Piri, I’m with you on modern recording tech ruining good songs. The way they record vocals and drums today in most instances today doesn’t appeal to my ears. Things like autotune are overdone in most recording also drum machines and synthesized bass and vocals.     

Brilliant lyrics Scott plenty to think about there. The way it flows I also love that you have captured the feeling of chaos when our world is turned upside down.
Swimming in mysteries
Lost in the maze
Fighting contradictories
Running through the haze

Pennies From Heaven
I love My Dog  by Cat Stevens.     

That is the good thing about songs is they can be covered by doing them in ways different from the original.  Songs covered by Joe Cocker who made "With A Little Help From My Friends" and other songs into something uniquely special though not always good as the original. Another example I can think of is the Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain clever take on The Who song "Tommy". Another example the disgraced Rolf Harris version of "Stairway To Heaven "

That song has got that bouncy trademark of the Burt Bacharach, Hal David sound and production.
I wonder if in the rural areas around the world dying towns where people have moved away from will see a return of people in years to come. Maybe its a bit like chordie nowadays not many people hanging around.
The song of Burt Bacharach and Hal David that stands out for me is "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" written for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.     

There is a  lot to think about in that song especially now when people all around the  world are in a In a long line leading to the providers door. Most countries now have behind certain doors admission's only guaranteed to the favoured few. Long waiting lists and plenty more.  Necessities costing more and more.     

That would have to be one of the best modern day single man blues songs that I know of.     

EB that is a real good song first time I have heard it.     

Howdy Scott good to see you on here. I liked the electric guitar in your video.  All the best for your new home.     

Thank you Piri.   Though I know you mean it in a different way, I couldn’t see myself being a rent boy even though as a teenager I had an infatuation with a lady who if she had been my girlfriend it would have made me a toyboy.

Richard that is a good extension to your marketing armoury.     

Thank you Jan I was a bit worried that my attempt at trying to do something a little different might be pushing my simple idea in a direction that just wouldn't have any musical merit.
