Awesome! I really like the early-80s vibe, the melancholic lyrics, and the beautifully plaintive singing.

Really love this Steve. “Yer old tosser! Haa haa !” love to family Bro!

Loving all of your music...great sounds...:)

Great song! Love the hihat! This is actually among the best music I heard on Soundcloud!

Really nice work. Yeah man. Very good vocals.

I hope everyone is well and staying positive in these difficult and unsure times!  I hope this brings a little bit of joy to your day.

You Don’t Want Me To Stay 

I took the long way to get here
I traveled up the coast
You have a strange way to sense fear
My face is like a ghost
My eyes are gazing past you
To where the wind might hark
The sun is crashing into
The enigmatic dark

It’s what I’ve seen Its what I know
I parked my car along the road
I raced to spy, I hurried so
Around the site a crowd had grown
I saw her eyes, a woman died
Her scattered things lay at her side
When I get home and end my day
I pour a drink, you turn away
You don’t want me to stay

I heard a sad, soft whisper
Quiver in the wind
The rains filled up the cisterns
As I confessed my sins
My life has faded into
A version of myself
I saw the changes in you
And where the blame had fell

It’ s what I’ve seen Its what I’ve heard
I took a walk, it took a turn
I met a man I’m sure I owe
He chased me down a cobble road
I lost my way, the sky got black
I feel regret as I look back
I touch your arms and kiss your neck
You pull away, my heart is vexed
You don’t me to stay
