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 ! Pete Songs-in-a-Bottle

Story behind the song
wondering - what actually happens when we watch a good actor ?
Lyrics
exhausting weeks in preparation, building on a firm foundation, making sure my lines are known ironing out all imperfections, mastering verbal inflexions, till they fully are my own I will assimilate all character traits, I will consume with head and heart and thus convincingly assume a someone else and play the part with pace and poise in presentation, vocal-cord articulation, I will sway you to my side with words will sail the seven oceans and manipulate emotions, even dare to turn your tide I will with subtlety persuade you to me, to at my words rejoice or grieve as I transport you to the world of someone else you will believe hushed I may deliver to you some soliloque, urging you be sympathetic with me words wherein I pregnantly pause quite deliberately, thought-provoking you discomfitingly (stand and verbally undress work the weak and the strong stress there is method in madness) here in role protrayal I stand , naked on the stage making you suspend belief and engage (luminated in limelights from the pen of the playwrights new conjectures and insights) (comedy, tragedy, many moods and many faces prosody, poetry, rhapsody in airs and graces) I am a victim of oppression, or someone with an obsession, or a tryant or a fool I am attired in costume clothing, and invite your love or loathing, or I'm kind or I am cruel either a child, or in the wisdom of age, either I'm straight or I am gay I now present myself before you as the actor in the play humbly I strut and prate before you as the actor in the play I now perform for You Spectator as the Actor in the play
