I’ve mentioned to a few people my habit of knocking out a quick song and then forgetting it. Everyone says “run a tape recorder and capture them”. But that would destroy the art of it – a song created, performed and forgotten all in 10 minutes or however long it takes a video or some file to render. Well I knocked one out just now and ran a recorder. The singing is crap and it’s just 40 seconds long. However, the whole song is there in 40 secs, it’ll never be any longer. For those in the know nudge nudge, let’s call it my South Stanley song.
‘You can never go back but you can head on home.’
Too true
i’ve got a forty second song. i bet you could make it into at least another minte. Another Grove lad who thinks he can write)
‘Hurry Home’ has so many memories for me that when I just found the song on youtube I had to follow it up by looking at its composer. I went on to look at your site and noticed something else that struck a particular chord with me…..’Latest Blogs…Never Go Back’. I have just had a second autobiographical book published and this is something that I included…
Don’t go back, it just is not there
The life you once had, it is nowhere
It can’t be found, what doesn’t exist
Don’t go back, there’s nothing you missed
Don’t go back, you know that it’s true
Nothing that’s there belongs to you
Past is for learning, future’s to live
Don’t go back, it’s got nothing to give
Don’t go back, there’s much to be done
Life that is spent is good for no-one
You’re needed here, here’s where to be
Don’t go back, we’ve the future to see
Thank you for Hurry Home.
