The Wagon

My first brief from the "Fresh Tracks: Unknown Animal- Songwriters Group"
The task was to write a song about what we would miss in our everyday lives, I choose to write about time.

Time

I’ll tell you a secret I found
It came from a note on the ground
That was made out to a lady called Jen
I guess he never seen her again

He said Jen dear I know I was wrong
It doesn’t matter if we have a home
It only matters that my homes with you
Give me time to see it through

If theres only one thing you should know
This one thing that I’ve learned
You’ll have nothing to show if you don’t take time
You won’t have time.

Your friends told me Jen that you’ve gone
Taken too soon you were still young
Thought that you’d always be there
I wish now I’d taken the time

If theres only one thing you should know
This one thing that I’ve learned
You’ll have nothing to show if you don’t take time
You won’t have time.

If your reading this now you will know
The secret I learned from his note
Is that time is more precious that gold
Its something you can’t hold
So take this advice from me
Take the time, While you’ve got time
Just take the time, While you’ve got time

If theres only one thing you should know
This one thing that I’ve learned
You’ll have nothing to show if you don’t take time
You won’t have time.
Just take the time, you have time

Time

Work in progress...

A wee sneaky peek at the bare bones of my next single...

No More Falling Down (version 1.0)

"Stay - Stay was written after speaking to / reading about the effects of dementia on being able to recognise loved ones. One of the most impactful stories I heard was the story of a person whose mother had dementia. When visiting her, she gradually forgot that he was her son, but there was something about him she liked so asked him to stay and wait with her for her son to arrive. A similar story was told to me at the centre when we visited, with loved ones not always being recognised but the person with dementia retaining some memory of them."

Bills biography:
Bill Black
Bill was born on 19th June 1938 in Hurlford, weighing in at a whopping 14lbs 5oz!!!  Yes, more than a stone!!  After school, he joined the mining industry and went ‘doon the pit’.  He moved to Massey Ferguson, married Annette, and they have 2 boys, Jim and David.  Bill then moved on to Glenfield and then worked with the police in Kilmarnock before retiring in 2003.  He has 4 grandchildren and a great granddaughter Marnie – he is such a doting great grandparent!  At family gatherings, lubricated by a single malt, Bill will entertain with his wonderful old school voice, covering Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Matt Monroe with aplomb!  Bill enjoys Men’s Group at the Resource Centre with his good friend Ronnie – they are quite a double act!

Dance Like I Want To (IWIL Remix)

Weeks after two recent releases of features (“K.O” with producer Hotwork and “Put Your Lips Like This” with Sylow ((Spirit Soul Records), Dree Mon returns with her newest single “When it Goes Down,” a pop gem that hints at the disco & funk moments she is known for, while keeping an ultra modern front. As her history as a professional dancer goes, creating jams that make you move is a sure bet, and this time, she’s combined her dancey vibe with the relatable and personal account of balancing one’s career and private life. Written with fellow artist and Producer Josh Collopy, this song was born out of their very conversation about who would be there for them in those moments when worlds turn upside down and chaos takes over, as it inevitably does in the pursuit of a dream. This song was co-produced by Simon Jacobson (KREAM, iamsimon), mixed by Jason Haag and mastered by Reuben Cohen (Lurrsen Mastering). Be sure to catch Dree Mon performing all over Southern California, with more national gigs on the horizon.

Lyrics:
You're only down for me, when I'm up
I give you everything, but it'll never be enough
The only tragedy, is your minds an empty cup
But you don't really know what you know about me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, what you want you can't understand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, even in the palm. of your hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, no matter what I do
Whatever it's never enough for you, 
Enough for you

You only love me, love me at my best
Don't really want me, can't take on the rest
You got an answer for everything, even tho your life's a mess
You only love me, love me at my best
You only love, you only love,  lu love 
You only love, you only love,  lu lu love
You only love, you only love,  only love 
Only love

Now that you're gone, things are looking up
Found my antidote for your toxic love
I'll send a postcard from somewhere better off
Cuz you don't really know what you know about me  
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, what you want you can't understand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, even in the palm. of your hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, no matter what I do
Whatever it's never enough for you, 
Enough for you

You only love me, love me at my best
Don't really want me, can't take on the rest
You got an answer for everything, even tho your life's a mess
You only love me, love me at my best
You only love, you only love,  lu love 
You only love, you only love,  lu lu love
You only love, you only love,  only love 
Only love
You only love
You only love
Where are you now
Me at my best 
Don't need you anyhow yeah
You only love 
I need someone who's willing just love me at my best
Me at my best 
My best

Love Me At My Best
