Thanks Grah. The chorus isn't that big in my original recording. In actual fact it's the flanger I added during the mix and conversion to MP3.
I write all my songs on acoustic, they only become electric during the recording process. As I said...that is a cut down version more or less live. Bass, drums and keyboard added later. I may upload that at a later date.
Thanks for listening and commenting.
How are things with you up north? Hope you're not in the floods?     

One hell of a mix there my friend; proverbs, sayings and biblical quotes!!! All mixed up with a raunchy, punk rock beat....total metalizer.
There is still some bile in your writing and I sense some regret? It works great. When will you be putting it on SoundCloud?     

i totally agree with BGT, never go by someone else's say-so or a glitzy ad, try before you buy and if you have any doubts...get a Taylor     

Beautiful lament Jeff. On a brighter note, last Saturday I met an old school friend, yeah 50 years after finishing school! We talked and he told me about another of our school mates that has passed away. It got me to thinking of friends I've made and lost in my short 68 years. They tell you that life is short so make the most of it then they demand taxes!
Sorry for your loss my friend.     

PS, great recording.

very well written and passionate but also quite politically motivated, so i shan't comment further     

The rising sun of Japan has caught us all by surprise! They've beaten S.A. in they're last meeting, fingers crossed they do again. They've given us some of the best rugby in the tournament so far.

We also have CCTV in our drinking establishments, they just hide their phones under the table!

Any singer worth his salt will learn all the words and music to tens if not hundreds of songs. Trouble is....you mess up the words once so you stick your own line in and ten years later you're still singing the same line, done it many times.     

Hey Peatle, a double tracked rap? i came off line the other night to find my granddaughter, her mother (my daughter) and Ann (my misses) all heads bowed, thumbs going like the clappers on their mobiles!

Your song is too real my friend. But as usual you've captured a moment in time and slapped it in our faces so we all say; " oh yeah". what's next?
I have a friend, his phone rings in the other room and he talks to his watch!!!! And he's in his 60's too, but he still can't work his email account..lol

Great work. Keep 'em coming     

thanks Jerome, I'll have to download Reaper again as it didn't work very well last time so I dumped it. and I'm always out of tune, but don't tell anyone?     

the last time the hairs on my body stood up on end like that was the first time i listened to abbey road. truly amazing.     

excellent choice of topic, and as you'd expect i have a lot of opinion on the subject, or do i?
to begin; i write songs for myself not other people. if other people enjoy my humble offerings then that's great. i've written hundreds of songs and most of them are complete and utter rubbish. one or two are good, possibly very good.
as for changing people's moods or attitudes...well Lennon did it. he also wrote silly meaningless songs; glass onion, i am the walrus, maybe even lucy in the sky with diamonds? all great songs but not really literary masterpieces?
did disco music change attitudes? for the most part it's got to be a NO! "you can ring my bell"?
i wont even mention the "new romantics" waste of time.
i heard someone say that rap is all about politics??? no just sex drugs and shooting people...am i being too controversial?
i guess i'm just "wounded, old and dangerous" well not dangerous (Ian Anderson's words)

in conclusion; write what makes you happy, or to get stuff off your mind. if you make it you'll get rich (hopefully) if not.....
