I've gone a little bananas in the app store lately  .... details added in info-box.

Song was made over a week. Started with the acoustic guitars last weekend, and the rest was added during spare time during the week (lunch-breaks and late night sessions ::) ) ...

And yeah ... I did really listen to 'Ooh La La at the Absinthe Bar' in the car Tim  ;)

Here's a little story about an ordinary day
No flying monkeys or pigs out in a bay

Just the simple things after the alarm clock rings
No scary monsters or an angel who sings


Just a cup of coffee to start off my day
grab my bag, my keys, my phone and I am on my way

same old boring roads in the same old car
the stereo plays  'Ooh La La at the Absinthe Bar'   .... Ooh La La


This is a day.  
Just like any other day


Sitting in my office, pressing some keys
Staring at some numbers , and then it's time for tea

Off to a meeting trying to remember what it's for
time passes slowly. I keep looking at the door

I wonder how it would be in another life
Where I could pluck some strings or push some ivory keys .... Ooh La La


But
This is a day.  
Just like any other day


Walking out the door, time to head back home
pick up some eggs and bread and get a message on my phone
no I'm not gonna tell you what the message said
that's a story for another song

Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later
When I'm gone

Sounds like days I have, but a great song with meaning. Your voice is perfectly suited to this style. The music production is faultless with what sounds like low end strings binding it all together to produce a full sound. Loved it.

Hook

This is so good my brother, what a perfect song! The instrumentation is warm & lush & your vocal fits so perfectly into the mix.
Rock On!

Because the Hook brings you back
