I wrote this last year and forgot Id recorded it. Rediscovered it whilst going through my BIAB library today so thought Id put it up.
A simple song about saying goodbye etc after a breakup
Whiskey And Rye (c) PMcNaught 2024 All tracks BIAB Vocals by yours truly Thank you for listening
LYRICS
In the dim-lit room, the bottle's almost dry Memories fading, as we say goodbye The whiskey burns, the tears they fall Heartache echoes through these empty walls
Whiskey and rye, the bitter taste of sorrow Lost in the haze of a long tomorrow In the shadows of a love gone by We drown our sorrows in whiskey and rye
The clock ticks on, the night grows cold Whispers of regret, stories untold Each sip a prayer, each drop a sigh We cling to each other, as the tears run dry
Whiskey and rye, the bitter taste of sorrow Lost in the haze of a long tomorrow In the shadows of a love gone by We drown our sorrows in whiskey and rye
The stars above, they seem to weep A lonesome tune, a promise to keep But in this moment, we find our peace In the arms of whiskey, our souls release
Whiskey and rye, the bitter taste of sorrow Lost in the haze of a long tomorrow In the shadows of a love gone by We drown our sorrows in whiskey and rye

Gee, Pete, you must be from the DEEP SOUTH part of Lancashire. That's an authentic twang you've got going on, and you use it to great effect. Nice honky tonk tune, and well produced and mixed. Nice one!

Nice production and mix in this song. Enjoyed the listen.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Now that's a song. I'm glad you remembered your recorded it. I like the way you immediately go into the chorus after the last line of the verse. Excellent vocal, and one would never guess that you're a bloke from Lancashire.

Just to clear things up, I'm a fat baldy bloke from Lancashire😂😂😂

Right then, Pete from Accrington, the land of black puddings and proper brews... aka Lancashire.
I've just had a good ol' listen to your latest tune. Blimey, I wasn't expecting that! You've got a voice that's smoother than a pint of Boddington's, and this song is catchier than the common cold going around Accrington in January.
And that Band In A Box? You've wrangled that thing into submission like a sheepdog on steroids. Seriously, top marks for making it sound like an actual band and not a malfunctioning toaster.
Seriously though, this is a top-notch tune. I'm definitely gonna have to go digging through your back catalogue, see if you've got any other bangers hiding away. I'm giving this a solid four out of five frothy pints - and not just any pints! We're talking premium frothy pints, pulled with love from the best damn pub in all of Lancashire. You deserve it, lad. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your post, I really do appreciate it.
You put a large grin on this old buggers face with your sense of humour, I sir, like the cut of your gib 👍
I'm off for a pint or three!
