Just a middle aged singer/songwriter sharing the work.
Hobbyist singer/songwriter/guitarist who's been quiet for 10 years. Decided to get the songs out there now. Had dreams of the big time, but know it isn't going to happen now and that's okay. I still love music, writing and recording and want to share my work with people.

Story behind the song
I realised one day that there's more to life than sitting in front of a computer 24/7.
Lyrics
Broken dreams and promises side by side Mysteries of life the turning of the tide Time wasted in the land of wonder Time being blind worry of the future Could waste my time in front of the screen A quest for an unattainable fantasy I could shut it down go see who's around Focus on Important things Important things That feeling my child's smile brings Important things In the here and now not in yesterday Important things Comes a time when change must be made The important things "Isms" and "Ologys" for everything I'm longing for simplicity Felt like a permanent resident In a transient state Trapped in a world with people To whom I could not relate Won't waste my time in front of the screen At this point in my life I'll take reality Things aren't always pretty But at least I'm free A slave no more to technology Important things Like that feeling my child's smile brings Important things In the here and now not in yesterday Important things Comes a time when change must be made The important things Like sitting by your loved-ones hospital bed Seeing the big picture when they reach out for your hand Listening to a down and out heartbroken friend Realising new beginnings not dwelling on the end The important things That feeling my child's smile brings The important things In the here and now Not in some far away place Important things Comes a time when change must be made The important things *************************************************************************** Spring 2007 Sandwichtowne, Windsor, Ontario, Canada
