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 !

Story behind the song

tune from the last millennium, words from this millennium. there you go - two millennia for the price of one.

Lyrics

who can say what love is ?
who can say for sure just what love is for ?
it seems somehow pre-ordained to stay forever unexplained
who can say why when love takes a hold
we colour the sky with silver and gold
what makes us such susceptible victims ?

who knows why love hurts us ?
what has love to gain when it causes pain ?
it's so hard to comprehend why love breaks hearts that cannot mend
sometimes, I swear, love really appears
to stop and to stare and gloat at the tears
and revel in hurting - that's how it seems that love is

why does love smile as if it really wants you to self-deceive
and build yourself a cosy world of fiction and make-believe
when all the while it knows that fools should never believe in dreams ?

why does love deceive us
with each poisoned kiss ? let me tell you this -
you don't know what love can do until it breaks your heart in two
why does it offer tender embrace
then leave you within the loneliest place ? 
I ask once more now, who can explain what love is ?

I ask once more now, who can explain what love is ?
I ask once more now, who can expain what love is ?
