"Here & Now" instrumental - UPDATE - Singer found!

[hardlock]

This song needed a vocal track that's sort of rough and talky but follows the melody line of parts of the lead guitar in the instrumental version. 

The backing track is also attached for DL to sing to (or jam to). It's progression loops so ideally I just needed the song sung straight through then edit.

UPDATE: Mike_S came to the rescue with just the right vibe.  See the entry by the same name as a Collabfest2 over in the Originals section:

HERE & NOW - (c) Ken J Hill 2020
--------------------------------------
Don't know where he's going
don't care where he's been
All he knows is that his path
is something to defend

He can not see the future
and he doesn't trust the past
for here and now is all we have
so better make it last
-----------------------------------------
How did we ever get here
with everything so blue
Why can't we try to fix it
and strive to make it true

We only have ourselves to blame
for everything that's wrong
Should hang our heads in shame
instead of acting so strong
-----------------------------------------
He knows he shouldn't be here
the clues are all so clear
that time is never friendly
and the end is getting near

Don't listen to those prophets
with all  their baseless tales
they'll promise you salvation
but know you'll still gonna fail
-----------------------------------------
He's a father with no family
A teacher without a school
He's even lost his dignity
But has never broke a rule

They've taken his integrity
Left him empty to the core
All the faith he used to have
is sadly there no more
--------------------------------------
He's a soldier with no army
Sent off to endless war
He's never lost a battle
But no one's keeping score

He's a man without a country
A patriot all the same
An activist without a cause
with no one left to blame
----------------------------------------

Here's the backing track for jamming over.  Chord loop is just - Dm F Bb C

My voice is too high for this but i love the idea and can hear it too in my head. Love the tones of both Peter Green (My hero) and Frank Zappa. I can see the attraction with articulation etc......... I hope you find someone as this song sounds superb. I love the backing

Thanks for the good words!  I knew I should have looked up the singer's name of that Fleetwood Mac song.  Been way too long....
