The Song Remains

I think of this song as a “sister song” to Playing Your Guitar because the two songs were written within a few weeks of each other and have similar structures. I also had a lot of the same things on my mind when I wrote them. But while Playing Your Guitar is a tribute to David Brown, and a short bio of our relationship, The Song Remains is about how a song might have a life of its own independent of the person who wrote it or sang it. So, I think of it as a song about songs and people who pull them from the ether to share.

He might have a broken string? Can’t really tell from here.
