Will Once Was Mine

Eventually I'll use my new music widget to feature something a little more relevant to Bron's Daughter, but I wrote and recorded the song that's up right now over the course of the weekend and thought I might as well share it. It doesn't have much to do with BD or DnD, although the whole lack-of-will conceit easily addresses an important issue in the arduous modding lifestyle. For those of you who are interested, the lyrics are:

Will once was mine,
A faithful will,
A drunken will—
But will it was.

And I’ve tried,
But there’s no will
Like the will
That once there was.

Will gave me love--
Or was it will?
That which it was
Was good enough.

Went away:
A silly will,
A foolish will—
But will it was.

Oh it’s dead, oh it's dead.
I live instead.

Will, I’ve your eyes
But will, you’ve taken
Their old gleam
From me.

I still have your lies—
But will, you have
All the dreams.

Flanger type fx on the backups is odd sounding but hey, it's a thing.

I only got to listen to a little (I'm working) but it is quite nice.

I do really like your song. The oh it's dead bit sounds like Neutral Milk Hotel.
