This one is kinda about age,the lost age of postal.
i thought I'd left some comments on SoundCloud, but ti seems I didn't ... and I can't remember what my comments were now .... I'm sure it was something about a good song, then I rabbited on about something to do with letters, that was the guts of it ...

Ageism a song I wrote some years ago
It must have been a while ago when we talk about "fellow lockdowners" in the intro ... I'm guessing during pandemic times?
The song was pretty good, had a nice feel to it - but the lyrics were understandably pretty bleak (I guess that was the pandemic influence?), I liked the finishing line "old age will come to you", because I don't think that everyone gets that concept.
Cheers

Re: Rise and Shine (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Heh - nice song, I was thinking about waking up my teenage son, but we were out late last night at a performance, and he came along to support me (and now it's a Sunday) - so happy to let him sleep in for a while ... in my head I'm hearing it with a jug blow, mouth harp and slide guitar, so I'll be interested to see how it sounds outside my head

Hi,

If you get the chance, write the words of the last verse down on here so I can have another listen.
I don't know what else to tell you, it was a story from long ago, we all survived, except the spider and a chain saw that was thrown. The chainsaw kinda stopped, I was glad for that feature, the spider was dead, she no longer moved, but her children came out alive ...
Thanks for listening in!! The recording was just on my phone, and my son took a few happy snaps as well.
Cheers

Hadn't heard this one, but we had the same situation in Australia - breaking out and writing your own songs was a rare thing, but became more common in the 70's and was somewhat of a norm by the 80's ...
