Lovely, calm track, or should I say, "simply wonderful"? The drum beat gives this a country folk feel. I love the whistle in the middle!

I feel instantly at ease while I listen to this. The power of music, eh? Lovely.

Lovely. Mellow. Love me a bit of whistling, too...

Very original sound. Love the lyrics 👏

Original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

Don't take the colour from my dreams,
Don't make me see in black and white,
There's no sense to it,
A love so delicate, 
All of the things.
I think I lost along the way, I must admit it.
In the early morning light, I sometimes feel I miss it.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man.
                       
I still have a touch of that fatal charm,
You still have a blush in your cheeks.
been away too long,   
And it feels so wrong
I feeling paranoid,
Wrap me up,. in my dreams.
Restless as I lay here, I need to get some sleep.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man...

Melancholy Blue

I'd Die a Happy Man

I'D DIE A HAPPY MAN

🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
