Lyrics

Stronger Anyway

You could call me a dreamer you may be right
I might struggle to get through the night
I'm plagued with rhymes running in my head
My guitar is sitting' right next to my bed

Whatever I lived I put in to a song
Winning and losing right or wrong
For every lover I have shared a kiss
The moments of pain the moments of bliss

I'm a rag tag man, rough and tumble
What I have learned I learned the hard way
You'll come out better if you face the storm
If not your stronger for trying anyway

The wind may blow knock you off your feet
Sometimes the games end up in defeat
Sometimes it all goes by too fast
Don't worry now this too shall pass

Sometimes worry and troubles will come
I don't know why it passes by some
If there is a reason it escapes me
Like that songs says, we need to let it be

I ain't preaching, there just words to a song
Life can be hard don't waste single day
You'll come out better if you face the storm
If not your stronger for trying anyway
You'll come out better if you face the storm
If not you'll be stronger for trying anyway

I was instantly captivated by the subtle guitar, and the voice only further drew me in. The lyrics and music are emotionally consistent. I love the carefree delivery of the vocalist. Harmonica playing was ok, i thought the lead guitar work could have been better, only because of how could everything else is! the background harmonies gave me chills. reminds me of Dink's Song by Bob Dylan, also performed in the movie Inside Llewyn Davis, but its not derivative, both songs just give me the same feeling of solidarity and hope, along with a sense of being content with your lot in life. i apologize for the length of this review, but the song was excellent.

Love this song! outstanding work. beautiful feel. nice arrangement and instrumentation. This is a really great piece of songwriting.

The vocalist has a genuine "listen to me son" quality to him. engaging... God Bless
