Yeah pretty good now that work has finally finished for the week. Finally.

How's your song coming?

EDIT: Acrobat just really sucks.

Haven't done much with it and not sure where to go next, yet with it.

Nobody in sight and nary a bump in the night
Nor any noise 'cept for a busker with no well-earned applause
The bricks were still and the movement was nil
Wind absent and the warmth heaven-sent
Two friends uninterested in the night's end
Sounds of arriving feet, the few left to disipitate
Taken by winds of change in the distance

One lonely soul singing to survive with his money bowl
Looking to sing another day, through another day
Sing for the moment, sing for the soul, sing to achieve his goal
Of that he just can't fathom another day of famine

Young child lost on the street corner, miles from home
Lost, so alone, broken and aching, cold and shaken
She weeps whilst the unaware city sleeps
In their own dreams.

I think I'll leave it as that...it's more a spoken poem than a song. I think I'll record it.

I might do it with Beautiful Ghost in the background.

That's your choice If you think you can make it better, go for it, but be aware of overdoing it. Do what you think is the best for the song

I think I'll try to record one of my songs later, if I can get my voice to wake up and sound decent.

Nope that's as far as I wanna go. Added an extra line to it. It's recorded with a U2 instrumental (one of my favourite U2 or Bono tunes).

4 / 10. It may be hard to hear me speaking in it as I've kept it a poem not a song.

I've always found Acrobat the weakest Achtung track followed by One and then Even Better - but even with those three, it's a brilliant album if not one of the best I've ever heard (and I've played hundreds of full albums!). But then Zooropa and Original Soundtracks came along, three and five years before I was a fan, and I listen to those a lot more lately for some reason. Although if we didn't have One, we wouldn't have U2 and have this place.

Original Soundtracks is a masterpiece.

I thought so too some time ago, but I slowly realize the beauty of Acrobat, that guitar work!
