Resurrection of the Great

V1
Soft sunlight breaks trough the blinds
Casting golden stripes amongst dots and lines
Patterns on lines crafted for me to reveal
Beautiful harmonies in wood and steel

V2
As fingers past performance surpass
Bringing life to the pages created in the past
Rewards of harmonies generously awaits
When stepping inside the minds of the great

Chorus
Amongst these lines, as pages turn
Their souls from death to life return
Minds are melting with greatness and zeal
Becoming one in a body of wood and steel

V3
As harmonies softly emerge from the hole
The notes on the lines find their soul
And as the fingers suspends above the strings
The echo in their honor softy rings.

Chorus
Amongst these lines, as pages turn
Their souls from death to life return
Minds are melting with greatness and zeal
Becoming one in a body of wood and steel

Yes, I actually wrote about all the sheets of classical sheet music I have laying around in my room. And, No, I do not have steel strings on my classical guitar, but the phrase “Wood and Steel” sounded better than “wood and nylon” :-)
All you Taylor owners out there should know where
the phrase “Wood and steel” comes from.
The rhyme pattern may be a little forced.
Suggestions are appreciated as always.
Blessings. Olav

Yes the rhymes are a little forced, but you make up for it! I really like the song! It is very descriptive and flows very well!

Good job and keep up the good work!

I agree on enchanting. :D

really a nice piece, olav and btw good to read something from you again;)

oh hang on---just noticed something i didn't see first read-throughs. did you see that the ending of the last line of your first verse is like the one of the last line of your chorus? deliberate? maybe you would not mind changing the end of verse1? for me it would improve the song.

quick suggestion: Beautiful harmonies in a wooden seal ...?

I really like this one. I totally relate to the idea of giving new life to the music of the old masters no matter what the style of music. They were the reason for the music today.

Olav,

Great! I've alway thought " Wood and Steal "was a great way to describe a guitar. A little poetic license is allowalbe
