Dojang (acoustic)

from Un by Painter Fingers

/

about

The first version of this song came to be when I was recording genres randomly and the wheel landed on "electronica." As of spring 2021, that song is my most popular on Spotify.

My wife, Phoebe, requested an acoustic version, one the doesn't aim so specifically for one audience, but just presents the song in its organic form.

That's what we have here: a straight-up, just-the-bare-bones version of "Signs on the Wall of the Dojang" --a song about remaining patient as life presents challenges that tether you to the indoor ecosystem that is the home you've made, keeping a positive outlook and maintaining perspective.

lyrics

It's like bluest sky
On the brightest day
But I can't go out
No I gotta stay
Inside

Feeling like a statue
Sitting here trying not to decay
Will patience turn the tide?

If you don't sit still
Then you can't heal
But if you don't move a muscle
Then you can't feel
If you don't sit still
Then you can't heal
But if you don't move a muscle
Then you can't

Did you see the sign
On the wall of the dojang
It's not your first kick
It's your mindset
Remember good times
When we all sang
What you give is
What you give is what you get

You've got to let yourself
Feel good sometimes

The figureheads of every company
Saying this is not the year
That we envisioned
It's not anyone's fault
It's not easy
Living in the wake of these decisions

Today we learned a new lesson
Looking back on what it all meant
Life has new lessons for us now
They just look a little different
Today we learned a new lesson
Looking back on what it all meant
Life has new lessons for us now
They just look a little different

Did you see the sign
On the wall of the dojang
It takes patience
To make home a home
Remember good times
When we all sang
I promise you
Like When In Rome
I promise you

You've got to let yourself
Feel good sometimes
Yeah
You've got to let yourself
Feel good
