OLD SPREADING OAK TREE - Hudson / White

Underneath blue sky, I feel your embrace,
A breeze gently blows my hair, and the sunshine warms my face
I once loved a boy, I'm glad he was crazy about me,
We spent most of our time here, in our own special place.

We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree,
We were so well-matched that we were in perfect harmony
We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree
We swore we'd be together for all eternity

Every year I come here on the day that you died,
The old oak tree's been watered by the tears that I've cried
I once loved a boy, I'm glad he was crazy about me
We made our wedding vows here, I was proud to be your bride

We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree,
We were so well-matched that we were in perfect harmony
We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree
We swore we'd be together for all eternity

You are here, always near, our love's strong,
The wind's your song, I join in and sing along,
I feel your touch, in the rays of the sun,
We're together for eternity

We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree,
We were so well-matched that we were in complete harmony
We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree
We swore we'd be together for all eternity

We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree,
We were so well-matched that we were in complete harmony
We fell in love here, under the old spreading oak tree
We swore we'd be together for all eternity

Old Spreading Oak Tree - Hudson / White

JUST HEAR ME
Words and Music by David White

ROMEO:
I woke this morning with you on my mind
I went to my work not knowing what I’d find
They said you’d been in, left a message for me
Asked them to read it cos I might not cope with what I’d see
And you wrote to me …

JULIET 
I don’t know what to say
You won’t listen to me anyway
You’ll believe what you’ve heard
Even though it’s absurd
Just hear me, when I say, I love you.

ROMEO:
I love you too.

BOTH: 
Let's walk in each other's shoes 
Respect the other's views 
Build together our own way of living 
Make our love about taking and giving

REMEMBER(GRAHAM/WHITE)

Remember when you sang lullabies to me 
Remember when we laughed until we cried 
Remember all the good times 
Remember all the sad times. 
Remember when we were together.

DIALOGUE WITH MY INTERNAL CRITIC

I know you want to keep me safe
but that's really a mistake
We were friends when I was young
but now everything has been turned around

Dialogue with My Internal Critic

A PRACTICE SONG

VERSE 1
Rosie asked us to write something today.
She wasn't worried about what we'd say.
Just wanted us to make a start.
Just run with the initial spark.

CHORUS
Writing a practice Song, It Doesn't Matter, 
It can't go wrong, it's a practice song.

VERSE 2
So I started to write without fear,
Not caring what the others would hear.
No need for me to pretend, 
The only goal is the end.

CHORUS
Writing a practice Song, It Doesn't Matter, 
It can't go wrong, it's a practice song. 

VERSE 2
And it worked!
You're hearing this now!
I wasn't sure, but holy cow!
I'm gonna do this again!

CHORUS
Writing a practice Song, It Doesn't Matter, 
It can't go wrong, it's a practice song. 

Writing a practice Song, It Doesn't Matter, 
It can't go wrong, it's a practice song.

A Practice Song

THANK YOU

I thank you all 
for giving your time
You've been so kind 
and encouraged me

In this safe space
we have learnt together
Seen challenges 
and defeated them

Strangers to friends
we cried a few tears
and laughed a lot.
It's sad to leave

We'll meet again.  
Our journey's just begun
So until then
thanks to you all.

Thank you

Everybody gets a little crazy.

HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN
 
She's not a girl who misses much.
Do do do do do do. Oh yeah 

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane 
The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the national trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left up town
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down.

Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
 
Happiness is a warm gun

When I hold you in my arms 
And I feel my finger on your trigger 
I know nobody can do me no harm, because

Happiness is a warm gun, mama
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun
well don't you know that
Happiness is a warm gun, mama, yeah.

Ice Station Penguin was the name of my band in Bristol back in the 1990s but now is an umbrella term to refer to some of my music projects. 

I have three collections of people

•	Songwriting / Playing just for fun
People who will along to practice and are happy to play the music that I have written or arranged to help me work out what works or doesn’t work and update my scores accordingly.

Songwriting 
Aim: Complete a new song every three months

•	Recording music
People who will play the music that I have written or arranged to be recorded. Some people have been to the Songwriting / Playing just for fun sessions and have played the music that has been worked on in those sessions. Others have worked with me separately using my scores and/or audio guide tracks that I have produced. The latter set of people have only met me the recording engineer and none of the other people on the recordings.

Recording music
Aim: Produce a quality recording of 6 songs per year.

•	Playing live
People who will play the music that I have written or arranged to an audience. I envisage two sets of people. The first that would prefer a few rehearsals together before performing and second that would rather work with me separately or on their own, using my scores and/or audio guide tracks that I have produced with one short run through before the performance.

Playing live
Aim: Perform three times a year
