Just heard the @paulski track. Very touching and honest. Fabulous work in just one day, shows the guy’s just a natural. It’s interesting that when we songwriters are commanded to go 1+1 a good proportion of the songs have tended to show us off at our most intimate. And this one is no exception, a lovely song in all respects.

Don’t forget to check out John’s playlist above, fellow forum members, if you’ve not yet heard this ‘song-in-a-day’ selection.

Thank you @pompeyjazz and @MichaelA and @Wicked Deeds for the kind words on "When Daddy Comes Home".
It needs so much more work IMO but it's nice to get some validation early in the process and I guess that's what this challenge is all about.
It's like the old saying: Swim like a duck - smiling to anyone watching - but paddling like hell beneath the water's surface.
Well, in this challenge folks can see you paddling like hell

Here's the collaboration I mentioned earlier. Neil Connor and I got together and wrote: "Away from Home". Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/neilconnor-2/away-from-home-stipped-master-11-aug-2020

Here are the lyrics:

I remember like it was yesterday
Though it seems so long ago
The day you told me to go away
They played our song on the radio
Played our song

This is my home, my sanctuary
I come to rest when my heart grows weary
How will I manage when I’m all alone?
When I’m a long way from my home
I'm a long way from my home

I said please, please don’t make me go
You know where I belong
Please, I love you so
Didn’t mean anything wrong

When I left I felt something break
All those memories came flooding back
When you told me that I should take
The wrong way on the welcome mat
Wrong way on the mat

I said please, please don’t make me go;
You know where I belong
Please, I love you so
Didn’t mean to do you wrong

Neil also whipped together a more produced version, which I'm posting in Finished Songs. Or you can get there from here: https://soundcloud.com/neilconnor-2/away-from-home-master-14-aug-2020.
