great bass line here, man! wonderfully constructed and delivered. great choice of instrumentation, too! I dig it!

Love the beats & their punch. Also love that steel drum sound. I agree with Josh, wonderful. Supeb.

I love your voice - the beat is so good 👍🏻

And of course, you have the gravelly voice to do the reggae style vocals.

This is not a song about Marilyn Monroe.
It’s about a fiery relationship they came to an end between two people in which she screams in a melt down  and quotes a famous line from Marilyn Monroe.

If you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best !

JUST AN INSTINCT

Grew up in the same street
Bound to meet
Kicking cans together
Laughed forever
Went to the same school
Shared some thoughts about life
Growing up was fun and games
Or so we thought

We bought our cars
We went to bars
Laid on the beach 
Life unfurled
Sitting in the park
Watching cricket
'Till it was dark
Then barbecues 
And lemon fools

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think you’d thought it through
I don’t think you wanted to…

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct? 
I don’t think you wanted to…
I don’t think you’d thought it through

Then we went to Uni
Kept in touch
Went to gigs
We told the wildest stories
Laughed the hardest laughs
Danced the hardest dances
Trekked the highest paths
Got totally lost
Totally lost

Then I got married
Had two children
Got divorced
Moved away from here
Everybody moves
I’m on my own
With my mobile phone
Looking for clues
Looking for you

And when the going got tough, 
I hung on for dear life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think I’d thought it through
I don’t think I wanted to…
I don’t think I’ll fall in love… 
Again...
Lah-di-dah-di-dah
Again!
Lah-di-dah-di-dah

I wrote this song when I was traveling the world in my 20s. I arranged and wrote the instrumental parts. My former band The Borderless Puzzle recorded this version on our album Now Feel This. I'm playing the bass and singing.

Amethyst Awakening

BEEN UNWELL FOR SOME TIME, PLEASE EXCUSE THE LONG BREAKS - MAYBE THINK OF IT AS - ‘The MiGHTY PAUSE’ !
Hi there 👋 Yes! I know, the name! It is pretty hard to understand how ALL the Worlds poor can possibly be in one band!. How do we find rehearsal room space etc!? The economical costs alone are a nightmare!. Fortunately being  obviously rich m’self as I own numerous  🍎 📲‘s …..
Actually it was an ill thought out name from when the band were young and poorer. Now that there is only one member it is thankfully even more ridiculous. 
The Worldwide bit is  just me spelling United Kingdom incorrectly. - Have a listen as U may find something you like. ThePOOR as a band have always  been and will remain more than happy if one person listens to a track and thinks it ok. For them to comment,maybe to like it and save it is……!
Anyway, I’m sure you all have something  else to do :) so it's ❤️  and respec’ to all Soundcloud crew.

I use 1 app, A recycled  or rather abandoned beginners guitar, some old iPhones - often on a stick, occasionally  one other app. I have recently acquired an electric guitar, Bass and an amp and hopefully will be using them. Very pleased  to be here , it’s a fantastic place, a great community space. Cheers!! Mik-id
