Love the lyrics. Im sure lots of us can identify with them. The arrangement really works. Love it!

Brilliant sentiment Terry. The CCR song Lodi springs to mind,"I rode in on a Greyhound,I'll be walking down when I go". As ever the instumentation is so well imagined and performed. A Wigmore classic.

The cats got the right idea........a song for so many cloudies but being creative is what keeps most of us going.

Man that first verse speaks such a universal truth! Great song!!

Put down a little something with a bit of an Italian twist.

Village Of Dreams

Free D/L at www.terrywigmore.com A little personal experience poured out in this one. It will resonate with anyone who always believed in "one day" : one day something will come of this, one day it'll all work out, one day someone famous will cover this song, one day...one day.
We're not saying anyone should give up, but don't forget all the joy along the way to the elusive, "one day" that may or may not be in the cards for any of us.
And as we ponder life from the street view of a frustrated songwriter, think of all the "one days" that so many in Ukraine will never have, just to keep it all in perspective.

Lyrics:

I've got so many songs
Written on scraps of paper,
Tossed into bins
in every house I've lived in
Taken up space on hard drives,
thumb drives, Cd's ,cassettes,
I even pressed a vinyl.

Done so many, but not a penny (2x)
Done so...many

I've lost so many songs on the verge of that perfect mix
through a system crash,  hard drive failure
I've had so many songs that I thought I could
just make it
If someone would 
just give it a listen

oohh...give it a listen

na-na-na-na (repeat)

Now I'm hustlin' at open mic's
Busking on street corners of some nameless small town
Hopin' for enough coins to get a coffee  (oh-no)
Just a coffee...

Gone are the dreams I used to harbour
Gone are the dreams of...more than a penny

Done so many
I've done so many

Ive done many, but never a penny 
I've done so many    (repeat these 2 lines)

Done So Many

This is a collaborative dub with my friend Chris Maness (@cgmàness), who is shredding the guitar in this one. It's not based on any particular song, just what my fingers found to the beat. I love dub, as you can probably tell from my song catalogue. If you're interested in doing one with me, please contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com. I can either work on yours, or you can work on one of mine.

Here's another little window into a collab with deft musical novelist and translator of feels, holy shitshow (@user-649412648). This track peeks in on the tale of a pastor, his vice, and his ever-receding chance at redemption. We catch him on a drive, head back, windows down, two fingers hooked on the bottom of the steering wheel, contemplating ...

summertime
6 o'clock in the evening
don't know if i'm
waking or sleeping again

i woke at dawn's light
for the first time in months
clothes still packed
in the trunk
for the journey west

and you and me
we went out in an open top car
that flashing lightning
torrential rain

and you and me
we went out driving
we didn't go very far
a sweet journey nonetheless

o holiday
take me away
from the everyday
into the otherworld
holiday
in the sun
take me away
from every thing i've done
make me a better man, again

my head is under the water
my head is under the water
my head is under the water

o strange sign
somewhere between
the otherworld
and the everyday

strange how our lives
hang in the balance
across the precipice....

and there is a gentle breeze
upon the summit
and a darting bird...
april the first

and vi-o-lets......

and violets
in your words

and in my head i said
'it's summertime again'
and in my mind i said
it's summer time again

a gentle breeze
wafting on the summit
where the river flows uphill
where the river flows
uphill
uphill

heart ache

rows of faces at the bus stop
in newtownards
on a traffic island

with a run down pub
seen better days
still got the smell of the sundays
in the floorboards
and damp in the timbers

new roads have swallowed up
a little part of the old town
slow erased your memories
the drunken nights
bar-room fights
and innerworlds

i went outside
into the summer heat
no time to wallow in defeat
cause it's summertime
again

sea
sea is inside you
sea birds
sea shells
you can hear the sea
breathing
in your
ear
see shells
purple light
california
gleaming and glistening
spinning right between my eyes
california
[you have me hyp-no-tized]
deep south
of southern california
midday heat
sugar sweet

it's summertime

Connecting, creating and sharing with others has been quite a transformative experience and one that I trust will continue for years to come. I enjoy listening to musicians on SC, and try to leave encouraging and descriptive comments.
