beautiful in every possible way from writing to execution, and then you bring in that gorgeous slide

Such a good song....love your guitar and vocals

5 Star Commended Entry in the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest.

Written after an early spring morning breakfast by the local river surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. I had plans to record more instruments but decided the simplicity of just the acoustic guitar & vocals sounded just right and suited the mood of the song.

Going to the riverside, in the early morning,
Find a place to sit down, stretch and do some yawning,
Sitting by the riverside, watching life go by, life go by,

Birds are looking busy, gathering different grasses,
Busy building nests in amongst the hidden branches,
Sitting by the riverside, watching life go by, life go by,

The peaceful waters flow, so slow, downstream,
Laying down I know, I can go into a daydream,

The ducks are tipping forwards, I guess they're going fishing,
I can't see what they're catching, that's something that I'm missing,
Sitting by the riverside, watching life go on, life go on,

There's no one else here, to see the fish a-jumping,
Just the sounds of nature and gentle waters rumbling,
Sitting by the riverside, watching life go on, life go on,

The peaceful waters flow, so slow, downstream,
Laying down I know, I can go into a daydream,

Going to the riverside, in the early morning,
Find a place to sit down, stretch and do some yawning,
Sitting by the riverside, watching life go by, life go by,
Sitting by the riverside, watching life go by, life go by,

The Riverside Song

The nights are drawing in this time of the year in the northern hemisphere - time for curling up in the warmth of home....

The Nights Are Drawing In

Just finishing off a few songs that have been saved throughout 2023 so that I can start afresh again in the new year.

At The Corner Again

So on this one we have Jim Sanders on the drums, Dave Toolan and Charlie Villiers on guitar, and myself on the bass and singing (it’s Dave you can hear adding some lovely high harmonies here and there as well). I wrote the music and words. As usual it was recorded just with the ipad on a shelf in the corner, hopefully you get the jist.

~Lyrics~
I’ve been running around all day
From London Bridge to Grand Parade
And the one thing that spurs me on
A promised land where I belong

A band of legends in my mind
The most esteemed and much maligned
And I thought I was alone
To think I nearly stayed at home

You were the one with the rueful smile
I was the one who could run a mile
It’s all coming back to me now
Your joie de vie is infectious
So carefree that it’s reckless
Ha, it’s all coming back to me now

Music and dancing, and the joy of laughing
And crashing through the decades as we fell
We took a moment right there on the floor
To marvel at the evening’s carousel

And I know I might only say it when I’m drunk
but it’s true never the less
I love you with all my heart and soul
And there’s only one thing that really breaks my heart
…my biggest regret…
I just wish we saw each other more.

Lyrics:

It became dark when you left
Only the moon gave some light
How see the sun without you
When my heart is broken in two...?

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light..

I know I can be a bit weird
Stupid things that I say and do
But one thing was always so clear for me
I found my light in you..

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light...

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light...

It’s not played perfectly, recorded perfectly, mixed perfectly or mastered perfectly, but perfection is not what I’m after.  If I’m happy with it I’ll post it.  If I’m bored of it I’ll post it.
