Seeing that this is my birthday I would like to continue the time honored birthday tradition of Hobbits and give all of you a present. Here it is and I hope you like it!
Nice to have a weekend free, the good wife is in Spain with our daughter and friends to celebrate her fortieth birthday, watch out Spain !!!! Got round to this one, everything is in Open D on my trusty acoustic.
Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.

Nobody loves you
Like you…
I enjoyed the demo version immensely and then this was up next. This brought an already great track up to the next level! It was a real pleasure to hear these back to back.

This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.

With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground

Why are you scared, free as a bird
