The Thin Line Is Darkness

Music has always been the answer In the moment, nothing else matters Get lost in the sounds, the lyrics Lose control and become the music, Holy Spirit There are many artists, that have influenced and are special to me Here is one of many, the man known as TVZ In his simplicity, there is beauty His fingerpicking and songwriting Feel the emotion in every tune, the real music from the country From Lungs to Poncho & Lefty One of the reasons I got to writin Was to avoid the gamblin, booze and ramblin I feel the pain so intensely sometimes, all I can do is cry That truly seems easier than waitin around to die I guess this is a thank you to one of my favorites, as far as I’m concerned If you won’t take it from another legend, Steve Earle: “Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world” That’s a solid selling point, to get immersed So fare thee well TVZ, your legacy lives on Wish more people could see, Your soul was hurt, these songs made you happy Relatable, I’m built the same way Pulled into the darkness like gravity, but the dark keeps me at bay Your recordings never got me snoring Never boring, filled with nostalgia From a time, never got to know ya I watched the documentary heartworn highways Got me living my life my way, It was motivating, started opening This is the beginning of my inner exploring So don’t worry y’all, I’ll be here in the morning
