Very nice production. Great playing and singing as ever. Good work from your guitarist and harmoniser buddy. Chris

Great production love the drive and the guit.  Great lyrics - Great story

I really liked the vocal harmony and the chorus, very nice work!

Great lyrics, great production, Steely Dan with social conscience!

Has a classic 70's soft rock feel, with a message in the lyrics too, love it!

This cool song holds great energy and vibe,the melody is lovely and I love how the electric guitars sounds(:

Your voice reminds me of Jeff Lynne, who's one of my favorite singers.  The instrumentation flows very well with the vocals.  The lyrics are thought-provoking.  Simply put, this is an excellent song!

I cannot help but think we will look back on this period of our history with shame and regret. I wonder if we would still think it's ok to turn away those in need if we were to meet them personally and hear their stories. It's easy when they are faceless and unknown. It's easy to give in to our fears of anything and anyone that is different. It's easy to say there's nothing I can do.

We can start by engaging our own conscience, by changing our minds. We can start by not blindly following the crowd. Then, perhaps, one day we will stop seeing ourselves as the centre of the universe, stop being manipulated by self serving politicians, and realise we are all part of The Big Picture.

You find shells on the beach
While they dodge mines in the ground
You sip wine by the fire
While their homes are burning down
You let your children run free
Their sons and daughters live in fear
You live in the land of plenty 
But you say, there ain’t no room here

Oh, no no no 
No no no
No no no

Your politicians
Sell you their lies and peddle their spin
For 30 pieces of silver
Those fools would tell you anything 
You watch the nightly news
But you don’t take anything in
You see Joseph and Mary with child
But you say, there ain't no room at the inn

Oh, no no no 
No no no
No no no
Oh, no no no 
No no no
No no no 

You’ve got to
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind 
To the big picture baby
Take a look around
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind 
To the big picture baby
Take a look around 

Why don’t you
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind 
To the big picture baby
Take a look around
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind 
To the big picture baby
Take a look around

The Big Picture

Sandy

I took an oath to stand my ground when the feeling comes
And greys the day
Listen carefully, I hear the song
The wind brings along to help carry on
ooooooooo oooooooo
Doesn’t it feel good?
oooooooo oooooooooo
Enjoy it while it lasts

Through snow we ran, I recall her glance
Then the ray fades and we split ways
The moment you know that this will end
and stay a memory, or a beautiful dream.
Ohooooooooooooo Why waste time
when there is none
Ohhhhhhhhh
Enjoy it while it lasts

As Written In The Stars

Enjoy it while it lasts

Letting go is the hardest thing in life. Whether it's letting go of the people we love, nicknacks, old love, preconceived notions... Yet, let go we must.

Bitter End

Sometimes I sing my favourite songs to unwind and use Karaoke backing tracks. This is my tribute to one of my favourite rock singers, Chris Cornell.

Black Hole Sun

I often sing my favourite songs to karaoke backing tracks for pure pleasure. Here's my tribute to Jeff Buckley.

Last Goodbye

Tell me that you want me
That I'm the one you need
Cause you could be the one
That saves me
From this misery

Loneliness anxiety
Thats whats left of me
But you could be the one
That saves me
From this misery

Take my soul and rip it apart
Take my soul and rip it apart
Take my soul and rip it apart
Take my soul

I don't remember me
The one I used to be
But you could be the one
That saves me
From this misery

Take my soul and rip it apart
Take my soul and rip it apart
Take my soul and rip it apart
Take my soul

Cause you don't have to be alone
No you don't have to be alone

Cause I could be the one that saves you
I could be the one that saves you
I could be the one that saves you

From this misery
From this misery
From this misery
