Ohhh how times have changed! Great song! Here to hoping we can carry on.

🎵 What a touching and relatable song about modern loneliness! Your lyrics capture that mid-life reality so perfectly ✨ Love how you contrast youthful freedom with adult responsibilities 🎤 The metaphors about dogs vs kids and free-range roosters are so clever 💫 Your voice carries all the bittersweet truth of these observations 🌟 A beautiful reflection on how friendship changes as we age ❤️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sounds like the transition from being single to being married with children.

sounds so familiar my friend! I'm sure you have a bunch of other comments saying the same thing, lol! As usual, you have a way with words...

really enjoyed this story.. and my lyricist-mind changed one line by accident " Your wife´s an unwritten book" (at times we read things that are not there!) lol...great job, Joe, as always!(

You miss those days when you were young, carefree and single
And if you wanted to meet people
you could just go to a bar, drink beer and mingle.
Now you’re constantly busy trying to tie up all the loose ends.  
You have so many domestic chores to do on your weekends. 

Somewhere along the way it became hard make new friends
That’s not the way it used to be. 
The world’s a crowded place, full of so many people.
But sometimes you feel like the only fish in the sea.

People without kids who have dogs, they think it’s the same thing
You can leave you dog home alone
 but you can’t do that with your offspring
You miss those days when you could tear up your plans and act spontaneously
Now you have to juggle so many things simultaneously

You used to strut around like a free-range rooster 
Now you’re laying eggs in a cramped cage
Your life’s an unwritten book 
But every day you’re stuck on the same page 

You pick up a half empty glass of milk and you try to tell yourself it’s half full
You catch a glimpse of your pear-shaped dad bod in the mirror and you tell yourself you’re still cool

They say there’s an epidemic of loneliness. 
You think about all those old friends that you really miss.
It used to be that you could just pick up your phone and call somebody out of the blue
But times have changed and now that’s not something that people do.
When you stood in line at a public place you could initiate a conversation
But now people have their faces buried in their phones for the entire duration

Somewhere along the way it became hard make new friends
That’s not the way it used to be. 
The world’s a crowded place, full of so many people.
But sometimes you feel like the only fish in the sea.
The world’s a crowded place, full of so many people.
But sometimes you feel like the only fish in the sea.

Hard To Make New Friends

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
