or angels but they snuck in anyway. Why do some songs suffer from infestations of angels? He did say "when I wake up will I be dead?".
Anyway, here's a quick demo of the song. Gail McGlinn is playing the Kala tenor guitar.
That thing on my little finger is not a slide - so don't expect a rippin' solo - it's a splint cos the finger is broken, had to make do with 3.
