lyrics

why is the sunlight sweetest
just before it’s gone?
—all gold and warm and mournful—
maybe she’s a teasing mistress
withholding herself till dawn
—treating love like she’s immortal.

but she just can’t go on being
something that she’s not
—can’t light the way for always—
just like the first flower given
is always the first to rot
—dearest allies are the ones who evade.

and while i know that western sunset
holds hope for far more than a few
when she dips below the surface,
i fear she’s gone just like you.

it’s hard to keep a promise
you don’t know that you’ve made
—those that come and go in silence—
the harder we try to fall
the slower we are to sleep
—while the warm gold fades to twilight.

and while i know that western sunset
holds hope for far more than a few
when she dips below the surface,
i fear she’s gone just like you.

why is the sunlight sweetest
just before it’s gone?
—all gold and warm and mournful—
maybe she’s a teasing mistress
withholding herself till dawn
—treating love like she’s immortal.

and while i know that western sunset
holds hope for far more than a few
when she dips below the surface,
i fear she’s gone just like you.
she’s gone forever just like you.

The Melody That Follows Me
by Glenn Crytzer's Secluded Seven

supported by 4 fans who also own “Golden Hour”

Glenn Crytzer gathered a cadre of great jazz musicians for the dual purpose of bringing joy to their audience and income to the out-of-work performers. This album exudes so much goodwill, merriment and musicality! It's not just a great album, it's also a remarkable recording considering each of the "secluded seven" recorded their parts individually, yet they sound so tight. Go pick up your copy! It will make you so happy! Jeudi

It is so uplifting. The perfect combination of beautiful vocals and outstanding musicians. And I'm now using Vinny's 'Fretboard Knowledge' course to rescue my very moderate guitar playing! markvk
