Great song, also I'm a fan of R.E.M too :)

Powerful lyrics my friend, and well done for raising so much money for veterans. My Dad was at Casino at the same time, and having walked the beaches you describe it invokes powerful emotions indeed

Cool song, reminded me of Sparklehorse. Awesome!

Intro has a great Gordon Lightfoot/Edmund Fitzgerald vibe.  Love the distorted vocal effect, fits this driving rhythm so well

I wrote this song while in the Navy. I had no girlfriends to cry over back then. I had to get creative and use that imagination I was belittling for possessing by the academics. I will surely amount nothing said the educated one. As they faded into the mist for which like their hollow words vaporized. No bitterness there.

Take This Chance

*VERSE 1*
There are things in your life you would change if you thought you could change.
Many places you've been and the scenes that you've seen bring you pain.

*PRE CHORUS*
This pain you feel inside will fade away tonight.

*HALF CHORUS*
Let the crowd sing out and call your name.
You will never get this chance again.

*TAG*
Take this chaaaaaannce.

*VERSE TWO*
When it's time you can't run from the person you hope to become,
Anything you say and you do can be used against you when you're young.

It takes time (you'll be fine)
You'll be fine (it takes time)
In the end

You'll be fine (it takes time),
it takes time, (you'll be fine)
With your friends.

*PRE CHORUS*
Don't let them waste your time,
Just play with us tonight.

*CHORUS*
Let the crowd sing out and call you name,
You will never get this chance again,
If you take it, you'll make it,
Do all that you can not to waste it,
Take this chance.

**SLAMMING DUELLING GUITAR SOLO**

**CHORUS**
Let the crowd sing out and call you name,
You will never get this chance again,
If you take it, you'll make it,
Do all that you can not to waste it,
Take this chance.

Take This Chance (2023 Herofest Charity Single)

A little song about how desperate times seem to be with the news that The UK is now fully closing it's borders to refugees and asylum seekers.

A shameful chapter in our history.

I Want The Future Back
They said that when they come,
It'll be with marching drums,
But now you know you can't believe the news from anyone,
And my dad told me son,
They'll come for everyone
There's no one left to save the poorest and the last of us.

The baby boomers came,
Filled up with righteous claims,
Their parents died and fought the fascists just to save our souls,
But when their moment came,
They played a different game,
And fell into the trap of bankers and their dog whistles.

You know that I just can't believe,
The words you say to me,
I want the future back,
They've taken it from you and me.
I want the future back.

When we were boys and girls, 
We all watched Tomorrow's World,
Aren't we supposed to travel in an airtight tube  by now?
Where have you taken us?
Why have no faith in us?
We're asking you for answers but you won't tell us how.

A generation lost,
We've paid the greater cost,
Financial crashes crush the masses as the planet suffers drought,
And if we stay the same,
We'll be the ones to blame,
But blame the parents they're the ones who sold us out.

You know that I just can't believe,
The words you say to me,
I want the future back,
They've taken it from you and me,
I want the future back.

They blame the immigrants,
We know that's just a front,
And this is how we know they would treat the rest of us,
It's not 1933,
It feels the same to me,
Financial crises that they make and simply blame some other ones.

The drums are pounding now,
There's fascists in our towns,
Just hold on tight and hope we make it through the other side,
There's lessons we won't learn,
While there's a quid to earn,
The hard-won freedoms that we're losing for which our grandparents died.

You know that I just can't believe,
The words you say to me,
I want the future back,
They've taken it from you and me,
I want to understand,
But now they run the BBC,
I want the future back,
I want the future back.

The Dream

I am a singer-songwriter originally from Liverpool (yes, that one; home to Cilla, Everton FC and a few other cultural icons) and now living in Kent, near London, UK. I play in a ‘punk n’roll' covers band called the The Oddball 3 and my own songs solo at open mics. I’m a music nerd/geek obsessed with The Beatles and Bowie and like lots more: Costello (btw my ‘Elvis’ moniker is a nickname I picked playing rugby football – I think I started one season with a decent set of sideburns!), Squeeze, R.E.M., Smiths, Roxy, Bolan, Springsteen, Neil Finn etc. Partial to a bit of synth / electronica/ country/ SKA/ reggae/ Motown/Stax soul too – a very eclectic mix of inspirations and influences. I’m a vinyl and CD junkie and overall,  listening to, playing and writing music is my life's passion...... However, I try ,nonetheless, not to take myself too seriously and I do this 100% for fun and while I dream of writing a classic song(s) from which the publishing could allow me to quit the day job (I'm a school teacher) realistically, I have no ambition other than for friends and strangers to give me the privilege of their valuable time to listen to my songs; and, as a bonus, if they like it; maybe click and comment. I record all my stuff on my iPad using Garageband for iOS. Yeah; for sure I could get a better sound if I used X,Y and Z or mixed this up and that down etc. but I'm honestly not really bothered. Generally, I’m lo-fi, vintage, retro, 20th century kind of guy and everything I present here is purely a demo. It is all about the songs and the sound ‘idea’ for me and not the performance. Although I believe that I’m a very competent/experienced, (albeit technically ‘unadventurous’) guitar player; I’ll hold my hands up to a limited singing range and looping and pre-sets save my life given my keyboard skills extend barely beyond being able to flange out chords with one or two not accompanying bass notes. If you want to talk about my (or your) songs that's cool; as is anything geeky/nerdy about any of the artists above or similar. However, please don't get in touch with production tips and suggestions, because in the nicest possible way, I’m not that interested in such things - But I won't be rude if you don't read this first :) More than anything, think it’s really important that artists respect each other’s’ work even if they don’t like or rate it highly. Anyway, Love and Peace, ElvisOddball AKA Michael Murray
