Time and Time Again (Roger, Todd, Paulo, Neal, Andy)

[riggorog]

This is a song I wrote a few months ago. I posted the acoustic guitar/lyrics here and everyone else jumped on board to turn this into a very beautiful song.

If you guys didn't know, I have had MS since 2003, so this song is really a statement about my life. Basically, it's saying that nobody gets it and I'm tired of trying to make people understand how I feel. It's sad, but makes for a good song

Thanks to everyone that contributed. You really did an outstanding job and it's greatly appreciated I'll post the lyrics and collaborators below.

Thanks Paulo

A song which conveys emotions, frustration but also hope. Hope, because only you can deal with your problems and the creation of this beautiful song shows that you are in fact doing that. We all have to adapt at various points in time, new life references, new constraints. Take the positives and build on them.

Superb performances by all involved.

Cheers
Mike

Edit: Just listened to Neals alternate mix - nice job too Neal

I agree 100% with Mike and his thoughts.  Thanks for the kind words about my mix as well. 

But whatever the mix - it's the SONG that is the real star here and Roger wrote it.

Take care,
Neal
