Leave?
written & performed by Hook
My mind
seems to wander off
to the most
cataclysmic
possibilities
Why did you leave?
I just cant believe

My heart
Seems to be
Cold
And unaware
Of joy

Why did you leave?
I just cant believe
You set out to deceive
What did you leave?

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Yes, weirdness, but on a good way! This almost done by Hook bigband and it has a little jazz vibe on the background.

This is like full of anguish mate,I hope your in a good place.
So many instruments on this, its like you kicked a box over and they all started to play and followed your tormented lyrics.
You said it yourself strangeness.
I think I need a happy Hook song ,with happy lyrics.
But as always fine musicianship.
You are always inspirational to me the way you record on the move all the time as well as filling the childrens lives with  silly Sam.

can't beat a bit of angsty weirdness to jolt the mojo back into shape ;D

Well they say all musicians are little weird  but this is nice  a little dark mojo mixed with jazz rolling through it different but good

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

Oh my! Comes across like an easy listening crooner wrung through a psychedelic mangle! It's a weirdness I dig. And that's a very infectious main hook (no pun intended). Really like that shift at about 2:30 too, where it takes on a Spanish flavour. So many interesting things going on. Excellent.

Weird but wonderful. It took a couple of listens for me to get used to vocal treatment but once I did, I really liked it. The organ and distorted uke riffs are great, a really interesting combination of sounds. I also like the change in the latter part of song and love the way you bring back in the original organ/uke combo with a nice harmony riff as well.

This is very off the wall and extremely cool. Thumbs up from me!

Weird and challenging. Matches these weird and challenging times.

Great instrumentation, the vocals bouncing around are quite disorienting and add to the general feel of unease. Nail-biting stuff...
