For anyone on JPF that remembers me, they know I don't really "DO" production. I started here doing acapella songs. I eventually learned to play guitar and record on a Tascam eight track. I wrote this song in FAWM (February Album Writing Month and YES I wrote 14 songs in 28 days and earned my trophy!!)

I recorded a drum track off of my son's CASIO keyboard and played a guiro and my guitar....pretty sophisticated for someone like myself LOL!! I'm mostly a writer/lyricist. I am working on improving the production in the studio on this song for my next cd (Flowersong in 2024). See what you think, it was a quick write to a prompt of Show Horse Names.

SWEPT AWAY ON SOUNDCLOUD


Swept Away
by Tammy Jann
© 2023

There's nothing to hold onto
and no where to run
I had thought it was day
but someone stole the sun

there were maps and some plans
to show me the way
everything disappeared
in only one day

chorus
what is this landscape
why does it feel fake
I thought I knew this place

I never saw signs
to stay in the lines
who knows what I will find

it should alway matter
when eden shatters
and your dreams are swept away

try to keep moving forward
but it's new terrain
thought this was the right road
but I'm alone again

what if I double back
will i get anywhere
no matter how far I go
I find despair

Chorus

Bridge
set my feet into the ground
endure the waves, I won't be swept away

Chorus
