about

This song mixes an unusual rock groove with a message of redemption. Featuring lead and slide guitars, a big chorus with harmony vocals, a bit of an Irish fiddle playing a slip jig, an extended coda with a gospel choir, this song takes you on a journey. You might write it in 18/8 time signature.

lyrics

Winds of December
(words and music by Sam Pointer)

When the walls caved in this morning
On the house of my regard
I didn’t even get a warning
I didn’t know it could be so hard

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe today
The winds of December
Will blow my troubles away

When I felt the pavement crumble
Beneath the feet that lead me astray
With more a stagger than a stumble
In more a free fall than a sway

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe today
The winds of December
Will blow my troubles away
Away
Away

When the sun bursts through the storm clouds
And the wreckage is cast aside
I will rise above the fallout
And on the good winds I will ride

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe today
The winds of December
Will blow my troubles away

Maybe tomorrow (maybe now)
Maybe today
The winds of December
Will blow my troubles away

(Away) the winds of December
(Away) gonna blow my blues away
(Away) the winds of December
(Away) gonna blow my troubles so far away
(Away) the winds of December
(Away) gonna blow my blues away
(Away) the winds of December
(Away) they’re gonna blow my blues away
