his came from out of nowhere this morning. After a week of writing and recording short, sharp, hard-edged rockers, this reflective song went to the other end of the spectrum. This first take has a unique double-run on the short 3-chrod riff that covers the 4 4th and 8th lines. On the following takes [6 more were recorded], I had to hold off due to the weakness in my fingers and arms. I don't dislike the others, which hold a between-verse Am/Em/Em7 run, but I'd have liked to get a couple more takes of this structure down.

A mini-set containing some of the songs that I've written this week. There's a long intro due to waiting for air traffic to clear. Sound balance is not where I would have liked it to be, but I had to go with what I could do, given the advanced stage of my muscle wastage. 00:00 intro 03:54 'Heat' 12:33 'Tellin'' 14:40 'Tellin'' (Version 2 - slow) 20:14 'How I Love You' 26:22 'Time To Leave The Stage' (recital of verse 1 only) 26:56 'Keep On Goin'' 32:30 'Wherever I'm To (My Heart's With You)' Light and peace, Me All words and music © Paul Murphy / 2024 except 'Time To Leave The Stage' © Paul Murphy / 1996 - - - - 31.05.2024

'Goodbye Notes' - words and music (c) Paul Murphy / 2024

This is one of those songs that comes straight out of the news and straight into your conscience. It's awkward, at 62, singing with same power and venom as when you're 22, let alone the speed, but I tried. As with 'As Ye Sow (So Shall Ye Reap)', for instance, and 'We Are Solicitors', you're only addressing the guilty, not en masse, in songs like this. Anyone who has watched the UK headlines for the last few years, knows the names I'm not mentioning, because they don't deserve any recognition this side of the great divide.

It was an honour. Love, always, Dad. (c) Paul Murphy / 24.05.2024

This is a combined version, the 23.03.2024 lyrics [verses 1-10] and the 28.04.2024 lyrics [verses 11-18]. The mix is not as clear as one would wish, but, it's a long ride and you can't stop to make adjustments half-way through. And the same applies to songs. This is Take 1 of 2, the latter - also on this channel - has an adjusted chord/verse break structure.
