Nothing Ever Changes
Nothing ever changes
it all stays the same
we try to rearrange it
but it's only a game
that we play in the night
when our eyes are closed tight
and we're deep in a dream
in a world that seems
to be better than real
we ask the same questions
we make the same mistakes
expect different outcomes
and we think we're awake
but it's late at night
and our eyes are closed tight
and we're deep in a dream
in a world that seems
to be better than real
old men still talk
send us off to war
young men still die
and we wonder what for
but we go to sleep at night
and our eyes are closed tight
and we're deep in a dream
in a world that seems
to be better than real
will we one day awake
will we open our eyes
will we see things for what they are
and not a disguise
and will we know what to do
will we know what to do

doodle ee do

How about rearranging the lines like:
Nothing ever changes
it all stays the same
we try to rearrange it
but it's only a game
we play in the night
When we're deep in a dream
Still our eyes closed tight
in a world that may seem
to be better than real
Oops, I just noticed the link so I hadn't listened to it before I suggested the rearranging.
(Or you added that while I was typing the change.)
I like arpeggios in guitar songs. Very pretty.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
Hi Ken,
I appreciate the suggestion . . . . and I understand where you're coming from . . . . . . . but I'm not one to always put a great deal of importance on rhyming scheme. Sometimes I actually try to break it on purpose! Still, it's food for thought and your input is valued.

I am not a singer, nor a guitarist
Neil, it really is about time you edited that Soundclick page!!!!!
This is beautiful. The voice, the fingerpicking, the lyrics all blend in wonderfully together. IMO, one of your very best. Great stuff, mate!!!
:D :D :D

Thanks Vic,
Coming from you, it means a lot.
Neil
I must agree with our friend Mr. Lewis.
IMO, one of your very best. Great stuff, mate!!!
I like the way you push the limit of your vocal range on the line:
when our eyes are closed tight
It almost breaks on the word "tight" but only enough to add emotion.
Excellent
John
Hi Neil :D
Nice song!
I thought it had a real ethereal quality to it.... and at times, it had a wonderful lullaby feel to it.
Which is cool, considering the dream world that you invite us to visit :wink:
And I have to comment on your Disney song while I'm here....
I was really impressed with that one.
Especially the intensity of information on the subject.... Deep!
I think it appealed to my Scorpionic nature 8)

cheers

Neil, this is beautiful.
Loved the doodle dees, too :wink:
After hearing your songs (as well as Vic's and some other's around here) I always am so in awe (and embarrassed about my own poor playing :lol: ).
Thanks for this great song!
Cheers,
