Glass Half Full (collaboration Big Al) by MrBouzouki published on 2019-06-27T15:09:02Z Every now and then you need to get back to your roots musically, and for me it's the blues. Being able to write an effective blues song, with minimal instrumentation, is an important songwriting skill. Well I reckon this one is effective, thanks largely to the inspiring acoustic blues guitar playing by my old SoundCloud mate, Big Al (Blues-Meister par excellence). I heard this backing of Al's a a while ago and I've finally got around to putting down a vocal take that does it justice. Please make sure you check out Al's music, especially if Blues is your thing. soundcloud.com/user-922396415/tracks Lyrics Glass Half Full Staring at a glass, half full Trying to drown my pain Since you wen'na away Never understood you girl, And all those tears you cried, Crying in the night You were crying in the night Take another drink, it helps To keep me rolling on Down this lonely road Never understood you girl, and how my words could hurt Hurting you everyday Hurting you everyday Hurting you Have another sip, it burns Just like the pain I feel Deep in this heart of mine Never understood you girl, and what you meant to me, until you walked away until you walked away Still staring at a glass, half full And wondering where you are And how far away How far away from me Ohh so far away Far away from me Oooo oooo oooo oooo Ohhh ohh ohhh ohh ohh I'm still staring ...
