...some recording work - recorded a new song based on a piano track from Edward Spark...

03/04/17
A chance meet with Sparky at lunchtime and a long discussion re working on tracks together - he seems much enamoured by the track I did on Saturday - as am I...

17/8/19
...more music work - adding new verses to "I Have Lost My Spark" and communicating with Eddie boy over the Whatsapp on matters...

lyrics

I have lost my spark, I don't know where it's gone
Tomorrow and today, nothing much to say
And no-one listens anyway
So tell me what's the point, to work, to toil
Who takes the spoils, not you, not me
And no-one listens anyway, no-one listens anyway

I am in the dark, there's nowhere left to run
The sorrow and the pain and everything's in vain
I think I'm going insane
So tell me what's the point, to work, to toil
Who takes the spoils, not you, not me
And no-one listens anyway, no-one listens anyway

I'm walking in the park, the lights have all gone out
I cannot find my way, I can't face another day
I think I'm going insane
So tell me what's the point, to work, to toil
Who takes the spoils, not you, not me
And no-one listens anyway, no-one listens anyway

I have lost my spark, I don't know where it's gone
Tomorrow and today, nothing much to say
And no-one listens anyway
I am in the dark, there's nowhere left to run
The sorrow and the pain and everything's in vain
I think I'm going insane
