I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Lyrics: 
We‘re The Solution

We‘ve got to hurry
cause time is flying.
We‘ve got to worry
cause the planet is dying.

You may think 
you can leave us crying,
but we‘re trying
to change things up.

Be the solution
to all the pollution you see. 
Unfortunately, we‘re the problem too.
Both me and you.
So sad but true.

No plant B,
Lakes are drying out,
Millions of seabirds are dying out.
It makes me
wanna cry out loud,
We‘re going down!

It‘s up to us to rearrange.
All of Europe needs to mak a change.
Planet earth‘s no longer the same.
We‘re going down, down, down.

Be the solution
to all the pollution you see. 
Unfortunately, we‘re the problem too.
Both me and you.
So sad but true.

We‘re the solution!

We’re the solution
to all the pollution, but we,
unfortunately, we‘re the problem too.
Both me and you.
So sad but true.

We’re The Solution

One of my favorites from Sting.  Great songwriting, and every instrumental part is perfect.  And a reference to a Shakespeare Sonnet!

I am not a professional musician, I write music in different styles exclusively for myself. Every month a new one-two tracks! I will be glad to collaborate with interested performers and producers. 
The constant howling of sirens and the incessant shelling of peaceful cities. People are dying ... Who needs all this?
