I was born Herbert F. Mound on September 18th, 1957 and, like my father and his father before him etc, I am an unrecognised songwriter. After an unfinished attempt at my first song, a song called "How Many Times" in July, 1973, I began writing songs regularly from April, 1974 onwards. However, the vast majority of these have gone unheard and I feel it's time that some of them finally saw the light of day before, as they say, it's too late. TRIVIA --- On a KEFW school expedition in the summer of 1971, I accidentally fell into an accumulation of partially decayed and carbonised vegetable matter and was thereafter known by the nickname of 'Peat' to school friends. This got mistaken by others for 'Pete', and as I grew older people naturally began to assume my name was Peter. I needed a surname to go with it, so I threw a dart out of my window and decided that I would take the name of the person it hit. It hit a bloke called Anderson, but I didn't fancy that name and so, for no particular reason, I chose the name Eckersley instead. p.s. This profile is a bit of a spoof in 1 or 2 places, so don't take all of it too seriously. But please take the important bits very seriously! Thank you for reading thus far...

I agree. The piano in parts of the song sounds very similar to Imagine. Don't know if you like Sting, but I did a video similar to that one to the tune of "Fields of Gold." If you want, check it out. I did one to "In My Life" as well. Feel free to check them out. Take care.
Thanks
