Getting the new Watchfire Music site up was a massive task performed by 7-8 people who all worked their proverbial tails off and are all just whipped.  But we did it.  Now, hopefully I can get back to the original task of making music.

It’s Saturday and I’ve got the studio booked all day.  Finally I’ve got a day to just be in the music.  That oughta turn my weary brain around.

I wrote this song about 15 years ago for a friend who was struggling with some mental challenges.  I wrote it on guitar and recorded it on my CD, Thru Me.  It was always one of my favorite songs to play and sing.

Lately I’ve had an on again off again relationship with my guitar.  WFM has me so busy that I don’t have time to pick it up.

Is this crazy or what?  I created this company among other things as an outlet for my own music, but the daily work of the company prohibits my playing and practicing.  How stupid is that?

Maybe I wrote this song for myself…

Song For A Bro’
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

Hallelujah
We’re goin’ fishin’ in the river of Jordan
Hallelu
We’re gonna dance by the light of the moon
Hallelujah
Gonna shake the shadows off of the mornin’
Hallelu
We’re gonna put the hope back in the bloom

Sometimes up
Sometimes down
All your troubles
Spinnin’ you ’round
Spinnin’ you ’round

Sometimes you
Seem to me
Trapped inside
And fighting yourself
Tryin’ to break free

I’m beggin’ you
Let yourself go
Give it all up
Pressure don’t have any right to
Rule any part of you
Give it all up
Give it all up
Let yourself go brother

Nothin’ is wrong
If ya’ think right
Be a good friend to yourself
You’re all that you need to be
Pressure don’t have any claims on you
So let it all go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

I know you yeah
You’re nothin’ till you prove you’ve made it
I know you
You’re driven and you better be good
Yeah it’s true
Every chance that came along you played it
But I know you
Ya’ think you didn’t do as good as you should

Now who’s to say
What is true
Only God knows
God and you
God and you

Take your time bro’
See it through
Leave your worries
All behind you
All behind you

I’m beggin’ you
Let yourself go
Give it all up
Pressure don’t have any right to
Rule any part of you

Give it all up
Give it all up
Let yourself go brother

Nothin’ is wrong
If ya’ think right
Be a good friend to yourself
You’re all that you need to be
Pressure don’t have any claims on you
So let it all go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

You and I
Have been a long way together
An’ had our trials
If you and I
Could take a little time together
An’ find our smiles
And let this burden go

Hallelujah
We’re goin’ fishin’ in the river of Jordan
Hallelu
We’re gonna dance by the light of the moon
Hallelujah
Gonna shake the shadows off of the mornin’
Hallelu
We’re gonna put the hope back in the bloom
We’re gonna put the song back in the tune
We’re gonna dance by the light of the moon
