‘Will we be fools again’ 
Written in September 2023 after standing in a queue in Starbucks, looking out at a wet, dirty and declining High Street.  I had been been watching the people in town, including one particular couple locked into an intense conversation under an umbrella. They prompted the story in the song. 

I wanted the backing to be sparser and more guitar led to give it an edge. I also wanted the instrumental in the middle to have a woozy, emotional feel to it. 

It’s a song about everyday people ‘stuff’ against a backdrop of a slowly deteriorating townscape. It couldn’t be slick (and I couldn’t be no matter how hard I try!) I hope you enjoy the song. Best with headphones! 

Take care

James (lyrics below) 

Will we be fools again? 

The chewing gum looks like leopard spots on the pavements in the rain
And litter blocks the drains again

Recklessly, we agreed to meet, after these silent years
Now there’s excitement and fear!

Behind the wall, by the social club, an old sanctuary for lovers 

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh 
and then I’ll start to think 
will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again? 

Graffiti on the empty shops, can our town survive?
And meanwhile we destabilise our lives! 

What fools we’d be, to lift the lid and let those lies escape 
Just think of all the hearts we’d break 

But we’re in your car, the radio’s on, as we unwrap the past! 

That smile! Those eyes!
Make me start to think
Will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again?

I’m aware, yeah I’m aware, 
I know where my fault lines are
And you’re spread right across them!  
Right across them.. yeah!

Instrumental 

Yes, we’ll talk, we’ll laugh
You know I’ll start to think
Let us be fools again
Please let us be fools again

Yes, we’ll touch, we’ll kiss
And then the path is clear
For us fools again
Let us be fools again….please, please..

James Whiteman September 2023

Will we be fools again?

heck yeah

Adagio in G Minor

YouTube

Welcome to the load-bearing wall of sound.

Music: No boundaries / Knows no boundaries. I don’t look anything like my profile photograph; I'm actually slightly shorter and a figment of my own delusions.

I’m also known as the wild man of transcendental meditation.

संगीत: कोई सीमा नहीं। / कोई सीमा नहीं जानता।. मैं अपनी प्रोफ़ाइल फ़ोटो की तरह कुछ भी नहीं देखता; मैं वास्तव में थोड़ा छोटा हूं।

Музыка: Без границ / не знает границ. Я совсем не похож на фотографию своего профиля; Я на самом деле немного короче.

الموسيقى: بلا حدود / لا تعرف حدود. لا أبدو مثل صورة ملفي الشخصي ؛ أنا في الواقع أقصر قليلاً.

音乐：无界限/无界限。我看上去不像我的个人资料照片；我实际上略矮一些。
