Reverbnation Bio:
Born and raised in Nashville Tn. and exposed to music from day one, it’s no surprise that Mike Oldham is a natural singer/song writer of the finest order. Mike and his three brothers were lined up at the ripe old age of four and given their parts by their talented father who molded their talent into what would eventually take them to the big stages

Mike Oldham hails out of Nashville, Tennessee offers a good beat and good lyrics. You can visit his page on Reverbnation. Country music is about lyric. We like words and sometimes country music is poetry. Mike is refreshing.

If I Could Tell You – W. H. Auden

Time will say nothing but I told you so
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play,
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

There are no fortunes to be sold, although,
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.

The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
There must be reason why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

Suppose the lions all get up and go,
And the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will Time say nothing but I told you so?
If I could tell you I would let you know

Auden’s love poem acknowledges the lack of knowledge and love. It is the quintessential love song of the poet. The sadness of the unanswered questions of meaning beside total love. Love becomes the truth.
