We’re Only Building Walls

Here’s my entry ”We’re Only Building Walls”
When I was younger I spent some time in West Berlin and East Berlin as they were known then. I was always taken with the tragedy of families, lovers being separated by this cruel wall and the unfairness of it all especially after the devastation visited on the inhabitants during the war. This song in no way does it justice and is really pretty much unfinished but like a few other on here this is my last chance this month to submit something!
Great guitar playing and a lovely melody throughout – had me tapping my feet throughout. A great song, I really enjoyed listening to this!!
Alan, a great song, I love the drive of the guitar and the riff gives a sense of mystery!
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks Jayne!
Great song. The guitar riff gives it good driving beat, and the words are powerful and emotive. I like it a lot!
Jolly good, mate. Your guitar playing has never sounded better, with a rock steady beat and chords that remind me of some sixties songs. I like the idea of walls and bridges, too. Nice one, as ever. Cheers.
Great stuff again Alan. As Phil said earlier, a bit of a 60’s feel to it. Great guitar work
Really enjoyed listening, loved the melody and the walls and bridges idea! I can sense how enjoyable those chords are to play from your performance, and I loved the driving rhythm! Great!
Still waiting for you to put out a dud!
Fantastic – a pleasure to listen to, and poignant lyrics
Fab job again Alan, really enjoyed it.
Cracking song, I can easily imagine it with a full band!
And again Alan! This is another fab song. Loved it. When are you touring the West Country???
Interesting backstory. Is that a latin beat? Fine upbeat groove and powerful lyrics. Well done!
Fab little guitar motif in there and great concept for the song. Really enjoyed that, yet another cracker from you Alan.
Another fine song, Alan, beautifully performed. Knowing the background about Berlin adds to the experience.
Listening again… such an interesting tune! Gets my vote!
Thank you all for your comments! Really appreciate it x
