Castles In The Air (New Song) on 3 String Cohiba CBG

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I wrote this one day when I was feeling a bit stressed about the building work we're having done on the house.
Good to get frustrations out in a song!

Castles In The Air

Thoughts suspended like brick dust in the sun.
Hours fly away like bullets from gun.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

Feel just like a child stuck in an adults game.
Another day goes by, it all looks just the same.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

Sometimes wish we'd never started down this road.
Soon we'll find out if our walls can bear the load.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

Thoughts suspended like brick dust in the sun,
Hours fly away like bullets from gun.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

thanks Patrick, I'm using the looper (a thump hitting the mic, then shaking some paer clips)...wish I could stamp my foot, but with my back problems make that doesn't work out : -/

Hang in there Be!

Great song and awesome git work!!!  :-)

Are you foot tapping or using the looper with beat laid down? Either way I like it a lot!
