3rd Act from Hunter's Heart by The Lucky Shots
The prompt was: "Third Act Problems", and I started to write a song based on that idea. I was on vacation and playing a new guitar, and the music came out a lot brighter than the theme. Upbeat music, downbeat lyrics... cool, right?
But I realized the lyrics were getting far too depressing, and singing them over and over, I was getting depressed. So I decided to invert the whole situation, turning the problem into a solution, and going through the lines one by one to make them pretty much the opposite of how it all started. Upbeat music, upbeat lyrics... as it turns out, that works well too!
Life is short, but long enough to have many new beginnings.

Lyrics
I was once like you
Didn’t matter what I tried to do
Couldn’t make it work
Without acting like a jerk
Still step in it quite often, tell the truth
A hazy curtain hanging in the sky
The light across the water undefined
Paradise awaits
And this might be the place
A perfect sunset landscape come to life
Feeling good and wasting time
I’m just being purified
Everyone can see that there’s a way
to get from you to me
So don’t turn back
Everyone can see the answer coming in the third act
An island is surrounded by the sea
A clearing is surrounded by the trees
A space that is too wide
To be reached by what’s outside
A picture being painted by degrees
Feeling good and wasting time
I’m just being purified
Everyone can see that there’s a way
to get from you to me
So don’t turn back
Everyone can see the answer coming in the third act

What does it mean to be "Lucky"?
If you consider the vastness of things, just the fact that you experience even one average day of your life seems pretty darn lucky. Even the bad days are really secret gifts, hiding their joy like clouds in front of the sun.
“Music is one of the ways I remind myself of how lucky I am every day”
