Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Lyrics
A Dreaming Fool (c) David A Briggs 2024 studio chatter ... organ leading to guitar intro: If it's all the same to you, I'll sit here and stare at the moon. Maybe watch the wheels go by, see vapour trail high up in the sky. so many long years have passed it's true. The good times have lasted for me and you. Looking at the setting sun. no longer caring if this race is won. Guitar solo #1 Sometimes I just can't believe, somethings in this world are hard to conceive. How a mad-man can just buy a gun, and change the future here for everyone. I wish I could see what you've seen. I wish I could go where you've been. I wish I could sing what you've sung. I wish I could do all that you've done. The salt of tears stains your face, you've shed lots of tears for the whole human race. People may have called you a dreaming fool, but life on this world can be so mean and cruel. ... so mean and cruel. Guitar solo #2 I wish I could see what you've seen. I wish I could go where you've been. I wish I could sing what you've sung. I wish I could do what you've done. People may have called you a dreaming fool, but life on this world can be so mean and cruel. (ad-lib ending with organ, distant guitars and dreamy whistling)

Well written & composed song, really like the melody & arrangement. It has that very engaging Brit Rock sound. Good lyrics, they convey a genuine sentiment that makes it widely appealing

Oh man. I dare say. He's gotta love this. Damn fine proper homage. Can you believe how long it's been? He's now been dead longer than he was alive. John, obviously. Anyone who was around to be around when he was around, knows this is a song for John Lennon. And for those of us who do remember him, we're still trying to get our heads around it. I remember it. Probably the worst hurt ever have I endured. Ever have we all, we who were there then.
