Talk To Me

Terrible quality,  but the tape it is on is about to break!

Stay In Love With Me

A short story. 

During Lockdown 1, part of Mondy's home schooling timetable was guitar lessons with Dad every lunch time! We built up half a dozen chords or so and found a nice little pattern to play them in, which we did, lots. 

One day during Lockdown 1, when walking the dogs in the Park, Mondy and Sara were talking about what we could and couldn't do and things that everyone used to do, when Mondy just said, "yes, but that was before the key was turned". 

We thought that was a fabulous way of expressing what we missed and are missing. I thought it would make a great title for a song or poem and asked Mond to write some verses around it, which he rather wonderfully did. 

Mondy and I then put the words over the guitar chords we had been practicing and a touching little song was born.

He and I did a hasty 'doorstep' version of it for the Community Centre's brilliant Virtual Variety Night 2, but since then, I have managed to get both out guitar parts recorded and then I've had a bit of fun playing around with it, adding 'twiddly' bits. 
I couldn't get Mondy to re-record his vocals, so you'll have to put up with me.

It's a bit of a sad song, about what we miss, but still has his ever hopeful optimism all over it. Revelant as much now as it was in the Summer. 

Thought now might be a good time to throw it out there. 

Hope you like it.
