all of my songs by (a very self indulgent) oldrottenhead

only used a couple of notes on this one but they took up around 21 tracks. so probably a big waste of my time and yours if you are listening.

All of my songs
Come from the heart
Oh and that little bird
That flits onto my shoulder
And whispers in my ear

All of my songs
Come from experience
The things that happen
In my day
And in my world

I sing the words
They appear from nowhere
I sing the words
They must come from somewhere
But I don't know
And I don't care
Just as long as the words keep coming

All of my songs
Come from deep within
I open my mouth
And they come out
They've been waiting to escape

All of my songs
Are written by someone else
Not me
But that little bird
That flits onto my shoulder
My muse

I sing the words
They appear from nowhere
I sing the words
They must come from somewhere
But I don't know
And I don't care
Just as long as the words keep coming

Big time cool, bro!

Wispy and ethereal with some deep, deep lyrics.

Love it!

Feeling and explanation of how you work, maybe self indulgent, but it sounds really good to me. Words for me 9 times out of 10 come last and sometimes, I don,t even have a subject to start from, probably shows in my tunes, but anyhow keep doing what your doing cause it works and by the way you synth sounds great, very atmospheric.

In the past I've sometimes wondered where some songs actually come from, because the special ones always gave me the impression that they weren't actually ever created as such - they've just always "been there", and it would be impossible to imagine a world in which they didn't exist.

I think this song falls into that category for me.

I can see you on a stage just highlighted by a spotlight with the fog surrounding you, singing this lovely song. Then the band comes in. I reckon this could be even better with a sort of Phil Collins gorilla drum beat to set it off then all hell breaks loose. I think this should be a work in progress with some collaboration and it could be epic. Haunting vocals and I do like it. Great. Your voice still reminds me SAHB but I loved them anyway.

Nice one, Jim. I can imagine this song being created in outer space, and I mean that as a compliment.

The Juno sounds cold and cosmic, and your voice and the lyrics have a detached, floating (or traveling) and somewhat spiritual quality to them. Certainly not a waste of time.
