Happy New Year, all! I've finally had some solid time to get back to music making during my year-end shutdown this last 10 days. I finished two songs today with my friend and producer Roger (the other song is also on SC but it's all Roger and me, no BIAB, quite rocking).
In November, I sang with my brother and a friend in a Bee Gees tribute concert. Mostly BG covers, but Doug and I decided to add two BG-inspired harmony-heavy originals. This was one, with lyrics inspired by my late October walks around London.
https://soundcloud.com/flyingsinger/foggy-morning-london-townI really liked the way the 2335 strings worked in this song. I wrote most of the lyrics, my brother Doug most of the melody. We were definitely going for a 1967 feel. All the voices are mine except for one part on the chorus that my daughter sang.
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!

Foggy Morning, London Town
Foggy morning, London Town
Footsteps falling without a sound
Memories linger
Like the smell of an early rain
I move slowly through
Westminster squares
Their cobbled lanes and homes so fair
Feeling every bit a part of the history
chorusFoggy Morning, London Town
The streets are empty
The building shapes so dim
Foggy Morning, London Town
I fear I won't see you again
Foggy Morning, London Town
Wandering places we used to go
That zebra crosswalk on Abbey Road
We were just as fab
And you were matching your steps with mine
chorusThere’s a sadness all around
But no one sees the tears that I cry
No one knows the loneliness
I feel inside
Foggy Morning, London Town
chorusMusic/lyrics by Doug and Bruce Irving (C) 2014 (BMI)
