Lyrics

BROKEN DREAM CONFESSOR
© 2012 Sahlen/Starburst

Whisky dreams and moonlight schemes I'm living hand to mouth
Third degree is all I see; got nailed in my own house
Been through the mill, it broke my will, don't speak of this again
Trail of broken promises to get me in the end

(chorus)
BROKEN DREAM CONFESSOR
WAIVE MY WORRIED WOES
FEED ME FROM THE TREE OF LIFE
KEEP ME ON MY TOES
ANYTHING TO EASE THE STING
AND GET ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
BROKEN DREAM CONFESSOR
HELP ME MAKE THINGS RIGHT

Harmonica man is what I am, a lifetime full of sorrows
Breathe out and in, life's just a whim, unfulfilled tomorrows
Reckon yours may open doors from silver spoon on tongue
But man oh man I crash the plan that stifles where I'm from

(chorus)
BROKEN DREAM CONFESSOR
WAIVE MY WORRIED WOES
FEED ME FROM THE TREE OF LIFE
KEEP ME ON MY TOES
ANYTHING TO EASE THE STING
AND GET ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
BROKEN DREAM CONFESSOR
HELP ME MAKE THINGS RIGHT

(instrumental break)

(bridge)
Help me to move past broken dreams to bring me inner bliss
Protecting misbegotten schemes, a lifetime gone amiss

(chorus)
BROKEN DREAM CONFESSOR
WAIVE MY WORRIED WOES
FEED ME FROM THE TREE OF LIFE
KEEP ME ON MY TOES
ANYTHING TO EASE THE STING
AND GET ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
BROKEN DREAM CONFESSOR
HELP ME MAKE THINGS RIGHT

Very nice Rich guitar strumming throughout the song. It sounded like a 12 string guitar if I am not mistaken. Sounded very professionally performed and recorded imperfect meter and rhythm. The lyrics stood out as being more than your usual run-of-the-mill rhymes I would say the lyrics were one of the strong points of the song.

Jay I really like this singer he has such a cowboy sound that i just love...Everything about this song makes me think of so many lives are like this, the curves life throws at some people...This is a job well done

Very clear and organic sounding piece.

love the slide guitar in entry. songwriting pretty darn good, lyrics well done, vocal a bit different, may be a bit old, but also has a Cash feel, not a bad thing.
