You deserve to be famous for making this. 🙏😪

a wee wander down the ole river road.........many thanks for listening
written by Netta&Mcgill

well i don't mind saying, if you don't mind
we been over this thing, now a thousand times
and it always ends the same way, so take my hand and hold
let's take a walk, down the old river road

we'll wander past the station, overgrown with grass so green
wash our faces in the water, from the nearby stream
you can't beat that fresh clean air, and if the truth be told
there's some secrets there
down the old river road

you might find it in the summer time
or you could be stranded there in the cold
looking for some warmth and shelter
down the old river road

goodbye to old lovers, where are all my friends
gotta make ends meet, so we can meet at the end
lets take the time, before we get too old, to appreciate
the old river road
down the old river road

The Old River Road

Remember those awkward days of our youth? A sort of wasteland of not-quite-adult but not a kid? Testing out style, language, gestures, attitude, hair styles, likes and dislikes, romances, tongue-tied moments of embarrassment. All of these years eventually sorted itself out and we headed out into adulthood, with  more or less determination to be successful. Or was that a fear of being unsuccessful that guided us? Tumultuous times. Awkward.

Lyrics:
The Awkward Squad

    Why don’t you mind your business? Like I mind mine
    Why dontcha get ya finger out? And tap it in time
    Why do you throw a tantrum? And huff and puff away
    And when you’re outa your depth…you simply sail away!

    Who-hoo-hoo…The awkward squad (x2)

    I don’t like to look at you…You make me feel quite queer
    You make me feel uncomfortable… When you sat “Hello       dear”
    I don’t like your haircut…Don’t like your clothes
    Don’t like the way, a dew-drop hangs off your… nose!
    Awk, Awk...The awkward squad

    Awk, Awk…You’re in the awkward squad (x2)

    I dance just like a donkey…A donkey with three legs
    I never look you in the eye…Because it makes me …blush
    I st/st/st/stumble over all my words…Forever full of              shame
    And now I come to look at you…I know you’re just the          same!
    Awkward…The awkward squad

    Awkward…I’m in the awkward squad (x2)

A new composition with a theme of meeting up with old friends after years gone by....

Lyrics

After all these years
We meet and talk again
Catching up on a distant past
That seemed like only yesterday


We chose our different paths
The future unknown
Life's twists and turns
Leaving us on our own


Seems like only yesterday
Regrets of what could have been
Paths diverged, memories stay
But maybe we'll meet again


Time may have changed us
But the memories remain
In the corners of our minds
A connection that will never wane



As we part ways once more
Let's hold on to these memories
For in those moments, we shared
Our friendship will forever last.

After All These Years (Remaster)

A blend of some mostly synthwave and pop styles, and glitch synth with a touch of old school synth sound as well. 

If we learn from our failures and mistakes, then it falls to reason that everyone should make plenty in their journey to wisdom and success.
