knocked this little ditty up yesterday during my massive headache, excuse the strangled voice as my throat is now collapsing in sympathy with my imploding skull!

it only lasts 2mins 25seconds so its not too long out of your busy schedules 😀

http://www.myspace.com/music/10533093/songs/74996665/

the lyrics are:

"So What?" - Old Ghosts

so what if i needed you
so what if I were true
so what if I hurt you
So what, what should we do?

this livin aint easy
but dyings too hard
this grief it confounds me
its dark, where you are
so dark, where you are

so what are you thinking
so where will you go
so far when your near me
so hard, to let go
its so hard, to let go

so move all the future
my heart bears a scar
I still hold you in me
where ever, where ever, ever you are
where ever, ever you are

so whys it all broken
so where'd it go wrong
so what did i mean to you
so what, did you want
so what, did you want

so what if we break up
so its all gone wrong
so whats left inside of me
just tears, and this song
there's tears, for what went wrong.

(c) Old Ghosts 2010

The complete song was written & completed in about 20mins, yesterday, All recorded on my iphone4 using voice memo as I no longer have access to a studio, on a battered and world wery 1966 framus accoustic with a capo on the second fret.

I know posting this on here is throwing myself to the wolves but hell I feel rough as hell and could do with the sport 🙂

You're absolutely right - I thought Dylan wrote that for some reason.

Great stuff anyway, like all of them. Pretty good sound on "So What?" considering you did it on your phone as well.

Mrnutt

I cannot get your tune to work on my iphone but i will report back, but have you tried any of the four track apps?

I have one cleverly named 4Tracks it is blinding!

You can get a taster freebie app give it a go

You can point your brwser to your phone or upload straight to "soundcloud" from your phone.....

Hey Nutt, those lyrics make me sad, probably cos I've met you and have an idea what it's about.
Try listening to my link on your poignant thread...

[edit][i]sound like Ian Curtis[/i].. Do what??
