Liner Notes:
Word came around the songfight community recently that Blue Lang passed. I never interacted with Blue but apparently he was a huge part of the early songfight community. The Nur Ein challenge is wrapping up this weekend (voting ends Tuesday or Wednesday) and this was the title. So I made a shadow for it.

Lyrics:
Blue is the color on my mind
Soon we will all run out of time
Few are the true friends we can find
From the way our friends in common talk about you
The skies are hidden by the gray
Hiding, the sun won't shine today
And I hear all the words they say
I feel like this because of the way they talk about you
And the colors don't look the same
When I hear them say your name
And the whiskey and the river both run dry
Blue is the color on my mind
Soon we will all run out of time
Few are the true friends we can find
From the way our friends in common talk about you
From the way our friends in common talk about you
Please keep your comments respectful, honest, and constructive. Please focus on the song and not the demo.

I read this as a lyric first and it certainly hit the mark i think you aimed at ! very good. Nice musically as well, some nice touches of instruments sneaking in! Cool instrumental piece! Good song !
A bit of truism in your tribute/ode to Blue Lang. I especially like the formation of the lyrics and how it comes back to, "the way they talk about you." I've admired your arrangement sensibilities since I first started hanging out in FAWMland. Great work, my man.
this came out awesome. its very bittersweet. very nice tribute!
Beautiful tribute song! It's a really hard thing to take on, and you've pulled it off brilliantly. I particularly love the contrast you get with that m8, lovely progression there (that little descending bit!). Nice work!
This is a solid piece of work, TC. Lovely lyric, set to a great bed track. I really like the arrangement and your instrumentation on this one too.
Good music. Really like "the whiskey and the river both run dry".
"Soon we will all run out of time" That's way too true. The years fly by. One minute we're 20, the next we're 40. And that's not even counting how fast the kids grow up. Anyway, I like this old school country rock vibe. Very cool.
