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
Life . . .
Lyrics
in the morning of my life I believed naively what was in my future could be left as unplanned and my vision suffered from my distorted values thinking everything was in the palm of my hand in the twilight of my life, in the dusk of evening finally too late in life I now understand all my wasted years have led to the sad conclusion everything indeed was in the palm of my hand teardrops in my eyes let me see and realise at the end of my day chances life opened to me I let slip away I didn't think to plan ahead I went where mere amusement led not seeing it led me astray I took to dreaming while I slept from which awoken I accept I made my mistakes, now I pay for my wisdom tells me now all my wild endeavours should have concentrated more on things that can give a perspective making life more than mere existence that endows a human with a reason to live plans were there to devise to have acted otherwise tearfully I confess mine is the fault that has led to such to my emptiness I placed myself in presentness and all immediate pleasantness it's easy to live for the day I let events just take their course and they have led me to remorse what else do I have left to say ? for I somehow took my life in the wrong direction hurriedly mistaking what would make it fulfilled when presented with a mind and a choice before me houses made of straw were what I'd chosen to build where this foolishness led now is clear through tears I shed from this wilderness I look back at my life now in sorriness wondering why why, why, why ?
