Title: Summertime in Battersea
Post by: thetworegs on January 02, 2024, 02:15:12 PM
Reg has let the new year get to him and he is feeling a little romantic about lost years that have passed him by....
Aimless walking at midnight night
In a dream unfulfilled
Alone with memory
alone and still
Lost to footsteps in the summer rain
That summer rain
Ooh thou it
Washing me clean

Silence in the city
Just rain dropping from the leaves
Silence in the city 
Just the summer rain with me


Aimless on this empty street
Starlight shows the way 
I stumble home to this empty room
I knew I got no where to go
Aimless is my way on this empty road
My life is in a dream
In this summer rain
Its washes my memories clean
This summer rain
This summer rain
Washes me clean
This summer rain
This summer rain
Washes me clean

Never had i heard about Battersea. Luckily with the power of google i'm a bit wiser now.

You're painting a vivid picture with the lyrics and performances. Some of the piano playing is a bit meandering in a positive way. It kinda adds to the "lonesome, feeling lost" -type of vibe. The vocal deliver is pure Reg (=awesome and moody).

Lovely piano throughout. Listening, I felt like I was taking a walk through memories too, feeling the rain drops and just drifting.

Good combination of Avant Gard and jazz.  Love the piano and string synth. Your words paint a vivid picture of something your spirit loves.

Cool track, Trev. That piano is fantastic and your vocal is the icing. I haven't heard you do a song like this before - love it.
