It’s too late to change your mind 
You’d better get used to the fact 
There’s no point in thinking there’s plenty of time 
And you know that there’s no turning back 

It’s too late to change your mind 
But you can’t live your life with regret 
There’s always somebody more handsome and funny 
Getting rich without breaking a sweat 

It’s too late to change your mind 
Because life is a one way street 
You feel like your walking in circles 
You’re worn out and you’re dead on your feet 

But it’s too late to change your mind 

If the way that you’re living ain’t making much sense 
I’m not going to insult your intelligence 
From your half empty glass drink a toast to your past 
And enjoy what you have while you can 


a holiday rep / a footballer / a fireman / a traffic warden / i had no thoughts about what i wanted to be when i was young / a pharmacist / someone who painted the flowers on cups / a vet / a fire-fighter / an archaeologist / an interior designer / a makeup artist / a pilot / a gymnast / a designer / to be an artist / i don’t know... yet 

friends and family and having a good time / other people’s misery / my kids... laughing / cheesecake / rabbits / watching man united / money / shoes / you tell me / drinking and socialising / what makes me happy? life / just to be happy within yourself 

good question... er what’s the meaning of life? having fun / friendships are very important / just being alive and being happy / inner peace / vodka / that’s too difficult for me i can’t answer that question

It's Too Late to Change Your Mind

Winner of 2024 Liverpool Songwriting Competition with "The Boy With the Red Hat", taken from "Death to Mortality".

People have said that Jim plays guitar like a drummer. He is. In the mid eighties, he toured the Far East, Europe and Tyneside with near-legendary Geordie club band Foxy, before putting down his sticks, opting for a life of obscurity as graphic designer, husband and dad.

In his late thirties with a mid-life-crises looming, he started writing and recording his songs, self-releasing “Some Songs by Jim Pearson” in his fortieth year.

Suddenly, nothing happened, so he continued, and gradually accumulated a niche following of several well-intentioned virtual people, each possessing an uncanny appreciation of music and lyrics, as well as managing to get a handful of plays on BBC 6 music.

Jim is also singer, guitarist, songwriter with niche NW-UK band Scaredycats, who's debut album "Dumb Animals" was pronounced album of the year by Liverpool Sound and Vision in 2017.

Last year, he was a key collaborator and producer with international lockdown supergroup "Nothing On TV".

According to Jim... "You might not agree, but I think I’m getting better at this. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never get the global recognition I so clearly deserve, and honestly, I am all the happier for it."

BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson says... “This is the astonishingly prolific Merseyside songwriter Jim Pearson… you never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it’s gonna be pretty darn good...” (The Tom Robinson Show, January 25th 2020)

Husband and dad, between the day job Steff writes, records and occasionally releases material from home on his very own imaginary record label. His latest EP 'Tunings' continues to receive positive reviews both at home and abroad, as did his debut album 'Blue Pathways' . Furthermore, Steff has had success with commercial placement for his music as well as receiving BBC radio airplay.

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement. If you listen and leave a comment I always try to listen to *your* music when responding! If you follow at random without any feedback I hope you get something out of that too... ; )
