I like the guitar work - great picking.
It was a little difficult for me to hear some of the lyrics though. Can you post them.

Sure Jim,here they are,don`t really know what the hell this is all about
just a bunch of words i put together.i think it goes kinda like this.
The man in the middle said i`m not here
and you know that lifes not fair
so bugger off
sling ya hook
go complain some where else
cause it won`t get better hanging round
end of the day you`re in the ground
wonder if the journey was worth the while
but you know you just gotta smile
the person next to you they don`t care
so bugger off sling ya hook
go complain some where else

Yeah Pete i guess you have noticed the empty shops and cafes around town.
Thought it would make a good subject for a poem.
Hopefully there will be a light in the future for these business owners.

Topic: isolation blues (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
In NZ we are well out of lockdown.
But for a few weeks we were in isolation.
I wrote this song and asked a whole heap of people to cover it
as i thought we all had time on our hands.
I said for every cover i received i`d donate $50 to a foodbank.
The only covers i got were from Peatle and Kiki Jan so i donated $250 in thanks for their efforts.

the BOX pt 2
They had been under siege now for several months
the freezing weather had kept the invaders at bay
but that was about to change,as spring had arrived
warming the invaders optimism
the defenders could see holding out for more than a few more weeks
unlikely,as food had long since run out along with the mens health and will.
their leader decided to dispatch his most loyal man with the BOX.
being the leader he had inherited the BOX from generations gone before.
he had no intention of losing it on his watch.
the plan was to create a distraction so the courier could slip through the
invaders line under the cover of darkness.
the precious cargo was to be buried in their spiritual place,little knowing that
the contents would be explosive and world changing in many hundred years time.

Topic: The BOX (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
this started life as a lyric,but quite quickly turned into something else.
it`s not a poem and not sure it would work as a lyric?
THE BOX
on the 3rd day of digging in the south field
i came upon something buried deep in the ground
it was a BOX,thinking little of it, i loaded it on my truck
later that day as i headed home
the ride home had dislodged some of the dirt
so by the time i unloaded it,it`s shape was starting to appear
curiosity getting the better of me
i decided to investigate further
as more dirt came away i soon realized this was no ordinary box
on the sides were what appeared to be some strange carvings
also some painting,colours dulled by the passing of time
as i brushed and cleaned, my excitement rose
selecting a tool i decided it was time to try and open the lid
the metal on the clasp and hinges was not like any metal i had seen before
although it must have been very old it still held the shine of new
i inserted the tool and leveraged the lid
after much creaking and groaning the lid finally gave
sunlight flooded in,in what must have been for the first time in many many years
i removed the lid and looked inside
