RETRO pop songs --- from another millennium and another galaxy.

My name's Pete. from Birmingham in UK-land. Nice to meet you ! I made a lot of very varied popsongs in the pre-digital age. I say they're McCartneyish, as I don't know how to categorize them. Allsorts. The description I use is RETRO I'm really a songwriter who wants others to perform these songs. So please bear that in mind as you grimace at my efforts to be acceptable. I'm especially concerned to write good lyrics, and if you do ever give some time to my stuff, I hope you will click to the lyrics and read those also. They don't come easy, you know. I'm plonking my songs here to give them a home, in the hope you might think they're not too bad. In fact, in the hope that you'll snap them up and I'll become an instant overnight megastar multi-millionaire. But failing that, I hope that you just like them. And if you do like one - I'd especially like it if you told me so. We all need strokes, eh ? Cheers ! Pete Songs-in-a-Bottle

Story behind the song

i've put this into 'blues'
apologies if you don't think it belongs here, but i have difficulty finding a category for much of my stuff.  

this or is it these blues came to me this autumn 2012.  as usual i have no female to demo the vocal, so i'm afraid you have to put up with me.....    any volunteers out there ??????

Lyrics

I Don't Remember His Name


I can remember the evening, I can remember the place
the silhouette in the soft light, the handsomeness of the face
the gentleness of the greeting in such a masculine tone
and then the smile with the question - what are you doing alone ?
and I remember the kindling of such a passionate flame
but that was so long ago, I've put it right from my mind
I don't remember his name

I can remember the first times, the words between him and me
the joy of opening secrets, exchanging intimacy
and I remember the minutes, and then the days and the weeks
and how I told him I worship each single word that he speaks
then I remember he told me when he did not feel the same
that there was somebody else - so, like I told you before
I don't remember his name

aint it funny how in life sometimes some things occur
that your heart can think about until they never were ?

like a book you read and then remove it from your shelf
memories are pick-and-choose where you must help yourself

I can remember the feeling like finding fantasy-land
the way the world seemed to tremble whenever he touched my hand
I can recall the emotions that coloured every day 
I made a place in this warm heart where I believed he would stay
then I remember he vanished right back to from where he came
I've wiped him right from my mind, so now he doesn't exist
I don't remember his name
