about

“Sometimes” is part of the album-in-the-making, “Sounds Like Home”. All songs on “Sounds Like Home” are created using ordinary objects I found in my home and repurposed into musical instruments.
On “Sometimes” I played a wall-mounted clock, bathtub, acoustic guitars, electric bass guitar, and Indian manjeewera cymbals.

lyrics

· · · · · · · · · · · · ·
Sometimes we feel like we’re alive and on fire
Sometimes we’re weak and tired and tied in a mire

Susan says she’s seen a guy named Jesus
And she says he’s been the real deal, sure
Also she says she’s been seeing angels
And with the power of her mind she cures

Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don’t
Sometimes the things we wish can’t be, and they won’t

Many want our lives go back to normal
Want to wish the nasty bug away
And they think that truth is way too formal
Deeming true what they believe today

Sometimes we feel like we can’t take it no more
Sometimes we see only what lies on the floor

Benny says he wants to travel places
But he doesn’t want obey their rules
Benny believes that all the other ‘races’
Ain’t advanced as him, they’re plain old fools

Sometimes we feel like we’re the only ones here
Sometimes dismiss the needs of blackbird and deer

How come you come to my place ignoring
What I ask of anyone who shows
Be a decent being, kind and honest
And realise you might be wrong, who knows
· · · · · · · · · · · · ·
