I dug my Juno Di out for the first time in ages and in anticipation of the Scotland game in the Euros tonight, I wrote this two chorder for the festival.
It is what it is.
There is no easy way
Get back up if you fall
The road ahead is long
Enjoy it whilst you can
And even if you fail
It's better to have tried
To give it all you've got
Let there be no regrets
So don't give up
Don't give in
Reach for the stars
And live the dream
You have a hill to climb
The only way is up
So put your best foot forward
And on you go
Who knows what lays ahead
Who knows what's still to come
Just keep going
And you'll find out
So don't give up
Don't give in
Reach for the stars
And live the dream
So don't give up
Don't give in
Reach for the stars
And live the dream
And don't give up
And Don't Give Up

Really catchy tune.
There is something about this 2 chord fest that pushes our musical consciousness up against a wall.
Excellent.

Just captivating soundscape with Juno. Should I say 'ethereal' :).

Great song with two chords. Bravo James!

Those things we take for granted - when we're young and immature - will surely return to haunt us when we're old and insecure

Great song and not even slightly hampered by the 2 chord limit.  The slow build on the drums really adds depth.  Great vocal as always.

There is something majestic how this ties in with the Scotland performance. They did give it their all and seemed like they were unlucky in the end.

Another ORH beauty.

Perfect for this sunny afternoon... I tried to get going on the garden but it was just too hot I'm afraid I didn't take your advice I gave up but it did motivate me for a while
