Songs-in-a-Bottle
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 !
