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

Dream
======

I dreamed I saw one night
By the fires of a pagan rite
An old stone of yore
Ready to divulge its lore
And as I sat and listened
A voice came upon the wind:
"Be free my love
Be free my love"

And in the spirit world above
The Æs Sidhe fly in love
They sing a song for the earth below
Where empty smiles get shown
And as I sat to hear
All that one day would be clear
The sun faded out
The sun faded out
And I banished myself…

And in the frozen recesses of my mind
All the unholy shackled began to climb
Their life is nearly done
But once again
I am alone
Silence explodes goodbye
Goodbye one last time

And as I gently awoke
Someone softly spoke:
"Be free my love
Be free my love"
