Memories and Possibilities - Original Music

Sir Cork: throws a line of lyrics at songwriter
Me: catches words...writes song in 15 min

Yep. That's how it went down.

A late-night discord chat turned into the first song I've written in ages.

This is a little rough as I haven't picked up a guitar in over a year, but I wanted to get the song on video before I go to sleep and forget how to play it. 🤣

I hope this little ditty makes you happy. 💖



Memories and Possibilities


Time seems to have run away from me
Haven't played guitar since last summer
Got memories and used to bes
Comin' up as I sit here and ponder

Can't focus on my game tonight
Head isn't in it, ain't gonna fight
So I'll sit here with my memories
And create new possibilities

Tonight I got nothing to do
So I'm singin' to you, singin' to you
Got nothin' to doooo
So I'm singin' to you

I owe my guitar an apology
12-string been sittin in a corner
Been bleedin' words crafting stories, see
And living like a loner

Memories and used to bes
Run away with possibilities
The clearest thing that I can see
Is how each of us must be free

Tonight I got nothing to do
So I'm singin' to you, singin' to you
Got nothin' to doooo
So I'm singin' to you

I’ve got hope in my heart
That the future is bright
And I know if we start
We can make it all right

So I’m counting my blessings
And writing a song
‘Cause as long we’re singing
We can’t go wrong

And all those memories and used to bes
They teach us everything you see
Together we can turn the key
To glorious possibility

Tonight I got nothing to do
So I'm singin' to you, singin' to you
Got nothin' to doooo
So I'm singin' to you

Dedicated to @snook. 🤗


I've had too many plates in the air and haven't posted on Hive in forever, but here I am, sending music at y'all.

Thanks for taking the time to listen. Brightest blessings to you and yours. 💞


Whatever happens, keep singing your song!
Peace @Katrina-Ariel

Got a little choked up hearing your voice on a new song. Thank you !LUV you. This right here

I owe my guitar an apology

makes me think you might miss music a little bit. You ever consider adding it to your games? While people are flipping through, they could hear that and would add an awesome touch. Just a thought. Some dreams find the same path.

Thank you my friend. I miss music but not enough to make me fit it into my schedule, apparently. Life gets busy under deadline. Good news is the game I'm writing is almost wrapped up and I probably won't write the next one under contract so I can take my time with it.

I don't think my music would really fit with the game, though it's a great idea. I'm not set up to record nor are my guitar skills perfect enough for that sort of thing, but I can sit down around a virtual campfire and play for you and the fam. 💞

Perfect, exactly what I had in mind. Gold. Solid gold! Got tiny dancers here to prove it.

I'm firmly in the camp that says "Whatever it was that got you restarted I'm glad it happened."

Per normal, your poetry is wonderful and your voice is pure. Thank you.

Agreed. And thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy it. Thanks for listening and for your ongoing encouragement. I appreciate you so much! 💖

with tears in eyes

You do not know how much you missed something until you hear it.

Thank you for all the memories that came flooding back listening to your new song.

I will say I was shopping for new clothes you could wear while playing this song! LOLL and pink wigs of yonder danced in my mind :D

This was beautiful!!! I do not know how I was so lucky to have it dedicated to me but I will cherish every bit of it.

HUGE HUGS!!!!!

Dedicated to you because I know life hasn't been easy lately and I haven't been present but I never stopped sending you love. Hugs back!

It's for everyone, of course, but dedicated to you. Was hoping it would make you happy. 💞

Funny how many fun clothes I have and still I live in comfy pants and t-shirts. 🤣

Was hoping it would make you happy

It did and still does :D

and I know you are there for me. I know if I send a DM, but you will find time.

This song is meant to be loved by many and is already. You do that for people. It's your magic.

Oh, what a beautiful performance. I loved it. I like the connection that exists with the instrument, in this case, the guitar. Congratulations.
