about

No one can dispute that the past two years have been challenging. Sometimes the best way to handle all the stress & chaos in one's life is to pick up a guitar & let one's feelings be completely exposed.

That is what happened on November 3, 2021. Candle had reached a point in his life where stress & worry were beginning to overwhelm his entire life. So he picked up his guitar, logged onto a streaming service & just played. He didn't care if there was anyone out there listening. He just needed to play - to express his feelings in that particular moment in time.

This is a chronicle of that performance.

See You In The Shadows…

lyrics

Darkness
========

I live the life of a truant
I like to contemplate darkness
But when I start to daydream
My mind turns straight to silence

Sometimes I look at myself
I look straight into my eyes
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile
Curved lips just can't disguise
But I think it's darkness making
My life worthwhile

I need to walk in the shadows
I need to dance in the rain
But when I'm left alone
My mind turns straight to silence

Sometimes I look at myself
I look straight into my eyes
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile
Curved lips just can't disguise
But I think it's darkness making
My life worthwhile

I get lost in the chaos
And die in the mundane
And I only seem happy when
My mind turns straight to silence

Sometimes I look at myself
I look straight into my eyes
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile
Curved lips just can't disguise
But I think it's darkness making
My life worthwhile
Oh yeah
One more time…
Sometimes I look at myself
I look straight into my eyes
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile
Curved lips just can't disguise
But I think it's darkness making
My life worthwhile
And I think it's darkness making
My life worthwhile
