Yesterday was a dream
or was it
I don't know
everyone was looking at me
knowing a secret that i didn't  know  
the intensity of that stare
made me so alone
as they peered at me
i become no one at all

It's like they were ripping my thoughts right out
i was made of stone but they kept tearing me down
they were breaking my dreams and ripping them out
i was screaming out but they wouldn't  stop

It was slowly sending me crazy
this small town with all those big dreams outside

watching the rain pour
Wanting that little bit more
for me

i was watching the rain pour
Wanting that little bit more
for me

Break

Darkness filled the sky
as the sun refused to shine
All hope felt lost
because some fool had gone and stopped time
No one asked questions
no one body really  seemed to mind
Then i noticed a face reflecting on the water  
Of the man who had stopped time

It's like they could read and chew up my thoughts
i was made of stone but they kept ripping me down
they were breaking my dreams and tearing them up
i was screaming out but they wouldn't  stop

It slowly sent me crazy
this small town with all those big dreams out there

watching the rain pour
Wanting that little bit more
for me

I was watching the rain pour
Wanting that little bit more
for me


Was it all really a dream

Small Town Blues

Definitely worth pursuing... you have a good vibe going on here and a good song structure. Would like to hear a full worked up version with drums coming in for those intense parts and maybe some crunchy guitar coming in in parts too. Just what i was thinking as listening, but a good haunting track.

[Groundy]

Sounding good Trev, at the moment I am staying in a little cottage in the middle of the hills in North Wales, no phone signal and limited WiFi,
Will have a proper listen later,
Alex

[Johnny Robbo]

Yeah... definitely worth developing, Trev! Your Led Zep influences are much in evidence here. Can't wait to hear the full band version.

[Hook]

Love the lyrics & it will rock with the band. well done brother.
Rock on!

[thetworegs]

I like this one so i thought i'd try a full band sound on it with me playing everything Acoustic, Les, Piano ,Bass and drums. the drums are a little ropey in parts but hey i'm no drummer guitarist piano or bass player...but i will own up to being a singer. Hope you enjoy!! I think this is the first time i've managed to pull of a full band ...He!! Hee!! onward and upward

It's like they were Ripping out my thoughts
i was made of stone but they were tearing me down
they were breaking my dreams and smashing them up
i was screaming out but nothing would stop

It was slowly sending me crazy
this small town with all those big dreams out there

i remember watching that rain pour
Wanting that little bit more for me

i remember watching the rain pour
Wanting that little bit more for me

no one body really seemed to mind
Then i noticed a face reflecting on the water 
Of the man that had stopped time

i remember watching the rain pour down
Wanting that little bit more for me

i remember watching the rain pour down
and Wanting that little bit more
for me

It was slowly sending me crazy
this small town with all those big dreams out there

i remember watching the rain pour
Wanting that little bit more for me

i remember watching the rain pour
and Wanting that little bit more for me

I listened to the both versions. It works well on band version! The chorus is real good and your vocal interpretation is amazing! Well done Big Bad Dog!

[Hook]

Nice job wit the one man band approach.
Rock on!
