I like this one! Vocals are cool and writing is good. Great work, my man!

@matt_lindsey: That's very kind Matt, many thanks..

Super cool sounding track, really dig the lyrics and vocals! Great guitar tones also!

Fight The Feeling

Now when did we last see
That life got ahead of us
We've been way too busy
Playing catch up with the rest of us

We have it all
Then we let it fall
Who wins?

Now when did we last think
To offer unspoken words
We felt safe believing
That they'd go by unheard

Why sulk at all?
When we can call
And say

Hey
There's an old bar round the corner
Playing some cool blues
How 'bout you and I get swinging
To some sweet tune
Truth be told
We're getting old
So let's try
Try to bring the sunshine back again

Now when did we last feel
That love took second place
We took things for granted
And started another chase

There must be another way
To say things we wanna say
And not get swayed

Hey
There's an old bar round the corner
Playing some cool blues
How 'bout you and I get swinging
To some sweet tune
Truth be told
We're getting old
So let's try
Try to bring the sunshine back again

So, let's open our hearts again
Let's take those first steps again
And let the sunshine back in again

I don't want to destroy my first Demo-Upload. 
It is so sweet with the background laughing. So i create a new Version of this song.
Please check out the collab of this song with R-Soul. He lovingly added drums and backing vocals to this song.


Lyrics:
Sometimes things will happen, that can never be explained 
As by magic, they will stagger fall to the ground in pain.
Like a statue, anchored to its grounding 
They’ve lost the touch.

The stone you picked up at the shore on your holiday.
Has lain under water for many, many centuries
Moved only at low tide by the waves and the current.
now gets out of balance

And the things that fall off your shelf
Make me think about myself
How it must feel when there, where once was my place
All that's remains of me is this empty space
 
And while I fall off your shelf.
Pass all these things of beauty and grace
That you have placed with your skill for design and flair
As if between you and them would be a love affair

Everything arranged like a map of your mind 
mirrored on the wooden boards I left behind.
Each place was chosen with precission and care.
Some in a way that no one else would dare.
Some do not seem to fit together at all.
Without you, i feel so small

And when i reenter my place
you can see the tears that run down my face.
Of Joy and Fear 
I swore to you my dear
i will never leave this place here, without you again

Paroles / Lyrics :

Mauvais pressentiment
une odeur lourde rôde tout autour...
Ne revient aucun sentiment
juste une peur sourde aux alentours...
L'heure du ménage de printemps
tonitruantes pluies de mauvais temps :
balles grenades missiles bombes...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Sonnent les heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

De mon plafond tombent des hallebardes
les murs se lézardent
je perds pied le sol se dérobe
m'attire m'aspire m'absorbe...
Grand nettoyage place au vide :
Maladies épidémies virus Covid...
toutes les plaies sur nous retombent...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Tonnent les heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

De toucher le fond il me tarde :
je tournoie sans fin dans la tornade...
Mes souvenirs m'oppressent me stressent
m'immergent dans la détresse.
Grand final catastrophes naturelles :
cyclones tsunamis éruptions incendies
belle mise en œuvre pour qu'on succombe...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Dans mes heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

Dans mes heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

Come to me

Finally finished this song in 2019 after seeing a link between Anthony Gormley's "Another Place" on my home town/Liverpool suburb of Crosby's beach and what I was trying to say about my birthplace and pride in the city and its people. My parents moved the family south in the 80s; my family were economic migrants in Maggie's Design...............,

Michael Murray's Album

Maggie’s Design

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
