Morning all! Got this as a lovely ear-worm this morning..

Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
70s

That's I Wish by Stevie Wonder.

My songs actually early 00s, sorry, thought it was older. One of my favourite bands, can't wait to see them live in 2022 (unless the tour gets cancelled...)

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Morning!

Are you casting aspertions upon our reputations @NeedToKnow101? 😄

😂😂 I am casting aspersions on all of us Coffee!

That's I Wish by Stevie Wonder.

Correct @WhipperSnapperSteve and I'll put some lyrics up just for you shortly ❤️🥰

Oooooh, excited clapping!

I realised my earlier lyrics' song wasn't as popular as I first thought (why?) and so here's another from the same band that might make things a little easier... (or not with my esoteric tastes!)

"And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am"

I finished writing a song today, really happy, I just need to mix and master it now

@NeedToKnow101 Glad there's no delusions 😉

That's Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, WhipperSnapperSteve and I need to work back to see what the earlier one was.

Sorry for my protracted absence here...both godkids have serious problems atm and we've been spending a lot of time on the phone with them.

It is, but can you get the harder one?

Good to see you back too

That sounds stressful Crep. Hope you’re ok.

@CrepuscularCritter That doesn't sound great. Hope things get better soon 🤞

So sorry things have been tough Critter, hope things get sorted x

Hope you're ok Crepuscular xx

@CrepuscularCritter ❤️❤️

Morning all.. especially for you @WhipperSnapperSteve.dance but not trance!

1. When you're in my hut

You know what's up Let your mind be free Relax your body 80s

1. Such a good feeling

That's where I want to be (Yeah) Locked in your prison Of total ecstacy 90s

1. We've come a long long way together

90s

1. Watch the steps

Get a drink, have a good time now Welcome to paradise, paradise, paradise 00

1. Don't let the walls cave in on you

We can live on, live on without you 00s

Have a good day peeps 💃🏽❤️😘

Sorry to hear that your godkids are having a tough time @CrepuscularCritter ❤️❤️

Sliding in to say is no 2 always there?

3 is praise you, fatboy slim

Oh I know one (3)

I want to praise you like I should

Norman someone

Not Norman someone then

Happy Thursday, all x

Too slow midge.

Norman Cook

It was a Norman , not just my mind on a rampage ! Thank you rogue , Yeah, good day today I think

1. Incognito - Always There
2. The Avalanches - Since I Left You
3. Basement Jaxx - Where’s Your Head

I met Norman Cook in early 00s, right arrogant arse. His wife (Zoe Ball) was lovely and told him to "find his personality"

Thank you all for the good wishes...that's really kind. Life changing events for both of them, so we're doing our best to have listening ears.

WhipperSnapperSteve the other one is Broadway. Just been watching Johnny Rzeznik with Daryl Hall doing a set that included both songs.

And I forgot to ask you about the songwriting. 🎵 What sort of things do you write? I played in a band decades back, but I've never written my own stuff.

Not Broadway sorry, it's Big Machine from the Gutterflower album.

I'm so sorry you're having a tough time at the moment, I hope things stabilise soon, very best wishes.

I write many genres, my favourite being dance music (quelle surprise! It's my favourite genre to listen to). I grew up playing piano and switched genres all over the place. I'm hoping to write more frequently as it's something I really enjoy. Should set up a Soundcloud account tbh
