I get asked a lot is this is a true story. The fact is, in this land of shame [England], it's ten thousand true stories.

This is a remake, of sorts. I've pretty much stripped the melody line away here. With my arms and fingers almost devoid of strength and feeling now, I figured I had one or two days left to get a 'Paul-Murphy-As-He-Used-To-Be' version down, and I went for it. You have to be careful on some songs not to let the/your emotion get the better of you - it's one thing to read the news to someone, if you shout it at them they tend not to stay and miss the story - but I owed myself one like this.

Light and peace,
Me

On a tertiary note, whilst here, if I may be so bold - I am uploading videos of my songs, my performances, my prose recitals, etc, to raise funds for my most amazing children, who get any donations when they reach 16. I have Progressive Palsy F-MND, and - well, and. There is no cure.

If you have enjoyed this video, and would care to make a small donation for them, many sincere thanks and much gratitude, from both myself, and from them via myself; the link is https://paypal.me/DylEmTrust

If you have listened and read this far, you have been extraordinarily kind with your precious time, and my sincere thanks for that. Waste not a second - I beg you.
