This is what's missing in today's pop music.  Well thought out tune, executed to perfection. In another universe, in another time, this would be heading to #1 with a bullet.  Very nicely done!!

@user-138663860: Thanks Sandy for all your kind comments

Ah - missed this but glad I picked up the repost - super stuff Paul - kinda Beautiful South tones - stunningly easy to like.

This is the epitome of a great lyric poignant and wit at the same time. And boy what a tune!

I know I should’ve seen the signs. They kept on saying, “It’ll turn out fine.
That’s the price you pay, when your resume
Doesn’t really say what’s in your heart.
Nobody else had a clue, none of them told me, or acted like they knew.
It was full-steam ahead, make a living, earn that bread.
Walking through the motions, play the part.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

I thought I was right on track. Full-steam ahead, there’s no going back.
There were ups and downs, but I always found
A place on holy ground that hit the spot.
Just play your role, be a friend, don’t take a chance, and dear God, don’t offend.
There were baby steps, but most the time, they slept,
Never get specific, never hot.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

Guess you can say I survived. I went into battle, and I came out alive.
And this song I sing doesn’t change a thing.
I’ll be clinging tight to what I’ve got.
Maybe my time’s not yet up. Maybe I still have a drink from that cup.
Gotta keep on tryin’, it’ll turn out fine.
Maybe I have figured out what’s what.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

Legend of Scott

I don’t think we got off on the right foot 
have you met my dad and mom, how could that be good? 
you’re telling me to overcome all my past and history 
telling me to just become better than I’m supposed to be  
I don’t think I know how

so don’t look down, I’m falling 
and I don’t how I wound up like this 
I’ll figure this out, hard to fix 
baby don’t look now, I’m broken 

I would have been better off on my own 
instead I was taught to trust no one 
you’re telling me I’m too angry  
that I should act a certain way 
but you don’t know the things I’ve seen 
and I don’t know what else to say 
I’ll try everything I can to be a better man 

so don’t look down, I’m falling 
and I don’t how I wound up like this 
I’ll figure this out, hard to fix 
baby don’t look now, I’m broken 

so don’t look down, I’m falling 
and I don’t how I wound up like this 
I’ll figure this out, hard to fix 
baby don’t look now, I’m broken 

yeah don’t look down, I’m falling 
and I don’t how I wound up like this 
I’ll figure this out, hard to fix 
baby don’t look now, I’m broken

The Last Beluga Whale - Gert Holle 
Vor vier Jahren schrieb ich mit „The Last Beluga Whale“ einen für mich sehr wichtigen Song, mit dem ich aufrütteln wollte. Seitdem ist das Engagement für Umwelt, für unsere Zukunft allgemein leider spürbar eingebrochen. Auch wenn es in der medialen Wahrnehmung in den Hintergrund getreten ist: Die Lebensräume vieler Arten sind mehr denn je bedroht. Populationen schrumpfen gewaltig. Höchste Zeit zu handeln. Deswegen wiederhole ich heute noch einmal meinen Appell: Mache mit und setze dem Klimawandel und Artensterben Dein Engagement entgegen. Nehme nicht so einfach hin, dass wir das Leben vieler Geschöpfe unserem Gott des Wachstums opfern. Wir können etwas verändern, wir müssen etwas ändern. Mir liegt etwas daran, dass die sogenannte „letzte Generation“ nicht die „letzte Generation“ wird. Und Dir und Euch geht es nicht anders. Davon bin ich überzeugt. – Alles Liebe, Gert Holle.

Four years ago, I wrote “The Last Beluga Whale,” a song that was very important to me and with which I wanted to shake people up. Since then, commitment to the environment and to our future in general has unfortunately declined noticeably. Even though it has faded into the background in media coverage, the habitats of many species are more threatened than ever. Populations are shrinking dramatically. It is high time to act. That is why I am repeating my appeal today: join in and counter climate change and species extinction with your commitment. Don't just accept that we are sacrificing the lives of many creatures to our god of growth. We can make a difference, we must make a difference. It is important to me that the so-called “last generation” does not become the “last generation.” And I am convinced that you feel the same way. – All the best, Gert Holle.

Last Beluga Whale

The last falcon in the sky
circles across the desert land.
We take care of ourselves,
ignoring the changes in the world.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We did not understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The last beluga whale
plows through the plastic-strewn sea.
We do not want to see:
We are living beyond the means.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We didn’t understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

Bridge:
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
Wonder: How could tomorrow ever follow then.
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
We have to awake – right now!
I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The children of the earth
begin to awake and cry.
Hope will never end,
but we have to start to change.
It’s almost too late,
but the future is not giving up yet.
We just have to see:
less could be more – most certainly.

I am confident,
closure in our hearts can change.
Come on - get on your way,
take the tiny chance – right now.

Get Out The Vote - Georg Boehme / Les Thomas / Jamie Rhind

He's got a smile like Harrison Ford
Don't really know him
Think he might come from the back of beyond
north of Dunfermline

She's got a face like Kylie Minogue
Looks kinda lovely
They say she might be a natural blonde
She's really something

Well I don't know what you're doing tonight
But I'm hoping you might read my mind
I don't  know what you're doing tonight

He sits and stares at his northern souls
looks kinda scruffy
Think he might be my favourite fool
It's really nothing

She pulls at hems of her favourite coat
think it's a burberry
Humming the lines of her favourite note
Wish I was lucky

Now I don't know what you're doing tonight
but I'm hoping you might get it right
And I don't know what you're doing tonight

Do-do-do-doooh

(You look like you're always crushing
holding on for sometime somethings)
Oh sometime something..

Sometime Something
