  • Professionalism is an attitude
At last we finally finished this song.  :P

Paul wrote some fantastic lyrics and the rest was easy to do (well, perhaps not that easy...).
A massive thanks to Mark who mixed this beast....You found the zone man!

Thanks for listening.

P.S. Talk to your family.....they won't always be there!


ONE MORE DAY

Lyrics - Paul Dempsey
Music & Vocals - Billy Playle (Aidan)
Mix & Master - Mark Morgan-Shaw

Once you were larger than life
It's hard to see you so frail
Struggling and fighting for each breath
Just trying to inhale

I can trace my life with you
It's written all over your face
I hear your words of wisdom
It's taken me years to embrace

Sitting close to you now
Watching you slip away
I want to be selfish
I want one more day
Oh, just one more day

Forgive me for seldom calling
Conversation's not my forte
Know that I carried you with me
You were my strength every day

Mom, I wish I could hear you laugh
It always broke the tension
And Mom, I've words I never spoke
Word's that I've failed to mention
I know that you can't hear me
Please know that I love you dearly
Please know that I love you so dearly

Sitting close to you now
Stroking your hair so grey
I want to be selfish
I want one more day
Oh, just one more day
Just one more, just one more day....
Just one more, just one more day.

Somehow it smells like Pink Floyd to my ears... Sounds Great.
Live the best you can 'cause you're gonna be dead for a long time.

Hi Aidan/PVD/Mark,

Congratulations - a very well written, played, sung and produced number. The arrangement is spot on, totally complementing the heartfelt lyrics....and i can relate to the theme..i have been there.

Ladies and gentlemen Aidan is the new..Dave Gilmour.

Super job! This song is one is going into my i-pod. I am building a rather decent collection of songs from MCS.

Cheers
Andy

Indeed, this could have been a song by the Beatles! :)

I wish you'd do more songs, Billy. They are all unique!

Great lyrics too, Paul!

We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.

Not an easy topic to put to music.  I'm glad you did.  Gently presented.  Beautiful, especially for us who have been there.  I choose to think that she heard the words.
