no slack/ cool track/full of style/all wild

An excellent story in an equally excellent song!

i like the conversational quality to the vocals/lyrics.

Reminds me of those good ole 80's rock band tunes

Great track with some retro feeling. Enjoyed a lot!

Ha! just saw this on my stream and couldn't resist another listen! 😊

So unique. Strange and gritty. I Like it!

Written for a family whose child has a medical problem, and because they were poor were were wrongly accused of it being the mother's fault. They battled the courts for four years.  He recently passed on from brainstem neurodegenerative disease that he had when the nightmare began.  Mayo Clinic now has his brain for research as his condition was so rare.

She’s a single mother with a very low income			
He’s an eight year old who knows there’s nothing that he’s done
To be torn from his mother, his sisters and his brother
It’s the only life he knew and he loved it like not other

But you don’t give up, you don’t give up, you don’t give up, or give in
You know; you don’t give up, you don’t give up, you don’t give up, or give in

We’re always thinking of you Aaron, you’re always on our mind
We know your lonely, you know we love you all the time
How can some strangers say what’s good for you or I
There’s one who knows best, look in the child’s eye

The world is crumbling round me, its in a dizzy spin
With all I see and hear, my heart is full and breaking
I could end up on a mountain top or in a deep prison
But I know I never, never give up or give in

But we won't give up, we won't give up, we won't give up, or give in
You know; we won't give up, we won't give up, we won't give up, or give in

Don't Give Up

OPC - Don't Give Up

Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?

1.
I looked up to the sky this afternoon, 
The clouds were so ragged 
And there was even a half moon 
Peeking out between the two lime trees, 
I remember, I thought I would write a song about it 
But actually 

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

2.
I wanted to write about something completely different, 
Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?
But I had to postpone that because of the view 
It was so homely and beautiful and it was just not at all 
Time to have indignant and stirred up feelings and thoughts

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?

3.
In the meantime a bird crossed my view of sight
Passing from the right over to the left side
And snapshot-like 
i spotted it in front of the moon
Oh, as i looked up at the sky this afternoon…

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?…        (da capo al fine)

Ms. Morning  Smiles

Too late two-lane road
You know the one I mean
One of those can't wait
to get around em kind of streets

Gotta See my baby cause I made her cry
Got a slammin' phone goodbye
I'm just a little too late
on this two-lane road tonight

Ten trucks deep in traffic
all goin' to the morgue
Mary's texting Johnny
Johnny's texting George
It's a sad, sad situation
10 miles and hour I crawl
too late on a two-lane road
half a world from home

A favorite off of the incredible Joshua Tree album.  And so she woke up .  Woke up from where she was.  Lying still.  Said I, got to do something about where we're going...
