The Life and Soul

[Paul Bush]

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 ,

Hi Paul

I really like this - a well written track, very nicely played and mixed - enjoyed it a lot

reminded me in a strange but very good way of a Nick Lowe /  Brinsley Schwarz track - great stuff

Cool stuff

This is interesting, it has a few other eras vibes to it put together nicely like a quilt. Sounds great, enjoyed it, and brought back memories...

Hi Paul - nice fun song I like it.  I would make the drums drive it forward with another more direct pattern, but even so, it is a good listen.  Enjoyed it.

Hey Paul, everything is boffo on this except the drums on the verses seem a tad off kilter. I like those chord changes on the chorus a lot and the bass is terrific -- enjoyed the listen -- Allan.

Another great song Paul . . . some excellent vocals, as always . . . was waiting for the sprawling guitar solo, but you kept this one on the story of the lyric. Yes, I really like the story and the very real feeling of it, as it unfolded . . . top notch songwriting !

[Wookiee]

Works Here, mix seem balanced to thes furry ears.

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
