"Let me Take my Time" lyrics from "The Great Divide" album
Tired of cringing from the discordant notes of 2020, singer-songwriter Brett Conlin changed the arrangement and wrote his own soundtrack for the year that never was.
The five-song album, called “The Great Divide," was inspired by an experience he shared with millions of Americans he never met, each song illustrating the hopes and dreams of friends, family and countrymen whose lives changed alongside his during the 2020 pandemic.
Conlin's album is the lament of all of them, broken down into woeful tones and pleading verses that don't even pretend to answer any of the questions they ask. The tracks are performed only with an acoustic guitar and Conlin's melancholy vocal delivery.
