I was on the train going through the Argyle Line tunnel. Lost all connection to the outside world, Decided to start a song in Chordbot. Got engrossed working out chord sequence. Suddenly aware the train was pulling into a station. Looked up and it's 20 mins later, "This is Newton, the next stop is..." Provisionally saved the song as Newton, the lyrics followed later.
Not happy with my singing on the verses. Pulled them, must do again. I used the backing vocals through the song to give the gist. Must finish later.
New Town
Music and Lyrics Mark Scullion 2022
I feel it when I walk,
I hear it when they talk
I see it with my eyes
Although they try to hide it
Indifference is everywhere
I see it in their blurb
I hear it in their words
I taste it in the air
Although they try to hide it
Distrust is everywhere
New house, new street, new life, new people to meet.
New town, new job, new life, new people to meet

I'm really digging the rhythmic interplay between the drums and the other parts, very cool!

Great lyrics and story! I like how you use your different senses for the lyrics in the verses. The backing vocals weave in and out of perception, like the sights and stops that you pass on the train. The drumbeat reminds me somewhat of a ticking clock.
