The Bent Strings are: Paul Mckendrick Just a rough mix of songs I wrote and recorded as a hobby. Patience and Persistence are NOT to be under rated. Actually I love the songwriting process, it's recording that I'm not too fond of, but there are usually surprises along the way. Anyone wishing to do a cover, remix, or whatever is welcome and encouraged, just send me an email.

Story behind the song
Steve Forbert's "January 23-30, 1978" was the inspiration. This is my experience of a trip back home. My first recorded song, no click track used (and it shows); I hope to do it over with better timing someday. A picture of me at Hugh's Room (Toronto).
Lyrics
My Hometown Rising up in this clear blue sky My head is buzzing a familiar sound Blood is singing in between its beats I’m heading east to my hometown I left the city of traffic and egos It’s time to slow this old pace down So kick your feet back, enjoy the ride I’m heading east to my hometown All the faces are familiar now I know their stories and all their backgrounds So come with me, and I’ll show you around Chatting it up, in my hometown The rivers calm and calling my name Kill the motor, we’ll drift on down Passing landmarks of days gone by Reminiscing in my hometown Chorus The winds of change have swept this town There’s fragile signs blowing around You’ve got to live your life for today What ever time throws your way Well its time, I'm ready to return A final glimpse, and I’m westward bound The river beats, all through these veins It sings the song of my hometown Chorus
