On The Clyde

A sentimental tribute to my neighbourhood on the banks of the river Clyde, written and recorded on the eve of the Commonwealth Games which are being hosted here in Glasgow.

A tad similar to some of my other songs, namely 'Solway', 'Viewforth' and 'Sunrise', but never mind. Possibly letting some of my 70's influences show a bit here too.

This photo was taken a few hundred yards from my flat, on the bridge near the BBC HQ at Pacific Quay in Glasgow, on a surprisingly calm and sunny morning last winter.

Hope you like it, any and all feedback much appreciated, and thank you for checking it out :o)

cold air
bright sky

still water
on the Clyde

steam rising
sun shine

on the still water
of the Clyde

look west
to the ocean

from the still water
of the Clyde
