Description
A song about how we live now.
I've had the first line for 10 years but only just got round to writing the rest.
This is a collab with Pete Young, a good friend of mine from the Zoom board.
I did the main backing and added real bass and acoustic guitar to the modified Apple loops and I wrote and sung the verses.
Pete wrote and sang the bridges, did all the harmonies and played all those nice bits on guitar and piano.
Shopgirl Sarah selling shoes in a supermarket shopping store
Sarah doesn't listen to the news
she thinks it's not for her
Sarah goes out Friday night, she likes a drink she likes a laugh
So Saturday sees Sarah wake
with a face she doesn't know
And then in the morning light
Another troubled night
The only place she goes is nowhere
She's asking “Who am I?”
And soon she'll start to cry
This pain is just too hard to bear
Sarah's friends are none too bright, it's fun throwing up Friday night
Sometimes she says she's seen the light
But most the time she's wrong
Sarah wants the perfect man although she doesn't have a plan
'cept standing still with drink in hand
and hope he comes along
She's asking am I really here
Why is this nightmare still so near
Will my redemption be delayed
until I recognise the face
Looking at me from that mirror
So Sarah where do you go from here to finally be free of fear?
forget the wine forget the beer
there's more to life than that
I'm struggling for words to say to help to brighten up your day
You know there is another way
You've just got to think

When a song starts out with "Shopgirl Sarah selling shoes in a supermarket shopping store".....
Nice vocals/harmonies and the bassline with the piano and drums sound like you guys were playing live in a club somewhere. Good performance and really nice production.
Dick, I just figured this out, you're all over the place, man!
Keep it up!
