about

Nearly a decade ago, as part of a song writing group I participated in, I was given a random word out of a hat, and told to go away and in 30 minutes come up with a song. The word I received was 'bottle', and I had the song in just a mere 10 minutes. To this day, it remains one of the best and most loved things I have ever written. This version was recorded in 2019 and we finally got around to putting all the pieces together for it now, late 2020. This is a song about regrets, which most people, if they are being honest with themselves, will relate to.

lyrics

I had a bottle full of dreams
I spilled it on the floor
It stained the carpet blue
And it damaged my front door
As it rolled
It crashed and dented
Everything that got into its way
I had a bottle full of dreams
But the bottle got away

I filled it up with other things I did
I filled it up with wine
I filled it up with more regret
I filled it up with time

I filled it up with other things I did
I filled it up with wine
I filled it up with more regret
I filled it up with time

I had a bottle full of dreams
But the bottle got

Away
