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
guess it's how I feel about my life just now
Lyrics
sometimes I choke in memories tasting the salt in the tears I'm swallowing some nights I gaze up at the stars asking myself which ones I've been following for they've led to nowhere, led to no dreams not gone according to plan nothing has seemed to work out right so you may call me the melancholy man how many pleasures are in life and yet it feels I have never tasted them chances galore to look for love they were all there, yet somehow I wasted them and a meaningful love, lasting for life, should have been part of the plan that never really came to pass so you may call me the melancholy man sometimes deep depression will find me just casting fortune and fate to the wind wishing there were not a meaningless existence behind me did my misguided empty head simply not see chances I was squandering ? is the importance of my life merely reduced to purposelessly wandering ? well, the record I fear speaks for itself clearly I formed the wrong plan now I look back in loneliness and you may call me the melancholy man
