A big guitar song for my upcoming ... STUDIOHENGE ... album. The album title, 'Studiohenge', was very kindly 'gifted' to me by my good friend, Jesus Oldman.

Story behind the song
Things are pretty dire throughout the world at the moment...however, we should still, 'count our blessings'... however few we may have left.
Lyrics
Count Your Blessings ... David A Briggs (c) 2023
I'm just a lotus leaf that's floating, floating down the stream.
I get a sinking feeling, like I'm in a waking dream.
I feel so good ?, I can hardly speak, I watch the sun go down.
there's a street of ghosts somewhere in every single town.
but Just up ahead there's a guiding light,
to help us on this winding road.
just sit tight, the guiding light
will help us on our way.
slide guitar solo
Look to the skies, believe your own eyes,
don't listen to your 'leaders', they tell nothing but lies.
We've witnessed a fall, but there's nothing at all,
that we can can do to put it all together again.
but Just up ahead there's a guiding light,
to help us on this winding road.
just up ahead the clear bright light
will help us on our way.
guitar solo:
It's just another big mystery,
at least that's what it all seems to me.
So where's the silver, where's the gold,
where's the truth in what we've been told?
A clear dark sky, quarter moon and stars,
to guide us on our way.
Tomorrow is just another day?
well, that's pretty much all there is to say.
guitar solo: & ad-lib vocalisations.
