Been struggling with this one...all my gear is still packed away as we're still having loads of work done in the house...
I ditched my original idea, then I fancied doing something about the "Spanish City" in Whitley Bay...which holds fond memories for most folks around Newcastle...and was immortalised in Dire Straits rather fantastic "tunnel of love"
"Cullercoats and Whitley Bay...
Girl it looks so pretty to me
Just like it always did
Like the Spanish City to me
When we were kids"
It's been recently regenerated as it had gone down the toilet somewhat over the years since its heyday...if indeed it had a heyday...it always struck me as being pretty rotten to be honest, though almost everyone round here loves it all the same
Anyway...it turned into a bit of a fiasco, ended up as a kind of bitter diatribe monologue kind of thing...so I ditched that too and am back to square one.
I've written something just now along my original lines and hope to get a half hour this week to bang a vocal down quickly...possibly with a microphone in one hand and a paint-brush in the other...
I really don't want to miss the boat on the competition...there are loads of great entries...
Wish me luck please
