Done as a songwriting exercise. SSG Y10W22. I changed some of the lyrics, made a more suitable ending and played on electric this time. So now I need a new genre - calling it "pop" for now.

Story behind the song
The exercise was to write about forgetting.
I had this song idea a few months ago and hadn't done anything with it. It's about a friend who has Alzheimer's.
Lyrics
verse:
I had notes in my pocket with the day's events.
Might be the wrong pocket or different pants.
Whose birthday is this week? I hope it's not here yet.
I'd buy a card if I knew what to get.
chorus
Notes in my pockets at the end of the week.
I should write one to remind me to eat.
I'll tell my kids and they'll take me away.
But not today.
verse:
The date is on the calendar that I left somewhere.
If it was on the wall I'd know who to call.
I'm supposed to be somewhere. Maybe yesterday.
Or maybe in an hour. Or I could be late.
chorus
verse:
I had an important thought. Now it's gone away.
I'm trying so hard, but my thoughts won't stay.
Old memories don't die, but new ones are gone.
I feel so afraid. They say I'm withdrawn.
chorus
