Young free and single and living in the most amazing flat I had bought in East Dulwich, South London. Well not so young, I am thirty here, half the age I am now, goodness but how time has flown since those days - and look at the dark hair. Nostalgia is never a good thing but the things that have happened in the last thirty years would have confounded this boy. There is no way he could have seen them all coming, but that's not to say he wasn't happy here, he was, very. Yesterday I strummed some songs and one of them I wrote on that sofa, with that guitar, way back then and that is what brought this memory back. Its a curious thing, memory; listening to our own thoughts can remind us that staying this happy all the time is a real challenge. In fact its a challenge I feel every single day of my life and I can't be alone in thinking that, surely? But of course we change and with it our efforts go into making others happy and that is just fine too - and this track is I dont want to change...
