about

Another fairly wide brief this time around with a waltz being the Tunesmiths challenge for this composition. Naturally, I decided to write a Country & Western waltz based loosely around the words of the 42nd psalm.

After recording a basic drum 3/4 pattern on the kit in the music corner of our church, I then added acoustic guitar, bass, mandolin and accordion before giving it my very best hillbilly vocal.

lyrics

Oh lonesome heart, lonesome heart
Why are you weary and blue?
I’m far from home, there’s an ache in my bones
And it seems I’ve been forgotten ‘bout too

Oh troubled mind, troubled mind
Saddled with with worries and fears
I had music and sway and fine wine everyday
Now I drink from a cup filled with tears

Oh lonesome heart, hear the song
That’s sung in the dead of the night
It’s a melody true that’s both hopeful and blue
And it might just see me all right

I’ll keep travelling still from river to hill
Deep calls to deep in my soul
But your waves and your breakers are my lonesome heart shakers
Wash over me and I am whole
If you wash over me, I am whole
