Can't Live Together(Can't Live Apart)

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, hope we are all safe and well. I've had some more treatment on my back, it's fine but feels like I've been kicked by a mule. Mrs Willie says I've got to take it easy and who am I to argue. Anyway felt a lush country ballad coming on and here it is.  Hope you enjoy.   Willie

The train was waiting in the station
And I was standing bag in hand
Should I stay and try again
And have I really got the patience

We fell apart, I couldn't tell you why
Perhaps it was just chemistry
I only know that we both tried
'cos I love her, she loves me

Can't live together, can't live apart
And we both end up with broken hearts

Instrumental

I turn my back the train has gone
I shuffle my feet and I pray
I turn for home and a brand new start
"Cos I can't leave I'm gonna stay

[Ray Brookes]

Always lovely cool songs from you, Willie. Nothing worse than a bad back - been there with a couple of bouts of surgery. Nice cool vibe to this song and love that laid-back vocal.

Another beauty from the house of Willie loving that lead I always admire the production of your tracks hope the back is better soon as Ray says nothing worse than a bad back..... well maybe there is kidney stones are no fun and then there's ...... isn't getting old lovely

Nice one Willie, this is pretty laid back...... (see what I did there  ) I like the lush sound and the strings really add to that feel, great vocals and harmonies with a great smooth-sounding lead. Another excellent track, hope the back is better soon.

[Mike_S]

Yes. Late night here, headphones on and up pops a chilled out bit of class from Willie. Perfect. All I needed to top it off was to hear a bit of searing lead to bring the tune home. Yep, check. Night one Willie. I am suffering from a bad back too... on my 7th week of treatment from the chiropracter. Highly recommended and the exercises they give you seem to help. Great tune Willie.

Nice dream poppy layers on this one. Really wonderful when that synth pad comes in on the pre chorus. Gorgeous guitar work and an effective vocal performance.
