Very nice catchy tune Phil..Captivating & mesmerizing atmosphere..great mix & recording!

 another excellent song...reinforced with those excellent instrumental breaks 👍👍

excellent, Phil! I love it. I was locked up in Jail for the whole month august one year. I can relate to longings to see the sky but being trapped in overwhelmingly cold concrete cell and minimal comforts...

Love the synth riff with this groove- what a combo!

All My Yesterdays (Lyrics)

My mind ain't what it used to be
Now playing tricks on me
Places and faces I don't recall

Is this my bed, is this my home
Why these thoughts please Leave me alone
Who am I what's it all coming to

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

When I wake I think I don't know
Looking for those who passed long ago
Oh why is this happening to me

Its such a strange such a lonely place
Thoughts leave you without a trace 
All my memories are slipping away

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

I see something warm in your eyes
Struggle with your name I try and recognize
I'm sorry but this isn't me

Hold my hand comfort me
I know you now momentarily
How I wish this moment would last

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading 

As song I wrote and recorded for an Alzheimer's charity! A subject very dear to me. Apart from funds raised it was also to highlight awareness to this heartbreaking condition.

All My Yesterdays - Original Song

We are born and live in a concrete world that surrounds us not realising the impact on the environment around us. We are trapped in an ever decreasing cycle of climate change and we don't see that "the grass doesn't grow here anymore". The conflict of happiness that modernism brings contrasts to the erosion and effect it is creating on the planet as a whole. It seems that there is so little space and yet so much time but we can't even hear a single word.

Lyrics
The grass doesn’t grow here anymore
Said the jailer to the birds
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a single word

The only type of peace that you will find
When you’re fast asleep and all you have are dreams
So little space and so much time
You choose your life. That’s so it seems

Go down your heart
Go down your soul
You can find good reason why you are there
Go down your heart
Go down your soul
Wishing that you are elsewhere….. alright

All I want is to see the sky
That’s all I ask before I die

The grass doesn’t grow here anymore
Said the jailer to the birds
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a single word
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a single word
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a word.

The Grass Doesn't Grow Here Anymore

Lyrics:-
Once upon a time 
There was a grand magician
He would put on shows
To make the people gasp
In disbelief
All the Kings and Queens
Would ask him to their castles
They showered him with riches
And his popularity increased

Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale 
Be mindful of the trickery, the swindle
It's a smoke and mirrors plan
Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale
In pulling back the curtain
No surprise
There is an ordinary man

Now we have 
Celebrities and Politicians
Putting on an act
To entertain the folk
And keep them none the wise
All the kings and queens
Still ask them to their castles
Still shower them with riches
So they toe the party
Toe the party line

Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale 
Be mindful of the trickery, the swindle
It's a smoke and mirrors plan
Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale
In pulling back the curtain
No surprise
There is an ordinary man

Fairytale

Goodbye Earth

"Yada, yada, yada da...dada dada....daaaa....uhhh...." she stopped moving. Her hands holding her head, she felt herself starting to slip.  Perhaps this solitude and no response has started to get to her she thought.  

"How much longer before I have to face this lonliness and anger? How much more can I take?"  she said outloud to herself, like normal at this point.  Crouching by one of the fold down tables, she rocked back and forth holding herself.  She trembled while her arms were wrapped around her body trying to comfort and console herself long enough to enact protocol 7-3Z6A.

She had finished assembling two more sections of greenroom that she had recovered from one of companion ships which had crashed approximately 10km northwest of the cave system that she inhabited.  Having all of rooms full of greenery that was thriving due to the purity of the concentrated Co2 ice that she had been sublimating to feed them, thus creating an inhabitable environment.

She spent a lot of time talking to the plants, but she knew that with the anger and desperation welling up inside of her and reaching its breaking point closer and closer each day, that she had to set the system to run the automation that she had programmed.
Shortly after this, she collapsed into the decent of madness.

Locking herself away from the lab for a 2 week set period on the locks themselves, she had all her basic needs in this room she had been living in as her own little apartment.  The few remnants of what she brought from Earth out here decorated the shelving and table space.  She had even brought a few ferns into this space to add a little life to the otherwise dull looking room.  

She started to cry. She started to cry tears of horrific sadness and dispair. Thrashing her body about and beating on the metal walls, her screams reached the spectrum of blood curdling wails.  She had finally abandoned all hope of ever seeing another human being again.  She was truly in Hell.  After running around in circles screaming bloody murder, she tripped over the leg of her bed. As soon as her head hit the ground, she blacked out.

Vera awoke 2 days later with a massive headache and a parched mouth.  
She went straight for the water.
