Topic: Almost revisited
Heck - if Dylan can say revisited - so can I 
I kept playing my song Almost and came to the conclusion that it basically sucked without a chorus.
So this morning I wrote a chorus to it.
It's a little long - but what the heck - it is a blues song.
It's just a song about someone who is so angry about giving all they had, and then being tortured by the failure of the relationship.
so here it is in it's eternity, I mean entirety
