It's the 2nd of 3 songs written by Mick Paul and I a while back, that I have selected to upload. Ths one shows off Mick's Bass skills a bit. I just wanted acoustic guitar and Bass in this, and I think it worked quite well. The vocals are a little off key in places. This song, and most of the others were only written hours before they were recorded, so I'm not that surprised at the mistakes in the mix.
The song is about a contreversial subject, though I'm not going let you know what it means here. You'll have to watch the vid to find out. I reveal the meaning near the end of the video. It gives a completely new angle on the words.
Returning to Mick. Here is some information on the history so far of this very talented guy:
Played on 2 singles in 1970.
He joined "The Hotshots" in 1973. They got to number 4 in the british chart with one of their releases.
Joined "Union express" in 1974 and toured around Europe for 2 years.
From 1978, he did some session work for the B.B.C. and for a various number of publishers.
He was also an in-house bass player at Abbeydale studios in West London.
Co-wrote the Labour Party campaign song in 1987.
Joined "More tea vicar in 1990.
He wrote and performed on a single called "Aquarius" for Yello records, produced by Tyrrell.
He played bass on the "David Hasselhoff" single "If we could only say goodbye" (Yes. It's The Hoff).
and there is more..
I'll give a web link to his recording studio in West Worthing, southern England:
This is the guy doing all the music in this song. The previous song, and the next song.
The title of this song is "Losing my mind". I hope you like it, and the Bass playing :)
Now for the Youtube stuff.

Coming next is the third of the old original songs, featuring Mick Paul.
I'm still beavering away on my album. Yesterday I woke up singing a song. Weird I know, but it was pretty good. I'm going to put the track together to see what it sounds like in real life, and if it's good enough, it can go on the album.
Neuroanatomists Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
This is AMAZING and worth the watch as she describes her experience and insight into Mental Illness, CVA's, life, death, connections, and how she experienced her own brain fuction during her stroke.
There is an order ordained by grace by which all things seek the place from which to be, from which to grow from which to love, from which to know that all evidence of their living is connected to their placement in the scheme of things. And when they find this place, joy is expressed in sound and color and movement, like trees gathering into green forests as wildflowers applaud soft praise on mountainsides, and songbirds flying higher than we can see, coax raindrops to make puddles for children's splashing... because life depends on everything knowing it's place...and I know I belong with you.
shhhhh...I'm whispering in your ear...this way what’s different (between us) doesn't really matter.
The passion that can exist between a man and a woman is a worthy pursuit and if it's true that "it's the journey and not the destination", then the fulfillment comes in the feelings being generated as I press my mouth against the warmth of your ear and softly say, "hello".
Our acute sensitivity, whether 'tis loneliness or love we are feeling (for they are part and parcel of each other) has become our connection, yours and mine. It's as though I am (we are) caught up in some compelling inclination to acknowledge something that feels good between us ( even if it's pain), something that flows naturally from one to the other, responding to our most primal male and female instincts, something drawing me back to you time and again in hopes of sharing whatever it is in each of us ( our need to love and be loved, perhaps) that would cause a healing to begin. The deep wells of lonliness within us would make it impossible for us to be together and not be lost in each other…so you see, the circle goes on...
Life is amazing, isn't it...how inept we are at directing the course of our emotions...and yet we try, thinking we have power to control each and every impulse at it's source...
I hope you're smiling. this is me being in touch with you...
love
