Hi Barry you could sing the phone book and I´d be hooked , I loved the story , the production was great your voice just sublime , the strings came in and then the Telecaster ? another  great piece of work Barry thanks for sharing cheers paul 

Just such a super vocal ,I would’ve liked some higher backing vocals but that’s just me super project ..cheers P

Hi Allan, I always really like your lyric`s and songs,  great hook ``Mr together is coming apart ´´ ... I hate make comparisons but it`s got that Ray Davis (Kinks) feel to it which just super,...... proper songwriting, a proper song , properly done  , cheers paul 

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments , as I said this was rather a quickie which is rare these days, so all in all an enjoyable project to do

once again thanks to all Paul...

Hi people here´s the new one rather quickly written and rerecorded a rare occurrence...    as always I´ll enjoy any comments you may have cheers Paul

verse 1

I´m sick and tired of all this waiting , for those better days ,   Sick and tired of my complaining , There`s got to be a better way

Well I`ve been thinking about the things that might help , Those lame excuses I`ve been telling myself

All those lists I wrote are back on that old shelf ,   One step forwards then one more back again

Chorus

Well im looking for a new love, a true love, a snowy white dove to help me find my way , A new heart, a fresh start, a shiny new

car to help me drive away...... There`s no rhyme or reason running from your daemons, You gotta face the facts and look

within......... Stop being ``Oh so Precious´´ cheap plastic and pretensious, Consieted is the 7th deadly sin

verse2

All my friends are out there flying, They`re getting all the breaks What I get is whats left over , not down to my bad mistakes

It´s very easy to point out the who`s to blame As long as its not me in the frame

I´m avoiding that old mirror of shame One step forwards then one more back again

Chorus

chorus outro

I´m searching for a new life , from this daily strife

avoiding the truth , that s gonna cause me some pain

A new plan, thats easyer than, the one that I got

Thats left me out in the rain

Hi Barry I Loved this the first time I heard it and I´m loving even more great great song as always love your voice thanks Paul

Yeah I concur with all of the above , really nice production , horns did the trick wasn’t expecting them..a bonus cheers P

Your vocals are so good , took me in after the first two notes , guitar sound s just fine , the whole production bloody lovely cheers , Paul really lovely

Hi there Treesha   I´m trying to find a musical comparison , but I gave up,  great video loved those bright colours fitted perfectly with the song , great vocals really picked me up cheers paul

Now if only I could play slide half as good as this i´d be rather happy , great track as always nice one cheers P

Yes nice track all right I thought the vocals could have been a little louder , The acoustic guitar panned to the right got a bit too much with time, it worked for the intro maybe if doubled left and right for the verses would have  balanced it out a bit , just my thoughts .nice one cheers P 

Hi Nigel super professional video and song  , loved the guitar tone(what was it?) , vocals are just so super fine lovely production , keeps us on our toes, now I know what to aim for ,, cheers paul

Thanks to all that commented greatly appreciated , this one was a long hard struggle from the writing stage all the way through  just one of those things , no sooner had I posted  this one the next song  shot out from the dark and was  by and large written in a couple of hours (not recorded) so its been a joy to see the next come together so easily (sorry Noynekker no solo in this one either) once again cheers to all Paul

Hi people , here´s a new one a ``Life and soul of the Party´´ these things can go sadly wrong sometimes , that car trip home can be deafening in it`s silence  ..

Well your sparkling eyes hide, those tell tale signs that´s inside

Informing me its time to find our coats, make excuses and go

Was I borìsh ? I thought I was more`ìsh

The Life and soul, The way they gathered around me hanging on every word

chorus
Was I dancing on the ceiling , just super apealing

Standing out from the crowd , Was´nt I delectable,

was`nt I deliriouse, Down right Dandy, and hilarious ,

Well you`re squeezing my hand real tight, as you refuse the traffic

lights The sinking feeling that alls not right,sobers me up in the

 (was too serious )

pale moonlight... Did I get seriouse I thought I was mysterious

oblivirous

Were my jokes too raw did I hit another nerve , hanging on every word

chorus

Bridge

Stop this room from spinning around all over me

flashbacks and blackouts.... shadowing me.........

Ive played this scene before like a film in slow motion

Stop it now and let me sleep...........

Well I wake up but my minds still a maze,

I remember dancing a brand new craze, the music stopped

and everybody stared, I fell down and thats when I fell from grace ,

Was I insulting, was I embarrassing

Were my jokes too raw did I hit another nerve ,

Thanks, Paul! Yep, they are clearer, good ear!  My voice comes and goes these days. The choruses and harmonies  were recorded on a good voice day and the verses were done on a poor voice day. 😁 If a a good day rolls around again I may go back and re-record the verses, but since it's just all for the fun of it, I probably won't. 🤪

Thanks for listening and thanks for your feedback!

Yeah the same here good and bad days with my voice (since a Covid) although I do make sure I do a 15 minute vocal warm up  with a backing tape before I record its makes all the difference cheers P

Hi Barry, another great one, guitars sound sublime , vocals as usual lovely , thanks for sharing , cheers P

Sounds very professional , super vocals , Loved this song,really well put together , just super tone and balance, cheers p

Yep i liked this, some great guitar stuff going on in there , I thought the vocals in the chorus were somehow clearer than in the verses , the hook in the chorus worked really well , from a songwriting point of view  (just my taste) It flew right out from the gate and didn’t take a breather , great song cheers P

Yeah C´mon Barry this is one of your best , always love your voice , so much depth and feeling , (as always) great song so beautifully produced , well done mate  cheers Paul

Didn’t like it at first but it just got better and better , very Zappa-ist and I didnt want it to stop, so yeah great stuff ,cheers P

Yeah this flies ... It has that recorded in a barn sound ..whers´the video? nice one ...

Its really not my bag maan , but that said , bloody vocals were on top form , lots happening on in there really hits the rock spot super solo guitar , (very envious) great track cheers P

I liked the song although it sounded unreal at times , but still rather nice ...

Yep lots in there loved the guitar tones,  sounded real fine , cheers p

Yeah nice song really good clear vocals , I thought maybe the guitars were maybe a bit too far left and right  ..cheers nice one P
