Description

Vic had a lot to do with the production and guitars and I'd like to thank for his work on this song.
I wrote this some years ago and found it in my song book one day. 200+ songs..is it just a hobby?

Hope you enjoy!
Dave

Lyrics

I’m Really Not Here

I once threw it all away, couldn’t take it anymore
I tried to start it up again, but I couldn’t find the door
Somebody turned to me; I couldn’t see her face
Just like the time I find when I had a little space

You can see me
You can hear me
But I’m really not here

What lurks behind those circles in the middle of his eyes?
Does he have a place to go when he wants to hide?
Wondering, wondering what’s he doing here
Wondering, wondering what‘s he doing here

You can see me
You can hear me
But I’m really not here

	Great.. Great song, happy to hear a new song from you both again. Loved the work very much, one of your best vocal deliveries I guess and as usual a treat listening to Vic's music... Cool! Take Care - Yeman A. Al-Rawi

Very cool
This is great; the combination of Vic's guitar and your vocal delivery is potent! I like the lyrics and the singing is great - you perform this with real attitude and verve. The guitar works really well - blistering solo work and lovely sound throughout. A great collaboration - one of those marriage made in heaven kind of deals! Looking forward to more! Nicely done to both of you. Peace.

	Nice collab! Remarkable restraint on the drums - I wish I could hold back like that! Vic's guitars work really well with your vocals on this - a very cool rocker.
