Another original song.
This is the first of two collaborations with an extremely talented Swedish musician called "Ulf Pettersson". He's

been in the music biz for a good few years now, and is currently a part of a Swedish band called "Galleon". This

song is called "Swings and roundabouts". Ulf has written many instrumentals, and this was originally one of those.

When I first heard it, I imagined vocals over the top, so I set to work on it, and this is the result. Again, this

is not on the "Sight Or Sound" album.

The lyrics are as follows.

------------------
Swings and roundabouts
------------------
Do I want to be alone.
'cause it looks so good from here.
I've been on the other side.
I know how it looks from there.
I know I wanted to be here.

Do I want to leave my home.
Do I really want to be free.
I'll just stand there.
I can't make my mind up.
It's the same as it's always been.

Swings and roundabouts play on my mind
and I don't know which way to go
It's the hardest decision to make.
On the greener grass I see my life going fast
and I don't know.
If I want it to go slow.

Do I really want to throw everything away.
Do I want to be free of the little things I hate.
I've been on the other side.
I can't make my mind up.
It's just the same as it's always been.

Swings and roundabouts play on my mind
and I don't know which way to go
It's the hardest decision to make.
On the greener grass I see my life going fast
and I don't know.
If I want it to go slow.

Beautiful. The chorus is decidedly lovely. Into the favorites you go. The hollow vocal at the end is a really nice touch.

I am also adding this song my page's playlist that recognizes underappreciated youtube talent.
