Here and Now
The here and now, it’s all we got
You can’t go forward, you can’t turn back
You’re breathing in a moment, you’ll be soon breathing out
Thinking of a time you have already forgotten about
The here and now, it’s all you got
You’re standing still, but the world is not
You’re like that old spotted gum, swinging from limb to limb
Shrinking in the rain and dancing in the wind
So take me where the wind blows, let me feel my skin cold
Hard against the morning light
I’m tired and im lonely and I don’t even know me
Just a creeping shadow of myself
And I can’t see through all this shaking of my past
Familiar voices, from different times
Frozen memories, locked in frames
My hand reaches out, but soul curls up inside
Always on the wrong line between living and staying alive
So take me where the wind blows, let me feel my skin cold
Hard against the morning light
I’m tired and im lonely and I don’t even know me
Just a creeping shadow of myself
And I can’t see through all this shaking of my past
And I don’t want to hear about another false promise
Of somebody I could be and keep your good intentions, for someone who can use them, don’t waste them on me
Cause I’m never going to be, that man you use to see
So take me where the wind blows, let me feel my skin cold
Hard against the morning light
I’m tired and im lonely and I don’t even know me
Just a creeping shadow of myself
And I can’t see through all this shaking of my past
And I can’t let go, no I can’t let go of a man who is already gone

Ian W. Beer VIC, Australia
I have always been inspired by great songwriters, Dylan, Waits, Springsteen and Elvis Costello and after hearing Ryan Adams
Heartbreaker, I was up and running, setting up my first home studio and rediscovering my love for the acoustic guitar.
As with any journey there are bumps and cracks along the way. New single, Midnight Train releases Feb 12, 2024
