This is another song off the Tireless Effort album. This is my personal favorite of my songs from that period of time in 2014. In a lot of ways this song still expresses how I feel and experience the world. In many ways I fall short of the changes I want to see in the world, but I keep reaching in my own way.
I perform vocals and the majority of the guitar on this track, but the Claptony solo is put on display by my cousin, Zack Bishop. I think that solo really fits on top of the more abrasive playing at the end and believe it makes the song sound much better as a result. He also provides backing vocals which I think gives the song a fuller sound.
All in all, it’s not a perfect track. I had a lot of trouble performing with someone else around and made many mistakes, but I am happy with the end result and still play this song on occasion. I hope you listen and enjoy this amateur outing.

Instead I woke in a bed of sorrow
Blackened eyes absorbing all the light
I’ll try to hold my head up high
I won’t give up until you’ve given in
I’ll reach for the stars and do it again
I can’t be content with life just the way it is
I’ll keep on working til I see some changes
I wish more was expected
From those who have infected
Society is failing rapidly
Culture is still degrading
I won’t give up until you’ve given in
I’ll reach for the stars and do it again
I can’t be content with life just the way it is
I’ll keep on working til I see some changes
Bridge/Solo
I won’t give up until you’ve given in
I’ll reach for the stars and do it again
I can’t be content with life just the way it is
I’ll keep on working til I see some changes
