What's a People Do? by English Minor (II) published on 2023-06-23T17:58:18Z “What’s a People Do?” All we carried precious To erect our paradise Seems to lack the hardiness To meet the present trials For the damage is obvious To all with level minds And the laborers plenteous Who might their hands supply When a foundation cracks its full span What’s a people do? When their old tools fail in their hands What’s a people do? Not for want of meetness Does a hammer miss its mark Nor for want of handiness If sturdy from its start But the hands of the duteous Are weak from leisure’s idle And their skill but dubious When untaught for such trials When a foundation cracks its full span What’s a people? When their old tools fail in their hands What’s a people do? --- Music by Corey Ball Lyrics by August Lysy Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Lammbone Liking this... reminded me of: https://funnytimes.com/19990407/ 2024-04-29T20:30:28Z Comment by SOUND23 Sounds ..vocal.. really good! …🌍☮︎👍🐞🍀2024 2024-03-01T21:09:41Z Comment by Lilli A. great sound -like it 2024-02-28T16:22:39Z Comment by Jeff Roberts oh I'm way to late to this party -- one of your very best here with such cool guitars and captivating lyrics & vocals, but fear not everything is fine...no really 2024-02-26T16:09:42Z Comment by Paul Haas One English minor to another...your music is so fun! 2024-01-17T17:46:50Z Comment by Francois Cormier love the subtle saxy backing for the last act of this short-but-sweet think-piece. overall, a lovely construction with (hopefully?) your own hands! 2023-09-24T16:07:24Z Comment by De Parrot Very interesting , we can hear some dissonances which fits very well with the overall composition. 2023-09-12T09:25:56Z Comment by BRIXTON ROAD perfect music and lyrics 2023-08-11T06:48:16Z Comment by Steve Low The chords low slung and seventhoid are the appropriate background to this futuristic probably post AI world where the soft handed civilisation hits another obstacle: connects with the rumbling anxiety of today 2023-07-04T18:35:41Z Comment by Jonathan Beckenstein You pose a deep and perhaps unansweable question, and you make it sound great in a way that is inviting and yet slightly unsettling. 2023-06-24T13:54:32Z Comment by Bruce Avery Whatever a people do, it's not enough. Enjoyed your "coining" of a few words here....plenteous, meetness, duteous. Or maybe I'm just not educated enough.... 2023-06-23T23:17:53Z Comment by Unbuilt Boy Love this, great sound 2023-06-23T19:43:00Z
