Post by: Billy on July 28, 2015, 03:40:29 AM
After a little too-ing and throwing we finally got it together. Thanks to Johnny and Smithie for staying with this.

Thanks for listening.



A Life Like Yours
Lyrics - John Williams (Johnny)
Vocals - SmithC. (Smithie)
Music production - Billy Playle

Only a fool would ever presume
to know what you're going thru
or offer you up advice
without walking in your shoes

suffering in silence
from wounds that never heal
a self inflicted violence
to numb the pain you feel

but you know
I know how much you're loved
an we know
Sometimes it's not enough
but this is your life
Not a soul has a right to shame it
This is your life
you can live or you can blame it
This is your life
An I'm here to help re-claim it
This is your life
 
Sometimes you do everything right
Just to watch it go wrong
Beat ourselves with hindsight
Till our confidence is gone

Often I find, that given time
It's just blessings in disguise
Not saying it's a grand design
Only more than we realize

and I know
I know how much you're loved
an we know
Sometimes it's not enough
but this is your life
Not a soul has a right to shame it
This is your life
you can live or you can blame it
This is your life
An I'm here to help re-claim it
This is your life...

Too-ing & throwing
Woo-ing & glowing
Quick!
Call it in the air...
Woo-ing I win...Too-ing you lose
Now, tell me what isn't fair?

I'm sorry Andy
the recipe called for love
I lost my glasses...


Fellas, it was a pleasure/treasure working with you

Billy, I loved this composition, immediately!  8)

Thank you for letting me scribble on it

Smithie, thank you for all your splendid efforts!

You sound superb...

My apologies to both of you for any embarrassment I caused you

Seems to come with my territory

A fragile ego is an artists bane  :-[

Cheers to a great song, & birthing pains!

I love that atmospheric guitar sound on the intro.  A very sombre track, right up my street "

Gentlemen, I'll take it
A whisper to the wise
Even if she fakes it
She cared enough to try  ;)
