I am excited to be releasing a new single, The Only Thing.

The cover art features my Grandparents, Aida Elizabeth and Francis Leslie.
They were inspirational for the song.
We have a number of their lovely old things perched and propped about as well as these pictures.
It’s crazy, people going off to kill other people. But that’s what Francis was off to do. Unbeknownst bidding of elitist bankers and their for profit war.
The Only Thing is a political love song that subtly provides commentary on humanity’s plight that is valid both today and yesterday.
Common people just want peace, to live their lives and to love.
We don’t want to hear mainstream war-mongering rhetoric.
We don’t need divisive groupings that pits one group against another and does the elite’s fighting for them.
The Only Thing attempts to deliver this important message bare-bones: guitar, harmonica and vocals.

The Only Thing – Lyrics
I don’t want to struggle to survive
I don’t want to have to fight to stay alive
I don’t need to be on the side that’s won
I don’t want to be at war with anyone
The only thing I want to do
is to wake up next to you
I don’t want to be denied
I don’t want to be taken for a ride
I don’t want to read their news
I don’t want to believe their ruse
The only thing I want to do
is to wake up next to you
I don’t want to see in black and white
I’d rather look at rainbows shining in the light
I don’t want to carry a gun
I don’t want to have to shoot at anyone
The only thing I want to do
is to wake up next to you
You’re Never Too Old To Rock N Roll.
Peace,
George

Good job George!…..reminds of me of a cross between Neil Young and ex-Byrd Chris Hillman.
