about

I have a friend who lights a candle to say goodbye to a lost love. This album is a collection of songs which were written to say goodbye to my lost loves. This Old Guitar was penned in 2014 to help me sort through that which was left of my emotions for my girlfriend of two years and friend of several more. It was one of the hardest and most confusing break-ups I ever endured. Still, I have love for her, and so I sing of the emotions that remain with me, 6 years since we were last together.

lyrics

This Old Guitar
Words and Music by Scott Ibex

Wish I could walk a lifetime in the love we had
Wish our love could cross the ocean of the good and bad
Why’s it so hard, for expectation to float away
As I sit here 6 years gone shedding tears about what you’d said… to

This old guitar, it’s seen a thousand broken dreams and sung them without needs or wants
This old guitar, it’s been through sadness, madness, gladness, and whoever the hell you are

I wish you could see, the beauty of the love you claimed
Instead of your shrink’s idea of who’s to blame
If only things, could have been different, if only time
But I sit here 6 years gone still crying for the love we had… through

This old guitar, it’s seen a thousand broken dreams and sung them without needs or wants
This old guitar, it’s been through sadness, madness, gladness, and whoever the hell you are

If we could walk together, one more time,
If love could sail, the oceans between those fights,
Why’s it so hard for expectations to float away,
When I know you told me not to bring them, to Italy…

And so I sing, and so you cry
And so I try, to accept, your alibi,
And so I sink, beneath the pain
With one more prayer, this one last time… to

This old guitar, it’s seen a thousand broken dreams and sung them without needs or wants
This old guitar, it’s been through sadness, madness, gladness, and whoever the hell you are
This old guitar, when I die may it live on for another artist’s heart
This old guitar, it’s been through ocean deep emotion and it don’t judge me by my scars... this old guitar.
