for old times sake .............................................by Honker.

[Oldrottenhead]

got this in my email from kenneth a week or so ago. his message said  "for old times sake".

however i was busy with work and stuff and had no time to do anything with it, and i had a ton of stuff from jemima's kite going on, so i forgot about it.

later, i was clearing my micro br just after  watching a documentary about eagles (the band, they don't like the the) and found what kenneth sent.

still thinking about "the" eagles documentary, i thought about all the musical friends i have fallen in and out with over the years and regrets i've had a few etc. "the" eagles famously saying they would only get together again when hell freezes over.

i'm going on now. anyway this one is for Tony Jones, with whom i did some mighty fine songs, i just wish we did  some more. Rest In Peace Tony. you live on in the music.

I didn't want to do it
but I changed my mind
so let's get to it
before I change my mind again

for old times sake
for one last time
for old times sake
for old times sake
let's just do it
for old times sake


well tomorrow is another place
and yesterday is gone
so let's stay in the here and now
for one more time
get lost in the music
lost In the noise
sing one last time
for all the girls and the boys


for old times sake
for one last time
for old times sake
for old times sake
let's just do it
for old times sake

I didn't want to do it
but I changed my mind

for old times sake

Very powerful music and vocal performance.

[Hook]

What a cool track & it's hard to imagine that the lyrics came 2nd. What a collaboration, really powerful tune!
Rock On!

[Ferryman_1957]

Nice one. Very interesting track from Kenneth, the stereo effect is pretty extreme but actually works very well. Makes the vocals sit nicely in the middle of the mix and pushes them right out at you. I like the strings in the background as well, a very cool track.

Glad you did this, Tony was a superb musician. RIP Tony.

[Tangled Wires]

Excellent!

That ping pong panning is very effective and the vocal cuts through it down the middle perfectly.

I like the extra oomph that comes in the shape of the bass and additional guitars in the choruses, it gives it a real uplifting quality and has a U2 sound to it.

Great to hear Ken's music again on this forum and a fitting tribute to Tony

[Ted]

Wait. Tony Jones? Would I know him by his Songcrafters' username?

[Flash Harry]

'Wichita' and 'Tafka'.

Check out his music, you won't regret it.

[Jarle]

Well arranged and powerful song. I love it.

Another stonker from Honker (somebody must have said that before me).

Great music from Kenneth (love the guitars), and the vocals fit like a glove. And a very nice tribute to Tony Jones - well done, fellas.

[Ted]

'Wichita' and 'Tafka'.

Ah yes. I remember his music well. I didn't know he had passed.
