I like this one-wasn't there a song on an early kd lang album with a similar title?

The rich instrumental tones bled so well and then the killer vocals kick in... love it.

Original song by Matthew Oldboy Stoddard AKA Social Deception.
Lyrics:

Mr. Wednesday, why don’t you come on down,
Take a load off man, get yourself together,
Mr. Wednesday, saw your face on the tv screen,
You were stoic with that holy streak of mean,
Mr. Wednesday, where did you go off to,
Last we saw you, you had fallen so low,
Mr. Wednesday, don’t give up on your dreams.
You took us from silence to screams.
Mr. Wednesday, all the places you have explored,
All those fancy women you adored,
Mr. Wednesday, all the riches you thoroughly enjoyed,
All that emptiness you employed.
Mr. Wednesday, where did that money all go,
Your schemes only left you with nothing to show,
Mr. Wednesday, time is not our friend,
It only left you bitter in the end,
2X Mr. Wednesday, must we always end up alone,
We can only hope our soul has grown,
Mr. Wednesday, saw your face on the tv screen,
You were stoic with that holy streak of mean….

Down the rabbit hole

Mr. Wednesday

5 Star Commended Entry in the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest

Waiting for the world to get back upon its feet,
Been so long waiting in the wings,
Getting hard to remember how things really were,
How I miss the ordinary things,

Like, casual conversations with strangers that you meet,
Hanging out with friends, and simply walking down the street,
How I miss the ordinary things,

Like, sitting at the coffee shop, watching people passing by,
Seeing mothers pushing push-chairs while their little babies cry,
How I miss the ordinary things,

Waiting for the world to get back upon its feet,
It's been so long waiting in the wings,
Getting hard to remember how things really were,
How I miss the ordinary things,

Like, taking a bus ride, three stops down the road,
Meeting friends for dinner, and hosting them at home,
How I miss the ordinary things,

Like, shopping unconcerned, without watching my back,
Making pointless journeys and other things like that,
How I miss the ordinary things,

Waiting for the world to get back upon its feet,
I've spent so long waiting in the wings,
It's getting hard to remember how things really were,
How I miss the ordinary things,
How I miss the ordinary things,

Awaking in a New World

After our first collaboration - https://soundcloud.com/markjbennett/set-me-down-that-road-rplanesmjbennett - Rodolfo offered me a challenge in the form of a decades old song (in a folk/pop style, complete with tape hiss) that he was updating with a platform that is closer to R&B and my task was to come up with a new lyric. This original break-up song had an air of a happy ending to it, though initially I chose to write something less optimistic… however it became clear that with the new arrangement my words had to match the original mood. The added bonus to this is that I now have another break-up song lyric available for the future.
Singing a song that had already existed in another form meant that I had to find a very personal interpretation in order to make it truly mine. A huge thanks to Rodolfo for sharing his inspiring music with me.

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

Enjoy!

My Africa ❤️ (open collab)

All of my original songs are recorded at home on a 24 track Tascam DP-24. I perform all the instruments and vocals with the help of an Alesis drum machine. My biggest musical influences come from the classic rock era, but I like to experiment with different styles of music. I have always been deeply passionate about music since I was very young. I really appreciate you taking time to listen to my music. I think it's very cool to connect with musicians all over the world. Peace! Please check out my new album Rays of Love on all major music platforms. https://artists.landr.com/064837114323
