Well, folks, it's been a rough year with not much room or inclination for music. I've finally decided that good times or bad, music is essential so I got to work and wrote this. My hearing has degraded a bit more, so I'm quite dependent on the folks here to help me get the sounds right, so thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide. And here it is, Flying Away. Thanks! https://www.reverbnation.com/kevinibsen/song/34934345-flying-away flying away k. walsh 4/13/2025 verse 1 breakin down seems like forever and when the day came round she kicked the door down that stood in her way holding on waiting forever and when the ring came her way she grabbed that thing with both hands and she held on chorus she had a name and it rang like silver and she would always smile when she promised me that she would be gone she was ashamed tears flow like a river of pain and she would always cry while the world was coming down around her yeah she would be flying away flying away verse 2 running down i be lost forever and when i finally broke down and she took my hand like the queen of the world that she was for such a long time she thought she could see forever and when she finally called me well i had nothing but i gave her every single thing that i had to give she had a name and it rang like silver and she would always smile when she promised me that she would be gone she was ashamed tears flow like a river of pain and she would always cry while the world was coming down around her yeah she would be flying away flying away

My voice has't completely gone, it's raspy and sounds like I have a severe case of laryngitis. The classic old man gravelly hoarse thing. At least I can still order a coffee! And because I have something like a voice there's hope. Thanks for the encouragement!

I don't care if you made it with your grandpappy's old saw, it kicks major *****. Got to say though, that's a very nice looking guitar!

Another badass Bats Brew rocker! I love the guitar work (but I always do) and the killer vocals over those riffs. A real winner, hope you sell a crap-ton of downloads!

I love all the fresh ideas you come up with, you never seem to miss. This is just great, and it sounds awesome. Congrats to you and Gary!

Well done, enjoyed the guitar work, great tones, and love the chord choices! The song kept me interested and you did a good job on the vocals. I feel your pain, I had COVID and lost voice too. Not sure if it will ever come back, but one hopes.

Very good song, wish I'd written it! I concur with the psychedelic comment, very much an early Pink Floyd vibe. A nice tribute, Jesse, very sorry for your loss.

Sounds suspiciously like a goodbye speech. 😦

Pretty smashing rendition, Steve!

Absolutely killed it. Lovely horns and groove, but I'm amazed at the midi guitar. Excellent.

Thanks! I didn't really mean to write a country song, so give me a pass on that one.

Thank you, jack, appreciate you coming back to give it another go!

Thank you Steve!

Thank you!

I hope I've fixed things a bit, thanks, Nigel.
