1.
If You Need Somebody. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). Hey girl… How ya doin’? I’m hopin’ everything is still alright Here’s the thing Thought I’d call you Just to hear You tonight Just hang on Don’t hang up now Cause there’s somethin’ i just wanna say Ohh yeah Wanna tell ya We don’t know But we might If we could just Get it right We could say the words we want tonight If you need somebody If you want somebody If you love somebody Let them know Now I Gotta feelin’ That this love can open up that door Cause you know Love is healin’ But I can’t wait for you anymore When I know It’s a sure thing You just gotta put your trust in me Darlin’ please Let me show ya Here we are We’re so close Don’t give up When there’s hope Holdin’ on is all we need to know If you need somebody If you want somebody If you love somebody Let them know We don’t know But we might If we could just Get it right We could say the words we want tonight If you need somebody If you want somebody If you love for somebody Let them know If you need somebody If you want somebody If you love somebody Let them know
2.
Could This Be Love? (Bidmead/ Buchanan). I feel I’ve waited a lifetime Now I can see And this just feels the right time So close so real to me I was so undecided Couldn’t see the forest for the trees All the time I was searchin’ You were right in front of me Have I have finally found someone this time And is it true? If we both lay our hearts on the line Could this be love? Cause every moment just feels so right If this is love I’ll be lovin’ you Day & night This must be love You and I makin’ memories To guide us through the years Riding waves of emotion On the ocean of smiles and tears When will I ever understand myself? (Since I found you) I can’t think about anyone else Could this be love? Cause every moment just feels so right If this is love I’ll be lovin’ you Day & night This must be love Now I’ve opened my eyes to see inside (Because of you)… (Hushed voice) There’s no reason for us to hide This might be love I think it’s love Could this be love? Cause every moment just feels so right If this is love I’ll be lovin’ you Day & night This must be love Could this be love? Cause every moment just feels so right If this is love I’ll be lovin’ you Day & night This must be love
3.
Slippin’ Away. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). Just when you think you’ve got it right The truth behind the fantasy Has taken over me Cause I’d been searchin’ all my life Finally thought I’d found the one Now it’s all undone I’m tired of hanging on your broken promises Just when I thought we were getting closer It seems We’re slippin’ away I feel our love is slowly Slippin’ away No longer one and only Cause you and I We were meant to fly Slippin’ away What can I do without you? Slippin’ away And everythin’ about you Still breaks my heart Somebody come and save me from Slippin’ away So tell me where do I begin? To start on getting over you What can I do? If only we could start again Or maybe I should walk away No more to say And we were just getting to the good part you and me Then I turn around It’s over you say I know what you’re sayin’ But do you know? Say it’s not so And all the games you’re playin’ They don’t fool me Can’t you see? Meant to be Chorus I feel you’re slippin’ away I feel you’re slippin’ away I feel you’re slippin’ away I feel you’re slippin’ away
4.
Until I Found You. (Bidmead/ Buchanan/ Corvin). You can look and you might find A love that stands the test of time I thought I knew it all And though I'd given up, much too hard to find What i’ve been searching for And I never thought I'd fall in love again I said too many times you just never win With a heart that beats in time with mine I've searched so long its true And I never knew love Until I found you You can plan your whole life through But in the end it’s down to you and I To break down these walls And if we try Two hearts will beat as one for now And forever more And I never thought I 'd fall in love again Said too many times you just never win With a heart that beats in time with mine I've searched so long its true And I never knew love Until I found you I know it’s hard to realise Too many times I’ve tried to fall in love again And I never thought I 'd fall in love again I said too many times you just never win With a heart that beats in time with mine We’ve searched so long its true And I never knew love Until I found you Until I found you
5.
Never Gonna Give You Up. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). Never gonna give you up no I’m Never gonna give you up no Never gonna give you up no I’m Never gonna give you up not again Never gonna give you up no I’m Never gonna give you up no Never gonna give you up no I’m Never gonna give you up no Never gonna give you up no I’m Never gonna give you up no Never gonna give you up Never never never gonna give you up Here I am I’m all alone No one home Tryin’ to find some peace of mind What am I? Supposed to do Without you Am I better off this time? Now I know that I Can’t change anything Will I ever learn? That we can’t play to win Oh no… Chorus. Lookin’ for Wanting more Never sure Sometimes it’s a waiting game Killin’ time Bottom line Doin’ fine Though it’s just a cryin’ shame Because in this life Nothin’ goes to plan No more gettin’ hurt But I still don’t understand Chorus. Somethin’ inside Won’t let you go But how will we ever know Goes to show Show you that I’m never gonna give you up Chorus.
6.
Goodbye Yesterday. (Bidmead/ Buchanan/ Corvin). It’s only tears Not the end Someday you'll love again And through the years Time was a friend For this broken heart to mend And love is the answer Yeah love is the answer So hello good morning, welcome to my life I’m livin’ for today I never thought my heart would see me through But I survived it anyway So goodbye yesterday So many tears We all possess Will finally come to pass And you will only see the truth By finding love at last Cause love is the answer Yeah love is the answer And night It’s so much easier today Oh to stand and fight Now I know what’s wrong And I know what’s right Chorus
7.
Miss Josephine. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). 4pm cold Monday afternoon Make my way to my favourite deli See ya soon Way you look behind that counter Gets me through Ain’t nobody does barista the way you do If you’re gonna surrender To mediocrity Better off with a guy like me Miss Josephine Miss Josephine When the daytime turns to nighttime Feeling down Can’t face one single day Without you around Can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t think Don’t understand Like a king without a clue I’m a nowhere man I never meant to offend her Some things are meant to be Hanging out with a guy like me Chorus. Love could this be love? Have I found love? Life goes on, things change In the neighborhood Disappear without a trace Could’ve been so good Changed my life, clothes job & address If you could see There’s no happy ever after For a guy like me An affair to remember Starring you & me Real life on the silver screen Chorus
8.
My Love 05:17
My Love. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). Pouring rain In my heart I thought this love would last forever Lover’s night Shadows fall If we could start again Promises I swear it’s true Put my trust In me and you My love Giving you all I’ve got to give Send you my love You are the reason I can’t live Without your love This is our moment now forever Don’t throw it away Passing time Sleepless nights Love gets in the way The city sleeps Quiet hours It’s just a dream they say But dreams come true Eye to eye A second chance And the reason why I give you Chorus. I think I’m falling again I feel I’m falling again I know I’m falling again My love is falling again Your love is falling again Our love is falling again
9.
Shining Star 05:38
Shining Star. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). When darkness falls Around my heart These four walls They just tear me apart On my own Thoughts collide Heart of stone And my foolish pride If only I could love you You’re my soul You’re my shining star You’re the one that I call When things go too far You’re the guiding light You’re my second sight In this world Morning light Face the truth Though I’ll survive I’m still missin’ you… yeah This empty glass Another lonely night Can’t forget the past Outta love Outta sight I wish that I could love you Chorus. If only you and I could talk it over Things will be all right I keep playing it over and over in my mind Tonight If only I could love you Chorus. If only I could love you Chorus.
10.
Happy When I’m Sad. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). When I was young I knew That things would turn out fine But that day when I met you... Oh oh oh As fresh as morning dew Passion from the vine But I never had a clue... No no He stole my heart And broke my smile But I’ll be back in a while You know it’s true… I don’t why I’m happy when I’m sad In the blink of an eye some good can come from bad To know the truth of life I look into myself To find the reasons why My life is well designed You gotta please yourself Could be my only crime The perfect life when i get home Cause i’ll be there on my own Without you… I don’t why I’m happy when I’m sad In the blink of an eye some good can come from bad He stole my heart And broke my smile But I’ll be back in a while Without you I don’t why I’m happy when I’m sad In the blink of an eye some good can come from bad I don’t why I’m happy when I’m sad And I ain't gonna cry for the love I never had I dunno why Livin’ a lie But now I know why Ain’t gonna cry No no
11.
All Because Of You. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). When I think about our love And what we have It takes me from back then To here & now Caught up in a world I thought I had And time goes by Been waitin’ for the day (I could let you know) These words I wanna say (Darlin’ don’t you know) You took my breath away It’s all because of you (My heart/ says so) Never felt this way before Never knew that love could be so fine This love/ you know That nothing really matters Cause I know All because of you Lover’s come & go And life goes on But baby you & I will stand the test of time And now I know what I’m feeling Can’t be wrong In my life When everything’s Ok (Don’t need a reason why) Our love is here stay (We see eye to eye) Together come what may It’s all because of you (My heart/ says so) Never felt this way before Never knew that love could be so fine This love/ you know That nothing really matters Now I know All because of you I was the lonely one So far away Now you’re the only one Who lives in my heart today It’s all because of you (My heart/ says so) Never felt this way before Never knew that love could be so fine This love/ you know That nothing really matters Now I know All because of you It’s all because of you (My heart/ says so) Never felt this way before Never knew that love could be so fine This love/ you know That nothing really matters Now I know All because of you
12.
Hard Goodbyes. (Bidmead/ Buchanan). Here we are You and I Just like a falling star We had it all Now I don’t where you are I just know you’re gone I don’t believe in these hard goodbyes What does it take to be satisfied? Heartbreak and a string of lies All alone in this room City lights Wonderin’ you who you’re dancin’ with tonight I’ve given up on tryin’ to make it right I fool myself that I’m ok Love’s always hard to find And the truth isn’t always kind But I know that love Is better when it’s gone I don’t believe in these hard goodbyes What does it take to be satisfied? But no matter how I try Let me down easy Goodbye is still goodbye Goodbye… These hard goodbyes Here we are You and I Just like a falling star We had it all Now I don’t where you are

about

Solo Record #2: 'Goodbye Yesterday.

I decided to go all out on this album. Not only to have strong content but to work really hard on having a far more cohesive sound throughout by utilising the same rhythm section & chief engineer on the entire project, then to add flavours from outside musicians (Guitarists/ Lead Vocalists/ Soloists etc).

I also had in mind to utilise some overseas musicians in the mix for the overall sound. I can't express enough how much of a treat it was to hear Robbie Buchanan & Bill Champlin's dropbox files of their performances as they came in. I had a few other Lead Vocalists cut 'Never Gonna Give You Up' however when I heard Bill's take on it, I just knew we had it + when we, (the rhythm section) tracked to Robbie's Fender Rhodes part for 'Until I Found You' it felt so wonderful it was like he was in the room.

Overall Glenn, (Candy) & I wrote some nice music for this record & I look forward to the third instalment soon to complete a trilogy of work, K.

PS: Sadly Candy (Corvin) passed away a few years back. I need to thank her for reaching out to me & sending some beautiful lyrics to which I still have safely kept for new material & for gifting me the title cut 'Goodbye Yesterday' for the album + 'Until I Found You'. R.I.P. Candy, K.
