Hi All
Ive just done something crazy!Ive entered the UK Eurovision song contest with a song I wrote in 2014 ,I chopped it from 4:50 to 3 mins as is the rules .I over dubbed the song with a couple of RTs ,one a guitar and the other the ohs and ahs.I havent it up on the web yet and I will post it for you asap.The song is a catchy rock/ pop tune done as an Abba type song ie miserable subject and catchy music.A girl from England supplied the vocals ..I wrote this song before I started BIAB but used Biab and realband with it since 2015 on and off.Well wish me well!Hugh

Hi All,
Thank you for your support and well wishes,I see by the BBC website that my song didnt make it and I wanted to post it for you to listen as soon as I could
So here it is and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed writing it and getting it produced and then reproducing it :

https://soundcloud.com/user-219964721/youve-been-out-on-the-winter-nights-for-uk-eurovision-2019-nectar-3

You've Been Out On The Winter Nights

Autumn Leaves Have Long Since Blown Away
Shame and Loss accompany me today
As We Walk Along Together In The Dark
At Least The Snow Keeps Falling Down
I hope My Problems Wont Be Found

You've Been Out On The Winter Nights
Where The Cold Wind Blows That Damages Your Soul
Bitter Place Where You Didnt Want To Go

Friends Say Things Like Spring Is On Way
Maybe They Dont Know What Else To Say
Or Time Heals All Wounds
How Could Time Heal What Ive Been Through?

You've Been Out On The Winter Nights
Where The Darkness Moves Very Slow
Hard Times That You Didnt Ever Want To Know

You've Been Out On The Winter Nights

Then I Heard Heaven Say I Know Where You've Been
You've Been Out On Those Winter Nights
You've Been Out On Those Winter Nights
You've Been Out On The Winter Nights
Winter Nights Winter Nights.......
