Additionally:
Nearly two months to the day, when I knew something was wrong and these words came to me so used them at BandLab - then, he passed on 05Dec2022. - Just didn't expect it, but it was that bad, knew, didn't know - as he sort of tried to explain not believing it himself is why, and so it goes.

lyrics

Life Walls (c) 2022 ustaknow (alias)

Calm the sadness and play the tunes
While I welcome you home
The only stones are here, in these foundation walls
All your memories there, among the fumes

Let me come when you call
Let me go and not fall
While I welcome all home
Within these walls

All the guns are loaded, and pantries filled
Familiar clothes in the closet and favorite stuff boxes
Your spot, your chair, your light is there
Fires lit and dogs, waiting near

Forever is there, each moment passes
Calm peace feels eternal, like the verge of sleep
Effective warmth, in it's cool breeze
Hums silent waves, silence need

Let me come when you call
Let me go and not fall
While I welcome all home
Within these walls

You know this ghost is me, I came an went
With all my dents from need
I never found what I had, and yet too
Alone is the safe tomb, no pain or want to feed
Life a book, you only read once, like picking a weed

It's as generic a backing as one can get and use. So, all the Engineering is - me.

Me using, (all Guitar work - me), *Recording King Acoustic, and *Zuwei Custom Shop Tele-style, "Franken-T" of all sorts of parts (wonderful China! :) ) - and then my *rewiring-isms in it's controls.
- All straight into mixer, dry, SM 57 Mic vocal.
- Using, Audacity 2.3.3 DAW.
- Mixed mono tracks, broken out *re-rendered to mono L/R, from the sudo-stereo daw tracks.
