Strong track. As for the question about title first, that does happen top me a lot. I'll be using "dummy" lyrics, then when I need to settle on a lyric, I may start with a couple random lines and a title comes out of that eventually, but sometimes a title idea will pop into my head.  I think knowing the title helps focus the lyric writing....

To me the verse is a little bit Oasis, then a little bit Lennon. Love the Falling apart...part, into the quieter break. Nice kit work and sound. Terrific playing, arranging and production. Great vocals. Another top toon David.

I wish we could repost more than once!😊

cool song mate, I could imagine Liam Gallagher doing this.

Great production, performance and classy songwriting :)

This one started as a backing track earlier in the year, but it's taken me a while to flesh out the tune. The title came first (do others find that a lot?), and I kind of worked back from there in terms of lyrics. Originally, I laid down just drums, bass, acoustic, piano and lap steel. Recorded vocals before I went away on holiday last week. Then today I added some synthy elements to try and give a bit more movement and interest to the arrangement. Et voila...

LYRICS

Catch a star and make it shine
All along the borderline
I would walk a thousand miles for you
But time rolls on and on

Staring at the setting sun
Wish the evening hadn’t come
I would wait a thousand nights for you
But time rolls on and on and on

I thought that we were searching for the answer
When maybe there’s no answer to find
We only ever wanted to be dancers
When maybe we were dancing all the time

Blackbird singing in the tree
Pure as any song could be
Wish that I could trace it back to you
But time rolls on and on and on

Falling apart
A weight in my heart
As heavy as the sea

I thought that we were searching for the answer
When maybe there’s no answer to find
We only ever wanted to be dancers
When maybe we were dancing all the time
