The Fool

[thetworegs]

My first song for 2023 a bit of a sad one poor old Reg looking back on the mistakes made in a life.He's a little unsure if he's lived it full enough....but its too late now.... Thanks for listening

Some one said that dream is not dead
It was whispered in my ear as a youth
But when the night falls and darkness surrounds
i realise I'm the one who's the fool
I realise i'm the one who's the fool

Mornings comes the regret is forgot
The day opens up like a flower to the sun
I look back at yesterdays dream
And realise I am the one who's the fool
I am the one who's the fool

Judgement is corse sharp to the point
Mistakes are not just made  for the young
They burn in the old like flames to behold
As i realise I am the one who's the fool
As I realise am the one who's the fool

Break 

Forgiveness for the mistakes made yesterday
Gets harder to find
As the sand pours through the hourglass of time
i realise I am the one who's the fool
I realise i'm the one who's the fool

I look back on a life that's been mislead misplaced
Thinking I could have tomorrow to do
I see by clock I'm running out of time
i realise I'm the one who's the fool
I realise i'm the one who's the fool

Break

Some one said that dream is not dead
It was whispered in my ear as a youth
But when the night falls and darkness surrounds
i realised I am the one who's the fool
I realised am the one who's the fool

Ah Reg, you can't dwell in the past, all we have is this moment right now......well that and spandex undergarments.......I love your Reg based songs.......it takes me back all those years when I found this incredible batch of songs based around the mad ramblings of a dude named Reg on the other site, I was smitten with it all, real art.......good one, lovely, nothing wrong with sad songs on New Years day.......I can feel it

Yes you always create something great Trev, this time I am loving the guitar overlays. And you hit the emotions hard, so hard. Reg will live on, he is solid!!!

[Frank53]

Well crafted song. A bit of despair and regret. Melancholy recollections of ones life.
But, hey. There's still time to party! 

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

A great start to the new year from you, what a brilliant song. I always like your intros. I also look back on the past, dwelling sometimes too much..trouble is life goes on and it don't do us any good.
The music and arrangement is great. I love the piano and the guitar duetting with each other.
Happy new year
Darren

This is great Trevor! I love your piano based songs this one is no exception. Beautiful lead playing and stellar lyricism and vocals.

Wasn't expecting this. Sometimes these sad songs appear out of nowhere, but you gotta let them out. This is great, love the lyrics and that piano is attention grabbing. Solid indeed, a great musical start to the year.

I love the melody on the title line. It's so fitting and sounds perfect in tone and phrasing. There's an atmosphere to this that is more than the sum of its parts. And I think only true knowledge can be attained after we realize that we are all fools.

Nice work Trev, I like a portion of melancholy now and again. Excellent lyrics.   Willie

[Zoltan]

I like the sparse arrangement you have going on here. It really illustrates the lyrics and the melodies have a lot of room to breath.

Another great one. A real mood piece.
