Lyrics

Insecurity
©Jeffrey C. Ashbaker 7-2014

It comes on when the night is turning
It comes on when your heart is slow
It happens without a warning
And always when the light is low
It slips into your mind, no questions asked
Consuming all your time with the demons from the past

--- Chorus ---
It always seems to know
That you can't let it go
It finds its way inside
Until it makes you cry out loud
Let me be (And I'm not free) ...from Insecurity
-----------------
-Intro Break-

You wake up in a world of worry
You wake up in a pool of sweat
And everything you do is hurried
But nothing is completed yet
And everybody knows the answer, but no one will tell
And you think it's such a deep dark secret, your own living hell

-Repeat Chorus-

--Bridge--
Indecision uncertainty, hesitation anxiety
I got fooled again, I've been tricked
I'm just hoping I'm, I'm not a lunatic
And yeah, I could be right, or I might be wrong
But either way it's the end of the song

Shades of Neil Diamond ! Loved the backing , clever lyrics to end the song .

Great contemporary folk tune. Everything works, balance, vocals backing tracks, message/lyrics.

Really polished arrangement.
Strong vocal.
Nice slide guitar.

very smooth instrumentation, well played! nice guitar and fiddle work, mando too? although this may be more country than folk IMO. like the mix, though lead vocal is rough, the harmony when it enters is quite nice. the lyrics are competent.
