Song Sketch with basic vocal idea

Lyrics:

Burn the sheets
Burn the bed
Burn the memories
In your head
Close the door
Close the book
On all the
Love we took

Because it, was never really ours
Despite the years and days and hours
We put in
Looking back, why did you and I begin

Shut your mouth
Shut your eyes
Shut out every
Fucking lie
Face the facts
Face the truth
The overwhelming proof

That this love, was never really ours
Despite the years and days and hours
We put in
Looking back, why did you and I begin

Promise me that you won't ever look back
No never, never, never, never, again

Never Really Ours

This song is dedicated to my gran Phyllis Tewson whose husband died in his fifties. She lived in the same house on her own until she couldn’t look after herself in her late eighties. She was an inspiration to me and she never complained about her lot. Always took an interest in young people and was enthusiastic about all the crap that I shared with her in spite of my naivety. I think about her a lot.

35 years

PAR ECRIT

Such a joy to have Martin Lucas (The Celturian) on this instrumental piece. He is a hugely gifted musician, and I'm honoured to have him on board. His contribution really enhances this simple composition. https://soundcloud.com/the-celturian

Ruah (ft The Celturian)

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

Lyrics

What about salvation?
(Asking for a friend)
Is it too late to learn guitar?
(Asking for a friend)
What about reincarnation?
(Asking for a friend)

Is New York already safe?
(Asking for a friend)
Has the debate taught us anything?
(Asking for a friend)
Can crises be averted?
(Asking for a friend)

Can I get myself into new Zealand?
(Asking for a friend)
Can one get oneself tested?
(Asking for a friend)
Is love still a proposition?
(Asking for a friend)

The title was taken from a tweet by Sean Ono Lennon, when he 'asked for a friend' (#askingforafriend) if it is possible to get a resident permit in New Zealand.
