Ain't Nobody Like You

Aesthete

In day light
All we ever and always
See is blue

My one flight
Will be higher than either 
Lies or truth

Home! Home!

By day light
All hope ever believed
May fall through

See us through

Father, can you take it away?
Sister, can you kill it today?

digging it...

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

SULTRY - Cyclone Mix [Event 49]

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..

I picked up the guitar for the first time in a while the other day, and started messing around with a coin, an octave pedal and an old spare tremelo arm, just for fun.

Strong Together - Paploviante And ♤

I am spending most of my free time writing novels at the moment - links below for the curious and the rakish.
Third one just released. I hope it will excite and appal.

I am a proud co-collaborator with many splendid artists in my dozen or so years on this strange, beautiful platform. I don't exist anywhere else. At least not to my knowledge. If this is all there was, it was enough.
Time is our only enemy 
Be good
Nick
