Lyrics

"The State We're In"
(Tim Patterson)

Think about...think about what's been done
And if I turn around, will you stay or will you run
Chorus
We've been blowing right through the days
Like a calendar in the wind
And I'm seeing right through the haze
Yes I'm seeing The State We're In

I think I'll climb up on a mountain, a good place to get your head right
And float around until the evening, and come down around midnight
Chorus
We've been blowing right through the days
Like a calendar in the wind
And I'm seeing right through the haze
Yes I'm seeing The State We're In
Bridge
We're losing sight of the good things in life and we only seem to notice the bad
Time is so sly it can slide right on by you and you finally realize what you had

Chorus/Outro

The Chorus is well written - I REALLY like the visual metaphor of "like a calendar in the wind". Bridge is well done as well. Great job on the instrumentation and the recording. The recording and the mix is well done and the vocalist did a good job capturing the vibe of the song.

Overall - well done on the production of the song.
