Until The Sun went Down by Oldrottenhead

This song started off as a spur of the moment thing. i had a few drinks and did a live version recorded here on my iphone. https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=33388.msg396910#msg396910
My intention being to capture it before i sobered up and forgot it.
Here we are a few weeks later and i had a go at trying to do it justice. A big thank you to Mike S, he sent a tune for me to warble over and that inspired me to dig out all my gear and come back to this one.

It is what it is.

Well when i was a boy
I'd play out with my friends
Until the sun went down
until the sun went down
And when i was a teen
I'd chase after the girls
Until the sun went down
Until the sun went down
And now i am a man
I wish i was a boy
And now i'm all growed up
I wish i was still young
Before the sun goes down
before the sun goes down
Before the sun goes down
before the sun goes down
Well when i was a boy
I'd play out with my friends
Until the sun went down
until the sun went down

Nice one James,very relaxing vibe.
Takes me back to my govan slum days.
We never wanted to go home.

Very glad you got to putting this down in the studio. The live version is great but this takes it up another level. Some lovely sparse guitars in there. Hell of a listen.

Such a somber and beautifully introspective song. The backing synths are wonderful and the guitars have a lovely tone. Great evocative lyrics...

Really hits the sweet spot. Like sunshine through wet eyelashes, and a truly evocative lyric. So beautifully done.
