Hey CW man, this is a really charming song. Very catchy vocal melodies sung over such stirring and well performed instruments. Love your piano work in here, man. Also, love the crescendo at the end, too. Excellent work here!

Good lyrics and I really enjoy the chorus harmonies

getting a bit of a Nick Cave vibe from this one.

This is very nice. Very unique and with nice motifs.

LYRIC

The differences that seemed so great
That made me think I had to wait
To find a place where I belong
I thought were real - but I was wrong

The differences to which we cling
Convinced that they mean everything
They occupy a lonely heart
That wants to join but stands apart

The differences that you perceive
Are only something you believe
But at the end of life’s long day
The differences all fall away

A mirror saw me peering in
Wondering who that might have been
An anxious child with a lonely heart
That wants to share but how to start?

The difference is as years flew by
I finally stopped my asking why
And let the world just simply be
And the difference it made to me
Set me free

The differences that seemed so great
That made me think I had to wait
Yes, they’re still here and yet somehow
They don’t seem important now

The Differences

Between July and November 1916 one of the most harrowing events in warfare history took place , the Battle of the Somme . In a largely pointless campaign , only 6 miles of French land was reclaimed , the British had 420,000 casualties , the French 194,000 and the Germans over 440,000 , a very sobering thought ! The people who gave the orders said to the men " We're right behind you " About 35 miles from the front in relative safety , not exactly right behind the men at the front risking their lives , what a waste of British , French and German souls . This is the story of a mans journey to the front , and having told that sad tale I do hope you enjoy it ! Back with a Xmas song on the 20th , and Charlie and the Fox finish the year off on the 27th , loads coming up in the New Year ! Thank you so much , and if you get chance have a listen to a track or 2 from me and Charlottes new album

Nice and really smooth and it’s got a really good vibe.

Flying to the end

There was a scientist, he invented a time machine
he was looking to go back to those days wen life was not nearly so complex
He got inside, he pushed the button but his calculations were wrong
He ended up in the Juriasic era and was eaten by a T-Rex

Sometimes things don't turn out quite the way you expected
Sometmes you just gotta jump before all the dots are connected

Sometimes the answer's right in front of your snout
Sometimes you just gotta let those bottled feelings come out
Sometimes the truth is there but you just don't want to see it
Sometimes you gotta open up your mind and make a decision to free it

There was a prince who had royal blood and he was destined to become king and he wasn't very interested in taking on that job
One day he just got on his horse and he rode away and he never came back
he assumed a new identity and became a working class slob

Sometimes things don't turn out quite the way you expected
Sometmes you just gotta jump before all the dots are connected

Sometimes the answer's right in front of your snout
Sometimes you just gotta let those bottled feelings come out
Sometimes the truth is there but you just don't want to see it
Sometimes you gotta open up your mind and make a decision to free it

Sometimes you gotta step out of the box and see which way the wind is blowing. Head in the opposite direction and convince yourself to get going
Sometimes you gotta march to a brand new beat. Sometimes you gotta make a U-turn and head down a different street

Sometimes the answer's right in front of your snout
Sometimes you just gotta let those bottled feelings come out
Sometimes the truth is there but you just don't want to see it
Sometimes you gotta open up your mind and make a decision to free it

Burden

Where Do We Go

Saw you flicking the v's 
in your head
Air kissing the cheeks
of the living dead
I'd run away if I'd something 
left to lose
You tell your truth from the bottom 
of your shoes

Momentary moved
With the moonshot mind
Yesterday's looking old 
as the compromise
I'd disappear if you'd only see
straight through
You tell your truth from the 
bottom of your shoes

Won't you save me the lightning bolt?

Many days waste away
in my bed
The cautious mute counts the words
in his head
But you tell your truth
from the bottom of your shoes

The Cautious Mute

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT:  Here in 2025 I have slowed with so-called "final studio versions" and am sharing demos of new songs. Check otu the "@2025v DEMOS" playlist! With "Trap Doors" Sexagenarian Vol VI now has nine of its planned 12 tracks. Check out the other five (5!) volumes of Sexagenarian as well. Then there's "Darq Bleu/Change Hue," my first collaboration with anyone other than my brother. I took about half of the Crawling Vines (Jack Holston) song "Darq Bleu" and added a chorus. Came out pretty well! 

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
