Beware - single by Brett Schieber

"Beware"
A few years back, I tried to find a friend that I had lost touch with. There was no particular reason why we weren't communicating - just the distance and laziness, I suppose. So, I looked for him on social media and found his page had a bunch of "RIP" comments on it and I found out that he had passed away a week before I tried to find him. I felt terrible about this. As I always do to make myself feel better, I played and wrote music. This is one of the songs that came out of that time. I always liked it because it meant a lot to me, but was never confident with the chorus. I strived to make the words more important and the ones that seemed to want to go into the song just didn't hit me with the weight that I had hopes of, so I had looked at the song as incomplete until now.
Not long ago, suddenly out of the blue, a friend of mine tragically committed suicide. It was an awful shock that nobody saw coming. I still can't even believe it. As always, I turned to music to comfort me and I sang this song to myself. This time around, the words in the chorus made complete sense to me......

The B-side, "All Things Must Pass", is originally a George Harrison song and is one of my favorite lyrics ever. They're so simple, but precise and perfect. These words always pick me up when I'm going through a difficult time.

The cover? That's my dog, Lexi, walking through a trail on the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta last Fall.
