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

Thinking Real Hard dates back to a very eventful New Years Eve.  Words were said, feelings were bruised, songs were written.  TRH is a bitter and angry love song that rocks.  We hope you like it.  As always, if you like what you hear, please do not hesitate to let other know and share.  We welcome all reposts.  Cheers.

Thinking Real Hard 2025 (Remix)

Our Time in the Sun (Sterling, Irving) is a collaboration between Jackie Irving (lyrics) and me (music).  We first recorded 3-4 years ago and I decided to reimagine the track recently. It's a melancholy song that sort of floats like a cloud.  We do hope you like it and share it with others. Thanks for having a listen. Cheers

How Come (RC Sterling) was first written and recorded a few years back.  As part of the new arrangement series, I've rebuilt the music around Emily's vocals.  She belts this one.  How Come is a pretty hard driving tune.  Thanks for having a listen.  As always, if you like what we're doing, please let others know. Cheers!!!!

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.

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

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.
