My first new song in 10 years. The original plan was to record a basic, acoustic version, post it here, and see if anyone finds something in it and wants to develop it into something more. But then it grew and became a fully-arranged song.

While I do like the outcome, I'm not so sure this arrangement compliments the lyrics perfectly. I'd love to hear other takes on it. I am adding the stems, in the hope that anyone out there will be interested enough (or bored enough?) to do something with it.

Singalong Jack

Worked all through the day

Now he wants to play

Goes to town

Where he can drown his sorrows

And no one knows better than him

How to drown their sorrows

Gets into the queue

Knows what he has to do

To be quick

To get it done before they even notice

And no one knows better than him

How to not be noticed

He hides his gun

And chooses one

To hit and run

When done with his wine

The night is young

And yet unsung

And he is hung

So everything's fine fine fine

Morning comes violently

Bright and loud as ever

Morning arrives as he

Wakes up next to whoever

Another day of disarray

Of doing all

That needs to be done

So much to do now

Bloody hell

The day hasn't even begun

So…

He gets out of bed

Bins the sheets of red

Damn, No one knows

The amount of work one goes through

When playing all night every night

It is such a sorrow

He'll drown it tonight

And would deal with it tomorrow

Worked all through the day...
