Will they, or won’t they? What did you take from it?
Do say, or don’t say, but get it out the way. 
Maybe, just maybe, you keep me hanging on, 
Don’t take this the wrong way, but even we can see it, clear as day…

But it’s the same thing that happens every day, 
All the time they’re edging closer, then they back away,
Just a little step from going all the way,
Will they or won’t they? 

Will they or won’t they? You aren’t the only one
My way or the highway, the same as anyone
More luck than yesterday? Nothing to come undone
Who labelled us this way? Our time has just begun…

They’re drawn closer together, then they pull away, 
They’re thinking the same things, but feeling scared to say,
But they’re both afraid to take a step away, 
Will they or won’t they? 

Will they or won’t they, at the same time,
Walk through the doorway, I’m getting sick and tired
Will they or won’t they, no there’s nothing else
Prices we won’t pay, [or will we?]

But it’s the same thing that happens every day, 
All the time they’re edging closer, then they back away,
Just a little step from going all the way,
Will they or won’t they?

Will They Or Won't They

In the Dark (music and lyrics R Sterling) was first written and recorded a few years back.  It is a very catchy Stones type rock/pop song.  Emily belts it out in this new arrangement.  Thanks for having a listen. We hope you like it! If so, please don't hesitate to share.  we love reposts. Cheers

Stripes 2025 arrangement 1

Stripes was first written and demoed a few years back.  It's a strange song written in a strange tuning (open B minor for those interested). It features a repeating riff that grinds through the song. Slightly different arrangement, and Emily belts this version out of the park.  Hope you like it and as always please let others know about what we're doing. Cheers

Old Blue Door (RC Sterling, J Irving) is a collaboration between Jackie and myself in the best possible way.  I wrote and arranged the music and Jackie constructed the lyrics/vocal line. This is a newly rearranged version of our earlier take on this melancholy song.  We hope you like it.  If so, please let others know about our work. We love reposts. Cheers

Old Blue Door 2025 rearranged

After All That We've Been Through (RC Sterling) is a new number, based on a slightly older idea that I've had hanging around. It's a piano based, rock song that Emily belts out emotively.  We hope that you like this track - it was a lot of fun to produce.  If you do like what you've heard, please let others know and don't hesitate to repost. Thanks for having a listen. Cheers.

After All That We've Been Through 2025

Never Knew had an earlier incarnation as a 1980s U2 styled song but has gone through a bit of a reincarnation here as a bluesy number. Emily provided the vocal template on this reimagined number. We hope that you like it! If so, please let others know about our little team here. We welcome all reposts.  Thanks for having a listen! Cheers

Never Knew What I Was Looking For Rearranged 2025

More Than a Game is a melancholy, slow rock song that we've just rearranged (because we can!).  It's been around a few years and we decided to refresh it.  We hope you like this version as much as we do.

More than a Game Rearranged 2025

Things Left Unsaid is another collaboration between Jackie Irving and myself where I wrote and recorded the music and she crafted these rather cryptic lyrics.  It's a slinky/funky tune with a sinewy groove.  We hope you like this new take on the song. As always please let others know and feel free to repost. Thanks for having a listen. Cheers

Things Left Unsaid 2025 arrangement

A songwriting/recording project initiated to focus on the writing talents of Robert Sterling as well as several very talented collaborators/singers.  Older, wiser and definitely better, Sterling and colleagues continue to pump out irresistibly catchy pop/rock/alternative tunes.
