@the-glen-granthem-band: It worked out great.

Oh this is a fabulous track guys , well done !

Cheerful music. Lyrics are a bit ambiguous ie not entirely cheerful at all. Thinking about people who have died and growing old... almost like being pushed out by babies being born ... and so the cycle continues  Where does the individual belong in all this?

Oh yeah, such a nice and easy feel with some fine vocal blending. Smooth and ultimately provides a really enjoyable vehicle to tell the tale we will all encounter, along the way. Great job guys!! Durge

This song has a great feel to it... Well sung, cool harmonies and music.

I really like the backing vocals in here, sounds really good

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

Pick it up - Put it down
There's nothing in my head
Pick it up - Put it down
Till I regain the thread

Wish I could - But I can't
Suppose I never will
Wish I could - But I can't
Make the time stand still

Chorus

TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG
TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THIS WHERE I BELONG

Time has flown - Winds have blown
Now look at where we are
Time has flown - Winds have blown
We've not come very far

Feeling tired - Growing old
Trying to kid myself
Feeling tired - Growing old
I could be someone else

CHORUS

BRIDGE

What have I forgotten
It seems so strange
What I have forgotten
It’ll never be the same

Solo

Thinking straight - Knew the score
Nothing in my way
Thinking straight - Knew the score
Seems just like yesterday

Another day - Another night
Another morning dawns
Another day - Another night
Wish I could right the wrongs

Way back when - Long ago
When everything was clear
Way back when - Long ago
Now I just shed a tear

Say hello - Say goodbye
Another one has gone
Say goodbye - Say hello
Another one's, Another one's been born 

CHORUS x 2 to the end

Pick It Up (Cooper/Donkin/Granthem Collaboration)

I am an unsigned singer/songwriter from Sunderland in the north east UK.

I have been writing songs for a few years now and have CD's on various web sites such as CD Baby, Itunes , Spotify etc.  My goal is to write good songs and hopefully have come up with a few along the way.

I love wring and recording songs – it gives me great pleasure staring from nothing but a blank piece of paper and finally coming up with something that sounds good.

I have collaborated with other people while being on Soundcloud – my long-time partner Ralph Donkin writes exceedingly good lyrics and between us have come up with many a good song.

My other partner Glen Granthem from Sacramento in USA has also been inspirational in my recordings – he is a very talented musician and producer and has brought life to many of my songs that otherwise would have been second rate.  We also have collaborated on many songs.

I have written songs with other people and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their endeavours.

Thank you for all of you that have listened and commented on my songs and those who will in the future.  I am very grateful that you stopped by and listened – hope you have enjoyed what you have heard.

Again many thanks and good luck for the future in your musical endeavours.
