Hi everyone,
Just finished this one. It’s written to a backing track I received while on a “top lining” course online. I just added some djembe drums and some chimey things to try and tie in to the topic a little bit...Of all the tracks I received, this was the only song that after finishing it, felt like a “Leo” song, so I’ve kept it, although I did have fun Pretending to write for current pop artists.
All thoughts are welcome as always and thanks for stopping by.😄🎶👊🏻🎶

Lately I’ve been thinking, about those days back then
I may forget the mission, but not you my friends
In the townships,
through the city
All the countless smiles that touched my heart
Chorus
Talking Zulu back when I was 21
We were only boys in camouflage
Under the Durban sun
Made it through the rain in Swaziland
Leaning on the stars
Feeding off their love
A lot has changed since then
But I know what you meant
So thank you for being there.
You were there to hold me, When my best friend died
A million miles from home then, With that question why
Through the struggle
Became brothers
Everybody showed us so much love…
