As I get older
Some people they get colder
Who did we think we were kidding?
What made us think we’d be winning? 
The man in the spotlight was talking to me
Telling me all that I was unwilling to see

A new generation
With no explanation 
Making the same old mistakes 
Taken as fools, whatever it takes
Now I’m in the spotlight with tears on my face
I’m leaving this theatre I won’t leave a trace

Is your heart at peace, is your conscience clear?
Would you prefer it, if I was still here?
When the guilt kicks in in the middle of the night
And you paid lip service for most your life
You never phoned or sent that text         
And you know why, but in retrospect   /  you knew best

The years are going faster
I’d hope that it’d last, but
Now I know that’s not true
I can’t live my life through you
Seen it all through, some sad sense of duty      
Pretending it’s real to make out that suits me

We imagined that somehow we’d be special
Man I think we were expecting some kind of medal 
Take me back to that night in New York City      
 34 years makes me come over all kinda giddy
Is your heart at peace, is your conscience clear?
Would you prefer it, if I was still here?

Is your heart at peace, is your conscience clear?
Would you prefer it, if I was still here?
When the guilt kicks in in the middle of the night
And you paid lip service for most your life
You could wait for a call from beyond the grave
Or the here and now while it’s not too late

As I Get Older

Bill Saunders created a beautiful piece for piano and voice last month which he posted on the AudioBus forum.
He then produced a simple but heartfelt video.
For some reason this piece really got to me so I asked Bill if I could add a little accompaniment which he kindly agreed to.
After some work (all by Bill) re-recording and re-mastering we finished up with this version which has some added SWAM Viola. 

Bill’s BandCamp site (which has the original unadorned version) can be found here https://billsaunders1.bandcamp.com

Where The Wind Blows

Here's a tribute track for 90s Eurodance group Sash!  The lyrics are a bit cheesy, but that's the point.

I created this track in Nanostudio 2 on iPhone 14 Pro Max.  Vocals were recorded and processed in Cubasis 3.  Mastered with Grand Finale 2.

Cheers and enjoy.
