It took me around 50 years to write what is contained within these 140 or so pages. The following are just some of my lyrics and poems, just a fraction of them, sketched down since 1979 throughout my life. They cover a wide range of topics, but mostly about living life, growing older and (hopefully) wiser, and looking back over the landscapes of my life of how I perceived it, both real and imaginary.

I wanted to publish them for posterity's sake and as a symbolic token that I was here,

Once here amongst you, In the land of the living

When I was here, I had a voice, a mind, and a thought or two, but most of all, I could feel.

And what I could feel, I could mostly express in song...for reasons unknown to me at the time.
