The thought that when someone has passed on they still seem to be around.
I think this would be a good pitch for a Paul Carrack type of singer. Unfortunately I have no connection with him. Any thoughts on possible pitch targets?
Touching song I was thinking maybe a verse swap
But it sounds good the way it is to. Nice music
Production also.

Thanks for that Corey. I’ve already put it out in an EP so it’s too late to tweak. Thanks for having a listen.

I’ve been trying to place the voice and I’d say you’re somewhere between Del Amitri’s lead singer and Jackson Browne… (nice problem to have!)
Great song, keep up the good work!

Wish We'd Had More Time
© Samuel Speirs 2019
v1
They tell me that I look like you,
More like you every day.
But I could never fill your shoes,
No matter what they say.
I don't come here too often,
Not as often as I could.
But I always have the feeling - where I am,
You're in the neighbourhood.
CHORUS
I just wish we'd had more time.
Wish we'd had more time.
Time to be together,
Time that we could tether,
In our minds.
Oh I wish,
I wish, I wish,
I wish we'd had more time.
v2
I know that I was just a boy,
When we put you in this ground.
My momma cried the preacher preached.
And we laid your body down.
Now I'm back with my own family,
They say, "Granpaw rest in peace."
And I have the strangest feeling - as I stand,
You're standing next to me.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
When the congregation sang, "Abide With Me".
I imagined you'd be coming back to me.
Feels like you do...
From time to time.
