due to covid we don't spend much time in town any more. i know we live in a small town but only once have i seen kids sniffing glue or aerosol. i've seen plenty of druggies, i live next door to a few, they're frightening enough.
your story is so heart rending and sad it makes you feel like there is some sanity left in those homeless people, many don't want a permanent home.
you are a very nice person Pete, don't let the world drag you down.     

A very moving and plaintive story and song. Your voice and style are reminiscent of James Taylor. I guess you set you alarm a half hour early every day now?     

Pete, something tells me there's a story you're not telling us?     

Thanks Grah, I use a 24 track recorder and mostly work alone so mixing is simple though I think the vocal is too far forward. Only guitar bass and keyboard on this one.     

just listened to your acoustic version, enjoyed. i caught the Corbin reference, we do differ on that one where we normally agree. a bit more serious than your normal stuff. i don't know how i missed this one as i normally get notifications on my mobile. keep rocking my friend.     

Hi Grah.

great backing track, my friend...but knowing you the words are the important component? Unfortunately they are buried under the rhythm guitar. I'd like to hear your vocal and the lead track brought forward if possible?     

thanks for the ego boost Jim but i'm not so sure about that!
i totally agree that to write you need to write. Cory has his dad to proof read his lines and help shape them into a song, experience counts.     

Sounds like a normal day to me...lol

You left out the part about the top button on the trousers popping off as you get into the car.... happened to me last week! The zip that gets stuck. There's so many last minute "accident's" you could write a part 2 .

I have to say I did lol as I've experienced everything you mention. Haven't played it yet but the words are great.     

Thanks for reading and commenting keepitreal. Believe me it's always much appreciated when other members can be bothered to look and comment.     

you may have noticed that it's only airy-fairy in the first verse which i wrote early morning (about 10 o'clock). second and third verse arrived about twelve hours later, so they aren't so floral or Shakespearean.
as for a voice you can choose between Richard Burton or Peter Sellers, oh no you cant as they're both no longer with us... drat     

i don't know why it came out like that, it was early in the morning, and it was quite frosty and toasty in bed.
