We’ve Got It Made – a new song by Willie Dowling
Greetings to one and all,
Since it would appear that the authorities have decided that there will be a Xmas YET AGAIN this year, I thought I’d attempt to do some small thing to mark the occasion.
So here it is.
A final song from me for 2023.
This is We’ve Got It Made and you can stream or download it from Bandcamp.
In these miserable times when many are struggling to keep their heads above water financially, I would once again encourage you to have this song for free, but if you should feel inclined to contribute a few pence towards a rather fancy Stollen that I’ve had my eye on since Xmas last year, you can do so on the Bandcamp download page. No matter if things are tight and you really can’t afford it I’ve still got some nuts left over from last year.
We've Got It Made began life as an attempt to write something buoyant, positive and uplifting.
But with crushing inevitability, the grim reality of multiple recent events reared their ugly heads, so you MIGHT feel that you can spot just a hint of cynicism sprinkled here and there.
You’ll hear my old friend Darby Todd on drums, and I’m playing all other instruments and vocals, helped out on high backing vocals by the extraordinarily talented Maisie Lewis, and a wandering crowd of hooligans who broke into the studio and insisted on making some animal noises.
Next year starting in January, in what I think may strike some of you as a bizarre change of approach, I will be releasing my new album The Simpleton on a song by song basis.
I’ll let you know when the first track is available.
Have a Great Xmas and New Year!
Willie
