Topic: We Were Just Friends. ( Written By Phill and Peatle)
This song is based on a true story of a young man in his teens meeting a girl and not realizing that one day she will be his love of his life. Young man later on in life in his late twenties gets romantically involved with this same lady he met as a teenager after both had gone through a relationship that wasn't right.. They are soul mates, best friends and lovers this time for the rest of their life. In this year 2021 this couple will be celebrating their fortieth Anniversary. This is my story with Maree and so as a result I sent the start of an idea some lyrics with bad singing and guitar, to Phill Williams in the hope he could help me with his exceptional musical talent, make a good song out of this story of me and Maree. Not only did Phill grab hold of my initial idea perfectly, he also added better lyrics and music .His performance of this song is brilliant. Part of the reason why this song worked as it is does is this year is Phill and Ann's fortieth anniversary also. They met in their teens and had a very similar history as Maree and I. So this song is an amalgamation of a couple in Wales and a couple in New Zealand love history.
