about

"This Old World" by Lizanne Knott is a whimsical, happy song to lift spirits for the times at hand. The bluesy, fun tune with a nostalgic vibe is sure to make your toes tap, fingers snap, and leave a smile on your face. Written and recorded on the spur of the moment, Knott recalls, "I was sitting on my back porch with my guitar, watching an incredibly beautiful sunset with a gentle breeze blowing through the trees and I started to reflect about the way I've wandered through my life, careless and haphazardly at times. And here now, with everything seeming so uncertain, it occurred to me that this world is a survivor. We're all, together, spinning on this ball we call earth for an indefinite amount of time - and well, that's okay."

lyrics

The sun goes down
In a kaleidoscope display
I’m dusting off my shoes
And I’m shaking off the day

Crescent moon is rising
And the trees begin to sway
I’m dancing with myself
And this old world’s okay

I wear my heart
In a tear on my sleeve
Stitch it up inside
When I think it’s time to leave

You might think you might know me
But I beg to disagree
‘Cause I live in a movie
No one else can see

Someday I’ll find
Another way to go
I’ll turn another door
Lord, I will take another road

Until that day arrives
I’m gonna let that movie play
The stars are out tonight
And this old world’s okay
