That's great - a real song - bit morbid but I love your outlook on life Mark.

Been watching the great movies you recommended a few posts ago. Please let us know if you have any more suggestions.

Just the ending "smile as you approach the grass" but I quite possibly got the metaphor wrong for that.

Made me recall a much much more extreme "mis hearing" my sister had during our teen years...Steve Miller Band's Jet airliner". She thought he was saying " big old Chad had a light on". Funny how things like that stick.😂

As in pushing up the daisies. Grass being more pleasant than dirt, but I probably got it wrong.

Beautiful voice! Love the tune too. The sound takes me back to those days...I wish I had a time machine

I'd dial back to the 70s and never 'come back to the future.

Thanks, Mark. Music makes everything better. This reminds me of Dire Straits. btw, thanks for all you do!

Thanks Mark, your song was great. But I wanted to thank you for bringing Gerry Rafferty's catalogue to my attention. growing up in the Uk in the 80's the only Rafferty song I was aware of was Baker Street, which I had always enjoyed on the radio. I have just spent the last 30 mins listening to a number of Rafferty songs. Wow, blown away. It just goes to prove what I already knew, which is that enduring success or fame has shit all to do with talent.

Yes, the nature vibe. Great tune Mark.

Here's nature vid to go with the vibe:

The Queen of Trees

a tale of intrigue and drama, set against grand Africa and its wildlife.
