The Bent Strings

Acoustic middle of the road.

The Bent Strings are: Paul Mckendrick Just a rough mix of songs I wrote and recorded as a hobby. Patience and Persistence are NOT to be under rated. Actually I love the songwriting process, it's recording that I'm not too fond of, but there are usually surprises along the way. Anyone wishing to do a cover, remix, or whatever is welcome and encouraged, just send me an email.

Story behind the song

Steve Forbert's "January 23-30, 1978" was the inspiration

Lyrics

Rising up in this clear blue sky
My head is buzzing a familiar sound
Blood is singing in between its beats
I’m heading east to my hometown

I left the city of traffic and egos
It’s time to slow this old pace down
So kick your feet back, enjoy the ride
I’m heading east to my hometown

All the faces are familiar now
I know their stories and all their backgrounds
So come with me, and I’ll show you around
Chatting it up, in my hometown

The rivers calm and calling my name
Kill the motor, we’ll drift on down
Passing landmarks of days gone by
Reminiscing in my hometown

Chorus

The winds of change have swept this town
There’s fragile signs blowing around
You’ve got to live your life for today
What ever time throws your way

Well its time, I'm ready to return
A final glimpse, and I’m westward bound
The river beats, all through these veins
It sings the song of my hometown

My hometown
My hometown
This is your hometown yeah
