A Spring sunday we had our oldest son and his family here at home. Our two grandkids noising around as only kids can, but apart from that it was a slow sunday. I really love my family and being around them. Especially as I lost my own kids early years when I was trying to make a career in real estate. Stupid I know now. So I try to be there for my grandkids.
The shift from focusing on me, my own, career, money or what ever I thought was important to the things I find important today started with me meeting my love Åsa. We met at the local pizzeria. Yeah, on the local pizzeria..... romance, ehee. But you know, she was good looking, nice to talk to and .... well I just made a move. Little did I know, that my life was about to change big time.
Any way, sitting in the sofa this sunday I took out the guitar and started strumi´n. Old chord progressions. I put a B7 chord in and it sounded nice and almost new. My oldest said at dinner "-It´s so nice when your just slow playing your guitar when we are here". So..... I thought, he liked it! B7 chord and everything!
Next day I started work. I didn't take long to find the melody. But lyrics. The song came out a kind of English Pub sing-along type of song so something pubish? Or something from a pizzeria, maybe? And I remembered how it was meeting Åsa there. Everything was just great, she accepted my moves, and sent all that small signals and glances back to me. It was going great. But, I suddenly realized, she was already married ... to him. Well as you understand she eventually got rid of the old guy and hooked up with me. A new....old guy.
I remember how it felt and how wrong I read her message to me. So this became the lyrics for the demo track "Why can´t you see".
Hope you like it!
