Old Friends and Old Love – original song
I wrote this song “I Can’t Stand Still” in 2016 when several old friends had suddenly passed away. I wanted to acknowledge the loss, but also to remember the days when we were young and savoring life.
Thanks for listening and for any comments. Last edited by Lkristians; 10-25-2020 at 03:00 PM. Reason: Embedded video for you

I enjoyed the song - the lyrics seem heartfelt and it's obviously special memories that you had to write this song. Very bittersweet, but that's life, isn't it? The melody captures that feeling well.

Nice song and nice sentiment - expressed in an upbeat and positive manner. Decent recording too!

Thank you Wrighty
It's nice to get compliments on my lyrics - not what I have ever considered the strong suit in my songwriting I was actually thinking that comments would focus on chords and melody - shared territory in an acoustic guitar forum. I'm particularly happy with the spare chord inversions and simple finger picking I used in this song - instead of sticking with standard chord forms. Again, thanks for listening. I'll post another song in a few weeks.
