What's The Chances
Gramatically incorrect take on the April challenge of 'Chances'.
The space left in the middle to add an instrumental break at a later date is currently part filled by some coughing. I did consider re-recording but as I'd coughed my way through about 10 different takes, I left it in.
Hope you enjoy
Verse 1
What’s the chances that we both were wrong
Or if both of us were right
What’s the chances that we both can change
Turn the darkness into light
Verse 2
What’s the chances that our horse comes in
6 to 4 or 3 to 1
What’s the chances that we get to win
When they fire the starting gun
Chorus
Chances taking chances
Decisions to be made
Follow the guidance or break the rules
It’s a chance we have to take
Verse 3
What’s the chances that my team will win
Pretty slim, that’s for sure
What’s the chances they can maybe change
And be champions once more
Chorus
Chances taking chances
Decisions to be made
Follow the guidance or break the rules
It’s a chance we have to take
Middle 8
Life is all about the chances
Take a chance on all we do
Wether fighting or romances
Some you win and some you lose
Verse 4
What’s the chances of a world in peace
No more fighting no more war
What’s the chances they will someday cease
Can you hear the silence roar
Chorus
Chances taking chances
Decisions to be made
Follow the guidance or break the rules
It’s a chance we have to take
Lovely Huw. I’m getting a bit of a Bread / Paul Weller vibe. Fab chords, middle 8 gave a lovely shift and the sporting reference made me smile. I got to ask – football or rugby? Hope your cough gets better, well done for doing it “live” though.
Thanks Bec. I did have that Style Council sort of feel in my head while writing it. As for sporting reference, both Cardiff City for the footie and Wales of course for the rugby
Really nice Huw felt a 70’s vibe reminiscent of Bread. Love your chord progression. Easy listen. Luv it
Thank you so much Ann. Really appreciate the comment. David Gates was a great songwriter.
Great Huw. Gets my vote!
Lovely song Huw. Tasteful guitar. Really enjoyed it. Don’t worry about the coughing, I do it all the time. Didn’t spoil the song at all.
This has a great sound. I love the Simple arrangement . Great lyrics Huw. I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed your song Huw and echo Rebecca’s comment!
Great to hear this again… very clever lyrics and structure. Have a heart from me!
Really like this Huw – I think as I commented on FB got a great Style Council feel
