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
one's life
Lyrics
right from the start I was cast-iron certain young and optimistically naive lapping up lots of those happy-end stories fairy-tales the young and gullible believe time drifted by and I simply continued looking at the world through rosy specs castles in Spain and pie in the sky I gulped it all down, even though I was forewarned it was more complex and for some inexplicable reason known just to myself I wouldn't hear cautionary voices issuing warnings simple warnings that could not have been more clear someday you will, predicted those voices step into a trap and be ensnared something will come to dash and dispel all of your dreams - but when the blow fell would you know ? I was unprepared oh why did I not ponder ? why did I not wait ? linger for one moment ? listen to those words and hesitate ? oh why did I just let my tragedy unfold ? why was it I could not stop and listen to what I was told ? there's just one thing I now have to tell you when first love has breathed its final sigh after the grief, the hurt and the pains after the heartbreak, all that remains is the trace of a dream gone by
