A song I wrote back in early 21 and probably one of the first after learning the guitar after a 20 year hiatus from any music, live or recording.
The wife brought me a lovely fender acoustic after I said the year before in Santo Tomas that  I really wished I had learnt to play the guitar.
A poignant moment was when my younger lad set up a soundcloud account in lockdown for my band This Elegant Chaos and loaded the albums and singles we had done. It had been such a long time since I had listened to the tracks it lite a fire in me to do it again. 
My family house was surrounded with guitars as my dad was a guitarist and my older brother who still is and still plays live & records with his original band The Bleeding Hearts. I just wanted to sing not showing any interest in learning which really annoys me now as it would have gave me a better understanding of the writing process. Instead of singing my vocal melodies to my band members expecting them to find the cords to match . 
This song explains the moment I reconnected with my past and was now my future again. 
I sent the original sketch from four years ago to Mike and he loved it.
I was such a novice to home recording back then that I always wanted to hear a well produced version.
I didn’t really give Mike any musical guidance on this just left it in his capable hands. 
I think it’s good to be brave at times and let the people who know what they are doing to just get on with it. 
Well another top mark from Magic Mike Fox as always.
So thank  you Mike for believing in the ideas and making them happen
With such passion and skill.
This Sound Society gives you…..

V1
Reconnect me I forgot I still cared 
This feels strange after 20 years 
Lost my love for this and I was full of doubt
There were moments when I was missing this
Santo Tomàs was sent to reclaim me
And brought me back to where I was lost
 
Chorus 
So let’s reconnect 
To the days when we were at our best
So let’s reconnect 
When we felt so invincible 
We’re our diminishing youth was incredible 
So let’s reconnect 

V2
Now when I listen I listen with pride
A little biased but I think thats my right
It stands up and stands the test of time
My sons voices sound  just  like mine 
I hope a little of me came out in both of you 
We laughed cried and became inseparable 

Middle 8
Ive now got old and feel less pressure 
Different things brings new found pleasure
Do I wanna be young like Peter Pan forever
I’m not old really just unclaimed treasure 

Chorus to finish
