kari asked if i could add something to this https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=21921.0 i had a lot of fun doing this, tried to put myself in the character of a citizen smith type character  




                                                                  FREEDOM FOR TOOTING!
                                          

the sweetest taste of a memory
the long forgotten dreams of hope
i'm standing outside in the rain
smoking secret cigarettes
a world collapsed renewed reborn
let's start all over again
i'm standing outside in the rain
handing leaflets to the passersby
i'm standing outside in the rain
yeah i'm standing outside in the rain
trying to make a difference
trying to make things different
a lonely voice out in the wilderness
the sound of one hand clapping
i'm standing outside in the rain
talking to no one but myself
i'm standing outside in the rain
yeah i'm standing outside in the rain
trying to make a difference
trying to make things different
the sweetest taste of a memory
the long forgotten dreams of hope
a lonely voice out in the wilderness
the sound of one hand clapping
i'm standing outside in the rain
trying to keep this flame of hope alive
i'm standing outside in the rain
yeah i'm standing outside in the rain
trying to make a difference
trying to make things different
a lonely voice out in the wilderness
the long forgotten dreams of hope
we're standing outside in the rain

Hot, rocking, really quite good!

[FuzzFace]

Cool lyrics, great singing and good balance/recording.

Citizen Smith is a new one for me but I do own that hat.

[cuthbert]

Oh yeah...your voice and Kari's music go together so very well. And now I want to check out 'Citizen Smith'! (oh hell, it's not on Netflix)

[Blooby]

This is catchy power pop. It's a good tow-tapper to start the day. The two of you you do really well together.

Good rocking collab.

[Kenny B]

Excellent collab guys.  Dig the style and delivery.  Vox are perfect
for the catchy rhythm Jim & Kari ... NICE!!!

[Hook]

Finally able to check this one out & I like it man. There are some surprising similarities in the verse melody, really great lyrics and I dig your chorus, it lets the guitar riffage really cut through.
Rock on!

Punktastic :)actually it's just on the verge of it.
It's lighter guitar wise for all out punk.
Full of attitude and a lively wee number.
Nice one
