🎸 The House That Raised Me — Blues & Spire | Alex's Wandering Songs

🎸 The love you never spoke was building me — thank you, father, for the load you carried alone. Alex Weathers has been playing guitar on the road for over twenty years — one town, one story, one song at a time. 🏚️ Motif: Renovating his old hometown house, a son uncovers the quiet, unspoken sacrifices his father made for the family — a lifetime of devotion carried without a word. 🎵 Style: Roots Rock Blues · 88 bpm · D major 🎵 Lyrics I'm fixing up the old house where I grew Peeling back the wallpaper to find the things I never knew Every worn-out tool still hanging on the wall Tells a story of a man who gave his all I was too busy chasing what I thought I lacked While he carried every worry on his back Oh, thank you, father, for the load you carried alone For every quiet sacrifice I never fully knew I'm walking through these rooms and finally I can see The love you never spoke was building me Dust in the sunlight, the old floorboards creak Finding all the places he was too proud to speak A jacket that he wore through every bitter cold A whole life of devotion that this house still holds Oh, thank you, father, for the load you carried alone For every quiet sacrifice I never fully knew I'm walking through these rooms and finally I can see The love you never spoke was building me I understand now, I understand... Your hands built this house, and they built the man... ⚠️ Original song, written and composed by Alex Weathers.
