The Patient

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, a bit late but another pandemic song.  Hope you enjoy?        Willie

Show me how to get out of here
They've hidden the door
I can't move, I can't breathe
I can't take any more

Just living in a twilight world
That's how it seems

I'm not hot I'm not cold
Feels like I'm floating on the sea
I am still young but I feel old
Why did this happen to me

Just living in a twilight world
That's how it seems

Haven't seen a face I know
No-one visits me
And I ask them when can I go
But no-one answers me

Just living in a twilight world
That's how it seems

Instrumental

I'm tired but I'm angry to
It shouldn't be this way
Maybe I should go to sleep
Just float away

Just living in a twilight world
That's how it seems

Outro

Very emotive song that. I like the recorded sound of the drums were they recorded live ?

[Farrell Jackson]

A sad reality and a lot of angst in your lyric/melody Willie. The song flows nicely but I felt myself drawn to the words....I can't imagine being in the state of your subject's situation. Well done my friend!

[Ferryman_1957]

This is really good Willie. I love the use of keys on this, very effective and cleverly done. The lyrics are superb and fit the music really well, you've created a compelling musical image here. Nice subtle use of guitar lead lines as well, all topped off with great vox and harmonies. Very good work indeed.

[Greeny]

We'd better get used to it - this is going on well into June (at best). So it's definitely not too late!

I think we can all relate to this lyric, Willie. Really like the main riff and the deep growling synth underpinning it. It's an excellent, moody song. Great hook on the chorus too.

[Ella]

Beautiful very sad song but in the same time peaceful feeling.  Dramatic words. Great job Willie.

[Mike_S]

Willie, this is top drawer... I love it. The mood you have captured is really beautiful. There is an ominous presence in this tune... the keys really help here. But such a great tune.

There's something about that music that catches the essence of the pain and discomfort both mentally & physically the "patient" is going through.  I can feel the despair and isolation as I listen to this.  Great tune.
