Well done, enjoyed the guitar work, great tones, and love the chord choices! The song kept me interested and you did a good job on the vocals.

I feel your pain, I had COVID and lost voice too. Not sure if it will ever come back, but one hopes.

Hi Kevin , that Covid (Lite) the second time around wasn’t too terrible in its self but the after-effects were a disaster for my voice  , I was very I rang  the ear ,nose and throat doctor I got an appointment straight away and he said that my left vocal chord wasn’t working at all  , , then I got CT scan within three days ,went back to the E,N, T, doctor in the same week only to be told ahaa the vocal cord is now moving again just stay calm and it`ll come back at some stage give a couple of months  about three ..Ive got my voice back and it is improving week by week  so don’t give up hope  cheers paul

Hi folks , Thanks for the lovely comments  once again I`ve been absent...I  took a trip to Prague to try some beer and pork knuckles both were scrummy so My voice wasn’t at the top of its game on this one after a spell of covid (second time)  my voice just stopped working for well over three months I just couldn’t get any tone out of it at all , its still not as is was but that’s to  do with my age so I´ll have to live with it , thanks once again , not sure what ``far means´´ ? but anyways it is what it is cheers everyone ..--nice to be back amongst friends ..... Paul

Hi guys, I haven’t been doing much lately so here´s my new soft rock number hope you enjoy it....cheers P

Hi N , Yeah thanks for the comments  It was a quick one this one but towards the end of recording I went down with ``long covid´´? or something and I lost my voice for over four weeks and its still not 100% but that's probably to do with age , no voice no songs so  I´ll have to see how it all pans out ,I´m not a good enough musician to do instrumentals , I could play the spoons though cheers P

Hi chaps , well summer break is behind us so its time to go back into the studio and write .here´s my latest offering ``Simple man´´

https://www.bandlab.com/track/09f87ff158b7e911bcd02818789a0161_5619bb5aeb91ef1184746045bd375453?revId=5519bb5a-eb91-ef11-8474-6045bd375453

1. You make your life so complicated, getting lost in

that maze in your head, to give your life some meaning

…...But I´m just a simple man......

Your constantly grasping and searching,

every trend you think....that makes your life whole

… turn around, your looking down....

......... upon a simple soul ......

I see you walking right on past me,

Obsessing with the mirror in your hand

you sit alone with your fake tan

…... I´ll rather stay a solitary man.......

chorus

You always need change, change for changes sake

Doesnt matter how much deeper in debt, it takes what

it takes

But you just crave change, changes to pass the test

Convince yourself that your sitting on top, way

above of the rest

Shubby doo whopp your self obsessed, Overrated,

2.

You rate a seven point five, but youre really just

a three point four, but you want to date a movie star

.….But I´m just a passable guy baby.....

Youre constantly making comparisons, with every

girl you see is deemed a threat,

bigger eyes, smaller thighs

….Oh well baby she just scare you to death...

chorus

Shubby doo whopp your self obsessed,Overrated,

Bridge

Give me a country girl in ripped t-shirt and jeans

Got more to say than what you find in those glossy

magazines...She got more in her head than just

peroxide bleach... Than drinking shots and

...***** on the beach...

 ...Solo...Outro....

Wow that got my head spinning for a while , very original great sound super song , I ´m going back for another listen.... for the third time...cheers nice one

Thanks , Steve, Lynn, Björn,and Nigel your comments , tips and encouragement really spurs me on , this song is a perfect example of how I sometimes write lyrics in pictures (in my minds eye) the whole song is a short film in my head so it makes it rather easy for me to write and enjoy, I really do like these musical visions when they  occur , so I´ll add a last verse clean up some mistakes and post it sometime this year,  it`s summer her in Austria so I don't have much time in the studio: cheers all  Paul

Paul, I think your new mix has a bit more polish, making it smoother overall.  The vocals still have depth of feeling, which is the major highlight of this song, besides the lyrics.  Encore!

Hi Lynn thanks for taking the time to listen once again , you are a man of the  highest  calibre  and a man with dam fine facial follicles , i really do appreciate your response  and critique, spurs me on no end  cheers Paul ..clean shaven

Hi Paul .. the first rendition is right for this bit of work, I listened to this and thought how much ( to me ) it was perfect ...  raw and with words/Lyrics that made absolute sense. We always try a little harder, thinking that's what might be more professional and a little more acceptable ion the world of mixing /songwriting.

Well, for me there seemed little or no improvement when hearing the second mix ... OK it seems better ...  but it's cold and doesn't have your spirit in the words and that is IMHO is what is missing ... So for me it's a great song with a real message and I love it  ... but may be a different approach to the mix ... you are a great songwriter and Muso ..I may not always comment but I love your stuff .. Keep the spice .. ( That's what I think .. anyway )

Hi Steve yes yes I totally understand what you're saying , I`m an old blues player so anything ``live recorded´´  is always on the money´ as far as I´m concerned , unfortunately or not  with all the electronic vst files and magical technical skulduggery that's at our finger tips its very easy to go overboard and add the kitchen sink , of which I am truly guilty at times ( more often than not ) also with a weak song one can add all that stuff to boost them up , Ive just posted a rough demo which may interest you along those lines ``walking up to your house `` cheers and thanks for your constructive input much appreciated paul

Hi chaps , well Ive gone a bit off piste on this rough idea of a song , its been on the back burner for some time and I was unsure if it was really ``a keeper´´ or not  and should I pursue it further ?, so its still not finished , the main vocal (sometimes off key)halfway through was quickly recorded with a hand held mic  and then a roughly added solo guitar end s abruptly as i don't know what or where its going , that all said i think the story though often told is rather sweet and innocent , conjures up white picket fences a black 11 year old kid wearing a white shirt , shorts and his recently washed tennis shoes going to her house to meet her parents..its just young sweet love and being accepted into the fold . cheers guys all comments are welcome...

Rough lyrics

Walking up to your house, leave the city sweat behind, Walking up to your house baby, looking all around

Walking up to your house wipe the troubles off my feet, leave the grey stone worries back on the street ,

I Got a clean white shirt on and I`ve washed my Sneekers , I must have

smelt my breath a thousand times......, and it`s still not fine

Well I`ll be on my best behaviour , Goodie two shoes got nothing on me

I got my stories straight and proof of ID, If they ask me

Oh they`re gonna ask me …

bridge

Just a kid that’s a fallen in love doing the best he can

First impressions last much longer gonna pull my neck tie straight tonight

The door`s open and I walk right in , doesn’t matter about the colour of

my skin , I see the man and he´s shaking my hand , I see you , you see

me , I’m in love and I´m free

(Am)x2 (F) (E) …solo….

(Am) (Bm)

He takes the bus from the wrong side of town, and ended up in Peynton place

Walking home from your house, heart still skipping a beat

  and now we`r all just sitting Around,
