Dad's Guitar
Echoes of Legacy: Discovering Life's Melodies Through Dad's Guitar
Lyrics
In nineteen seventy something
In the 1970s or around that time
They halted all production
Production of that specific make and model was stopped
Made that make and model hard to find
It became difficult to find that particular guitar
Learned everything he'd play me
He learned and taught me all the songs he knew
From Hard Days Night to Annie
From songs like "A Hard Day's Night" to "Annie"
Didn't know how much I'd miss it at the time
I didn't realize how much I'd miss it back then
I swear I hear his voice like echoes
I feel like I hear his voice in echoes
Runnin' through the wood and metal
Memories of him teaching me through the guitar
Teachin' me 'bout so much more
Lessons about life beyond just playing music
Than pickin' strings and playing chords
Learning more than musical techniques
Yeah, life gets hard and God knows where I'd be
Life can be challenging and uncertain
Without the songs my dad's guitar left in me
The guitar and its songs became a guide for me
I remember them both sayin'
Parents discussing separation for a short time
It's a six month separation
A temporary period of being apart
Love just need space to heal sometimes (sometimes)
Love needs space sometimes to heal
But he never felt that far away
Despite the physical distance, he felt close
Every time I opened up that case
Every time the guitar case was opened, it felt like a connection to him
And found that piece of him he left behind
Discovering a part of his father through the guitar
I swear I hear his voice like echoes
Similar feeling of hearing his father's voice in memories
Runnin' through the wood and metal
Recollections of lessons and teachings through the guitar
Teachin' me 'bout so much more
Learning life lessons beyond music
Than pickin' strings and playing chords
Understanding the complexities of life
Yeah, life gets hard and God knows where I'd be
Uncertain where life would lead without the guitar's influence
Without the songs my dad's guitar left in me
The guitar's songs became a significant part of the person's identity
There's something in the craftsmanship
There's something special in the way it was made
That makes it sing this way
The craftsmanship makes it resonate beautifully
Hope I'll have the master's touch just like him someday
Hopeful to possess the same skill and expertise one day
I swear I hear his voice like echoes
Hearing memories of his father as if echoing
Runnin' through the wood and metal
Recollections of lessons and teachings through the guitar
Teachin' me 'bout so much more
Life lessons imparted beyond music
Than pickin' strings and playing chords
Understanding deeper aspects of existence
Yeah, life gets hard and God knows where I'd be (where I'd be)
Uncertain where life would lead without the guitar's influence
Without the songs my dad's guitar left in me
The guitar's impact on shaping the person's life
Oh (oh), oh (oh)
