Mon 17 November: Written and recorded for the NaSoAlMo solo album in a month challenge. Acoustic guitar, voice (plus the neighbour's kid in the background).
lyrics
When I put a record on,
I have to stop the voice inside my head
Long enough to hear what's said.
Maybe I would hear a thing or two
That would make me stroke my beard and sit right down,
Make me smile and make me frown.
Listen! Listen! Listen!
Listen to words,
You might miss something.
Once a long long time ago,
An old man sang a message in a song
For his children when he's gone.
For they did not know him long.
When, one day, they found a tape,
Fascinating music there they heard.
But they did not hear a word,
No, they did not hear a word.
Listen! Listen! Listen!
Listen to words,
You might miss something.
