Duration: 28 s
Description: Welcome to the world of Oscar Bing's Half Decent Lightweights, its gritty and grimy most of the time, but we make a lovely cup of tea.

This song hits me right in the heart, beautifully raw and honest, just what folk music is all about.

you should do a "radio edit" for this track, with a sound of your choice to replace the bits a radio station won't except....

This is officially my new theme song!!! Awesome!!!

so what you're saying is...hmmm. let me think about it some more...😺

The lyrics for this song were inspired by another song Gina did - https://soundcloud.com/gina-graham/paper-planes
And thusly she mused - What if you made up with a friend (after a fight?) by throwing them a paper plane .... no words used....And it could be done out of the blue, unexpected. I think it would get a smile. 
And “yes” is often a good answer that can bring a smile also.

If you reeeeallly like Smile, you can download it here: https://catcameback.bandcamp.com/album/smile

There's also a remix we've added to Soundcloud as of July 24: https://soundcloud.com/cat-came-back/smile-zen-heartbeat-mix

Do do do do do ....
I’m going to make
Someone smile today 
It’ll be in a very simple way 
Oh so light
And no mistake 
I’m going to make 
Someone smile today 

Do do do do do ...
I’m going to make 
Someone smile today 
I’m going to tell 
Someone yes today
I’m going to be 
Someone’s high today 

Bolder than bright blue days 
Into your world
Clearer than a cool night
I’m still your girl 
Warmer than sun baked earth
Look in your eyes

You’ll be my heart pounding

Smile

Keep Me Forever

Maybe the final track in my Cloudlines series - maybe not :)
I've uploaded a video to accompany (and explain a bit)this piece:

Bizarre

A song about the agony of deciding whether to settle down or not and society's expectations around that.

Verse 1
Everyone knows better than me
What I should be wanting out of life and… what I need
To live happily
For eternity

Verse 2
Maybe one day I’ll stop settling up and settle down 
And maybe you’re the one that’s still around
When it comes to that
Would you wanna bet?

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet

Verse 3
Everyone seems to be looking for love
That special someone Disney made us all dream of
From our early days
Like there’s no other way

Verse 4 
Maybe I’m just cynical and secretly crave
That smiling knight in shining armour, so handsome and brave 
Enough to take my hand
And finally understand

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet

Bridge
At 25, there was still so much life
Ahead, at 29, we all still had plenty of time
At 33, I still wanted nothing but to be free
While half my friends had disappeared into their families
At 34 I wonder if the door’s still open
Or/and if a part of me is actually hoping 
For something I never thought I wanted
And if I don’t get it I’ll forever be haunted
Or if do, I’ll wake up from someone else’s dream
To find a fairytale you’re trapped in is nightmarish scene

Verse 5
Everyone wants someone to hold
If I search long enough I’ll find a fitting nut for this bolt 
Or some other cliché
Will take my breath away

Verse 6
But maybe there’s more than one way to live your life
And maybe mine doesn’t involve two kids and a guy
Or maybe I’ll look back (one day)
On what I could have had…

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet...
