about

I wrote this song after noticing something odd. I was walking across a parking lot next to a wooded area and I looked at the trees as I walked. The perspective made it look like the trees in front were moving to the left and the ones in back were moving to the right. It shocked me to think I'd never noticed that before in my life - I was 57 and it was new to me!

lyrics

another day in the very familiar
something's off
the movement seems atypical out here
unexpected
zigs are now zagging and zags are now zigging
all together

ch
these old scenes, these old eyes
have come to realize
these new sights, these new dreams
emerge between the seams

deep down in the comfortable repetition
changes arise
all the things i used to think i knew for sure
challenge my view
the same is now different and different is the same
or is it me

br
take a look at what you know is true
and underneath that order is you
you bring all the chaos to the peace
then the quiet and solitude cease

new eyes on the old scenes
new parts on the old machines
new shades of the old greens

about

chris hardy world Edgefield, South Carolina

I write songs myself. I record them all myself. I play all the instruments (including real actual drums) myself. I sound like a band yet I am just one little guy. I do everything myself - the only job you have is to listen and enjoy! Isn't that easy?
