Hi,
Last song posting of the year is one I co-write with a lovely guy called Andy. Lyrically it was his story about trying to deal with stress at work. I effectively 'interviewed' him to create the lyrics and then I wrote the music.
Anyway it was a fair bit of fun getting the track down and hopefully its all paid off.
Look forward to your comments and thanks in anticipation

There's a diary I wrote and then burnt
To make peace with my heart
It held all the words that I'd written
To stop me from falling apart
At the end of the day, in black and white
A journal of thoughts and my plans
Didn’t do what it should have done
Like building on shifting sands
I was pouring water into a pint
Spinning out of control
It didn’t matter how much I’d write
Life in overspill
Overspill, Overspill
I needed a break, to reawake
And to settle my soul
To uncover and to rediscover
To start to make me whole
Still the flames took the pages, one by one
And then they sent them away
Like curses they flew to the darkened skies
From my eyes, day by day
I was pouring water into a pint
Spinning out of control
It didn’t matter how much I’d write
Life in overspill -
Overspill, Overspill
