"Scars" (unreleased song)

Hey everyone (or anyone? I don’t know how to address things I’m just throwing out into the ether of the internet)

I usually try to post on here once a week, every Sunday, but I’ve missed the past 2 or 3 Sundays. Life has definitely been very involved lately both professionally and personally, and I just haven’t been able to make as much time to write as I’d like. Truthfully, I have several articles saved and ready to go out, but I haven’t come up with great ways to share them and really do the ideas justice, so I’m just sitting on them for now. And because of the aformentioned life complications, writing new ones just hasn’t been easy lately.

Hopefully next week I’ll be able to get back to my regular posts, but for now, I thought I’d just drop a new song for you!

This one I just finished writing a week or two ago. I remember being pretty stuck when I sat down to write this particular morning, and when I’m stuck, I tend to just start writing my surroundings. What do I see, what’s the weather like, what’s the temperature, what month/time of year are we in? I start there, just poetically pointing out literally what moment in time I’m in, and then that tends to always lead somewhere.

So in this particular moment of struggle, I looked outside my front window and noticed two crows resting on an electric line running along the street. It was a foggy morning as well, a very eerie scene. But then, when I grabbed my guitar and sat down to look out the window once more, the crows began flying away right as I began to strum. So I started there.

And from there, the song just took a life of it’s own. To the point where I don’t actually think this is my song. Meaning, I don’t think this is one I’ll put out and sing. I think this is for someone else, just not sure who yet. There is a message I gather as I read the lyrics and listen to the tone of the song, and it seems more powerful if somebody not myself sang it. But either way, I enjoy it at the moment.

Lyrics below for everyone, voice memo below for paid subscribers. Thank you again for being here and I’ll do my best to be back next week with a new article, thank you for being patient!

Were you just watching me?
I felt your eyes
See all you need to see,
it makes no difference

I am who I am
You are who you are
There is no us
only scars

Resting on power lines
you filthy crow
Waiting until I die
I've always known it

Did not read your mind
Did not travel far
Deep in your eyes
only scars

I am who I am
You are who you are
I am who I am
You are who you are
There is no us
only scars
