Collaborating can be a lot of fun!  This is the third released collaboration with Mark Spruce (Original Spruce). 

It was an interesting process. Mark came up with the oven glove line, I sent him a few abandoned lyrics I had from a song before about bulbs in the dirt, and he then developed them into the full lyric about a relationship and moving on and added the melody. He then sent me the main guitar track and his excellent double tracked lead vocals. I then migrated those into GarageBand and then built up the full backing instrumental and added the backing vocals. A bit technical for me but we got there! He then made the beautiful video!

I hope you enjoy it! 👍😃

Lyrics 
You need more than
Oven gloves
To touch the sun
And a 5 ton heart
Makes it hard to run

But hey there now,
Why the long face?
Get up off the floor
Get back in the race

There are plenty more
Bulbs in the dirt
There are plenty more
Leaves on the stem

He was the grub on your shrub
And it’s eating you up
And I know he was

Starting to bug you.

But who knows?
It flows both ways.
Sometimes you didn't call
And you left when
You should have stayed

I'm not judging
I'm just saying
Black and white
Can start greying

The seams
They start fraying
They slowly come apart

Until you're right back at the start
 
Time for both to move on
If it’s wrong then its wrong
It once was special
But now it is gone.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

I’m a singer/songwriter from Guildford, Surrey, England. I started writing songs when I was 12 on a piano but really got into it when I started playing the guitar at 13/14. As with so many of us, career and family became the priority and I stopped writing over a 30 year period. Now I’ve retired, I’ve finally got time to write and record again and I love it! 
I play everything on the songs and record on my MacBook on GarageBand. Still learning! 
I hope you enjoy the songs and thank you in advance for any comments and feedback.
