Thanks for all the comments, including Alan's.
The song is basically a lament for my lost youth, added to Digger's daughter's love of Bridlington. I did think about calling it Chloe's Lament but thought Chloe's Lullaby worked better with the words and how it developed.
I like seagulls and the songs they sing. They echo around my head long after they stop singing. So I've given them a nod.
I saw David Bowie at Brid Spa in the early 70s, great night. The Spiders from Mars came from Hull or close to it which is why I've included the Bowie references. Trevor Bolder, died two years ago and was a Hull City supporter. City's nickname is the Tigers. "Move like tigers on Vaseline" is a line from Hang on to Yourself, a track from Ziggy Stardust. A tip of the hat to a great night and a fellow City supporter. The Spider's are Chloe's rag time band. Its all in the video.
Alan your comments are always welcome, you give me a lot to think about in a helpful way. I couldn't ask for anything more.
Paul, thanks for the comments. I don't mind at all. If you don't listen you never improve. the feeling I got from the solo is melancholy, which was the intention. If it didn't work then I'll rethink it. I'll take up your advice on building a solo for my next song. Nothing goes to waste.
adam, I'm always sober, its all in my head, a great place to be, at least for me. I'm not sure about the end of I Want You. Lennon was looking forward whilst I'm looking back and the music reflects the sentiments in each song.
Jathon, I'm honoured, my first review from you and what a corker, thanks.
Tony glad you liked the video and song. Luckily I'd written the song first and got the film afterwards. The young man watching Bowie in the window was a fluke though.
Dogmax, I hope Tigers slide on Vaseline is now clear. Thanks for the compliments, I may well be a singer one day. Practice, practice and more practice.
Thank you all again, much appreciated.
Keith
