about

This is a resonator guitar keeping the tempo and the song structure (it was recorded with a metronome click). Emma kindly sent me her vocals. I think they are sublime.

Van Gabriel: 'I'm getting excited about this one Si :)'

Lee Lucas: 'This is great guys and I had quite a surprise when I heard a man's voice on the opening I was expecting to hear Emma, but you got a great voice too Simon mate and the guitars sound great, and so does of coarse Emma.... Great duet that works very well.... Cracking job guys and that's going to be damn fine song in my book.'

Jinx Jones: 'Sounding great Simon loving the addition of Emma's beautiful vocal :))'

Mark J Bennett: 'You're right Simon, Emma's vocals are sublime.'

lyrics

You Got
You got everything to live for
You got time on your side
You got the whole world to explore and cherish
You got morning sun and evening tide

You got white clouds and sunny skies
You got hail and rain
You got sandy beaches and parasols
But, you’re gonna have some love and pain

There’s stars up in the heavens
Pretty soon you’re gonna name them all
You got a solar system of planets to love
If you only listen for their call

Chorus
So don’t you go a-worrying
Don’t you doubt or fear
Don’t you lose yourself to melancholy
Because hope is always near

You got films and books and TV shows
To admire and enjoy everyday
You got politicians and lifestyle debates
And if you want – you can have your own say.

You got love, devotion and holding hands
With someone who cares for you
You’re gonna grow old gracefully
Knowing that you bin knew!

You got Friday nights and Sunday mornings
The occasional glass of wine
Friends who will stand beside you
Pretty much most of the time

Chorus
So don’t you go a-worrying
Don’t you doubt or fear
Don’t you lose yourself to melancholy
Because hope is always near

You got books and stories and poetry
You got influences of all kinds of stuff
You got music, old and new
You know – you just can’t get enough

You’re gonna walk out into the countryside
‘N brush your hair ‘til you’re grey
You’re gonna cycle and run after the midday sun
You know you’re gonna be OK

You got singing and playing the guitar
You got Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’
You got Youtube, Ebay and Facebook
While you listen to Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’

Chorus
So don’t you go a-worrying
Don’t you doubt or fear
Don’t you lose yourself to melancholy
Because hope is always near
