Hi fine folks Here's a new original song that is a true story of a trip to Glastonbury Festival many years ago. Lyrics below link Our Lost Weekend Written and performed by Staypress V1 Went down to Glasto back in the day Tried to hitchhike but got lost on the way Got a lift in a stinking van A woman with incense and a hairy man Heavy conversations of mushroom and weed Tongues were loose and minds were freed It took all day to arrive at the site At least we got some daylight Pre-chorus It rained for three days Like it seems to always There's mud and marijuana and music if you wanna Chorus 1 It was our lost weekend With our hippy friends It was our lost weekend I thought it'd never end V2 Popped white lightning - we were led astray Paranoia set in - we were floating away Saw a three legged dog - it was very trippy Danced like a windmill and fell out with the hippy Pre-chorus It rained for three days Like it seems to always There's mud and marijuana and music if you wanna Chorus 2 It was our lost weekend With our hallucogenic friend It was our lost weekend I thought it'd never end Middle bit So the 'frights' got too much and we made our way home Walked for miles in what seemed like a raging cyclone Our minds, not our own, we'd gone round the bend We'd left them on our lost weekend Chorus 3 It was our lost weekend Our lost weekend Our lost weekend It was our lost weekend

looks and sounds like you had a ton of fun making this. More power to your elbow sir

Hi David - I hope you are well. Strings and percussion sound great mate - just those BIG drums that get squashed when they come in. This is an excellent composition - I listened to the end and it kept me listening.

Is it ok if I'm a little bit scared Wookster? The voice really gave me the heebee jeebees. Great synths as ever - I really need to check out the Cherry Audio stuff

thanks so much Shane - you're very kind Thanks Gary

Cheers Freddy - I wanna know who's Batman and who's Robin?

Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed. Cheers me old mucker - hope you are well Craig

loved this song the first time round and I love what you've done with it here. Great video too mate - the combination of stock footage and your gorgeous self are spot on

Some great hi-fi/lo-fi(med-fi?) stuff and a ton of ear candy

cool

I have a nasty feeling this could get stuck in my head very easily. Fun stuff

Sounds great here Gary. Like you say, leave in some of the imperfections - gives it character

Thanks a bunch Bjorn. I hope you are well mate

Hi folks Here's a new original song from The Forum Monkeys. The Forum Monkeys are @Mesh, @Bapu and me. Additional backing vocals by the current Mrs Daryl1968 Lyrics below the link Bitter and Twisted Written, performed and recorded by The Forum Monkeys V1 I used to be happy go lucky Now I'm a grumpy old bloke Now you're lucky if I'm happy I'm not too fond of folk I was the life and soul at parties Drinking 'til the vodka ran dry Now I'd rather sit on my front lawn and moan at the passers by Pre-chorus ...and folks say that I've changed My demeanour is strange Chorus I'm bitter and twisted My smile has desisted My optimism isn't what it used to be My spark was ignited But now it's been slighted Enthusiasm's left my vocabulary V2 So now I'm used to being this way You can take me as I am Old and grumpy is how I'll stay Frankly I don't give a damn Pre-chorus ....and folks say that I've changed My demeanour's deranged Chorus Pre-chorus Chorus to end

Bloody brilliant again.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks so much Tim

Lurves ya mate. I missed our annual get together.
