Liner Notes
I’ve got a new single coming out on 5th July. Yes, just a day after the election! It’s called ‘Get a little life’ and as with all my recent releases, was recorded at Mustard Seed studios in Stratford, East London. The song was recorded and mixed by Dom Clark. He also plays trumpet on the song. The drums were whacked by Ian Pakes.
The song features the wonderful guitar work of Adam Philips who doesn’t have any truck with that social media nonsense but can be heard around the clubs of London playing with the likes of Hamish Stuart and Dave Lewis’ One Up.
This will probably be my last release for a while as I seem to have hit a blank spot when it comes to writing new tunes. To spur on some creativity, I’m currently learning to play piano which, and I think this has been recognised before, is bloody impossible. So, I’m grinding the nerves of my family, neighbours and the dog playing the keyboard.
When the song comes out, please give it a listen and perhaps add it to one of your playlists. It’s on all the usual streaming services.
Here are the lyrics, time signature and chords
Get a little life
6/8 95 BPM
F Dm B/G Bflat 7
Get a little house in the centre of town
F Dm B/G Bflat 7
Get a little dog straight from the pound
Am G
Get a little money, get a little strife
Bflat 7 C7
Get a little love into your life
Get a little joy in your soul
Go find someone make you feel whole
Get a little thrill, hand in glove
Get a little life get a little love
In the heart of the city, in the heart of town
Find somewhere to lay your head down
All that noise there’s comfort to be found
Your head in the clouds, your feet on the ground
Get a little wisdom, get a little sense
Go find someone, come to your defence
Get a little peace in troubled times
Gonna be heart break somewhere down the line
A Little London Life
