There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

well here we are again in a sea of songs, 1 week old, comments and all and not enough zongs

Lyrics

What happened lads, to all the fun we’ve had
Where we’d listen to you and you’d listen to us
And now all we get, is a sea of neglect
Where all of our best efforts slip through the cracks

So what happened lads? What happened here?
Is my fault? Hope not
Is it nature’s decree?

We’d sit by the campfire, we’d strum guitars
Now we just look aside, wish each other to mars
Where is the contribution? To form your bonds
Are we scared it won’t be reciprocated once again?

So what happened lads? What happened here?
Is my fault? Hope not
Is it nature’s decree?
Is there someone to blame?
Is there something to see?

We could list off the songs without someone’s mark
But we’d be here all day, so we’ll move along
We could visit the rooms that are left in the dark
But we can’t find our way, so it takes too long

So what happened lads? What happened here?
Is my fault? Hope not
Is it nature’s decree?
Is there someone to blame?
Is there something to see?
Is it your fault? Hope not
Is it all meant to be?

I love the introspective questions you bring to this great chorus! Lots of wonderful reflection about how things change including perspectives and relationships.

I love the way you've expressed yourself here Charlie, and I can relate. And definitely not your fault. I like the way you've sprinkled "hope not" into your lyric, because one must always have hope.

Well, it has been a summer hasn’t it? Too busy for some, and too stressful for some, but there should always be a hope for camaraderie. Nice write, makes a good point.

I think I know the feeling, wondering if I’ve done something wrong when really I know it can’t be that simple. Nicely expressed, a very easy flow.
