This is song 452, which was written in 2001 to a tune that was created within a year before.  As the title indicates, it was written about myself and my mate (who was the other half of ‘The Lost & Found’ and featured only on guitar in this song) but can refer to many things in life to.

This is one my favourite songs to date and I am very pleased to reincarnate it from a very dodgy tape recording done back in 2001.   Vocals were added on 18th May, 2018.   This recording costed £0.00, but an hour or so initially recording it back in 2001 and a few hours during 18th and 19th May, 2018.   This explains why the quality isn’t to the standard of songs on the radio or SoundCloud, but it is the best I can do with a recording this old.

I hope people like it as much I do.

Life is a funny old thing and sometimes you try your best and nothing comes of it, except hassle.  I am currently on stress leave due to annoyances at work (mainly).   Time out is the only answer and, for me, writing a song is the usual solution.  So, today, I wrote, ‘It Is What It Is’ which I think contains some lines I’ve used before, but so what!  It is what it is.

Hello people,

I now have 2 months left to complete this website, but what happens after that who knows. I will endeavour to spruce the website up a bit, with pics or videos maybe, but let’s not promise too much just yet. This month I have recorded 3 new songs already, but SoundCloud is not gaining the listeners as much as it used to. This could be due to the fact that the songs this month aren’t so good, or because followers are listening and liking them via my Twitter site. I must admit I have not spent very long recording the last two and I guess it could be my own fault, lol. Anyway, thank you to those that are listening and reading my lyrics, whether it be on Twitter, FaceBook or SoundCloud. I will try and spend a bit more time perfecting the next songs this month.

Hi all,

I’m now about to go away for a few days playing golf in France, but at least I managed to record a couple of songs this week.  ‘In The Doghouse’ was a very old song which I finally got around to recording on my own, but ‘My Special Friend’ was turned from just lyrics into a song in one session earlier this week and recorded instantly.  I had no idea how I intended this song to sound, but within moments it developed into the song it is (and now on SoundCloud).  I was so pleased with the mic I used for ‘My Special Friend’ and can’t wait to use it on all future songs.   As well as recording these two songs I have also added quite a few more lyrics to the ‘titles’ list.  The deadline for completion of the website is still July 6th, 2018, which I should manage to meet in time.  I’m glad to see ‘Cloud 9’ (the instrumental version) getting a lot of listens this month.  Suddenly it has gained a lot of interest, but I’m not sure why but I am very glad to see it.  I may make it little shorter in the future, but not change the essential parts of the tune.  Anyway, bye for now and keep checking out some of the 180 songs and tunes which are now on my ‘SoundCloud’ and/or the lyrics on FaceBook or website.

Thanks,

Well, as it’s the end of the month, here is a round-up.   So far 4 songs have been recorded and/or completed, and uploaded (which is keeping to my plan of a new upload every week this year).   I have also written 3 sets of lyrics too.  Apart from that, all I have doing is just been typing lyrics onto my FaceBook webpage every morning and evening during the week.  Every time I come across which I find interesting, or think someone else might, I share it with the public.  All of the lyrics are then linked to the relative song title on THE LOST CONNECTION: THE COMPLETE LIST OF SONGS, LYRICS AND POEM.  I’m not sure how many more songs I have got left to type out, but I am adding quite a few more each week.

I have realised that many of my ideas, particularly in the 2002- 2011, have needed improvements and have done so accordingly.   This was a bad period for me in terms of eventualities (excluding my marriage of course).

In the early days (1980s and 1990s), I made sure that my lyrics were exactly as I wanted them before finalising them, but as time passed I tended to throw ideas on paper and  not perfect them before declaring them complete.   The good thing is I am now able to improve them and, if I hadn’t logged them, may never have got around to it (and, thus, the ideas may have been gone forever).

Anyway, I’ve got to go and get my car serviced now and then off to bed.  I may add more to the blog later.  Bye for now though.
