Ex west end professional singer looking to start band

im a singer songwriter who writes a bit folky who can play basic guitar and keyboards, looking for a much better guitarist than me. if you can write too that would be great
I like to write about contentious issues in society as well as personal experience like love and life nad loss . ill health, recovering from past issues like trauma, spirituality - but I am definitely not into new age spirituality!! I actually had a number of glimpses into what some people call non duality which I want to write about
co writing or separate each writing the performing together im open to
I see the possibility for change in society during these difficult times, but I also have a sense of humor.
Here a few of my lyrics to give you some ideas...

New strings on your guitar
You would shine through if you found the space to.
You're putting new strings on your guitar.
Do I cling to you? Well maybe that's what you want me to do.
Putting new strings on your guitar.

When they speak for you, you forget to breathe.
Putting new strings on your guitar
And you're tired of trying to see what everyone thinks you should see.
Putting new strings on your guitar

You'd love to celebrate but all the misery and hardship
Takes you away from the life your soul had planned.
Just understand it's not you, it's what you lived with that was out of your hands.

You're gonna climb through.
Just give you the chance to.
You're putting new strings on your guitar.
Do I cling to you well maybe baby you needed me to.
Now you've got new strings on your guitar


Song 2
in style of old spiritual blues song
Mmmmm
Well they got you so down can't get up anymore
Well they got you so down can't get up anymore
Well they got you so down can't get up anymore
You been fighting so hard nothing left in the store

Oo

In a coma so deep
No more light can get through
In a coma so deep
No more light can get through
In a coma so deep
No more light can get through
Cos they cheat and they burn and they stole from you too

Oo

In the silence a stirring is coming
In the silence a stirring is coming
In the silence a stirring is rumbling
Winters broken its back and your growing
Winters broken its back and you're crowing

Oo

Somethings awoken that brought you to life
Somethings awoken that's brought you to life
Somethings awoken that's brought you to life
It's the source of creation and you are the light
It's the source of creation and you are the light
Youre the source of creation the love and the light
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo



Last song- bit more lighter hearted.

Narcissist

Verse 1
Wheres he been these past days
Has he heard that you've changed
Are you sorry you slammed the door?
Wheres he been is he keen?
Reading Heat magazine
and believing those grandiose dreams?


Verse 2
Just cos you wouldn't do
the things that he'd do-
walk away and leave em for dead
doesn't mean that you'd stay and get treated that way
It was wake up or die in the end

Chorus
Cos you were a mirror
You were a fool
to think when you kissed he was kissing you too
he lied and pretended
To him not to you
Cos when you were kissing him he was kissing him too

Verse 3
The litter, the lines,
the glitter, the grime,
Are you sorry you walked away?!
Cos when faced with the truth
he sat up on your roof
till you called out the fire brigade

Chorus
Cos you were a mirror
You were a fool
to think when you kissed he was kissing you too
He lied and pretended
To him not to you
Cos when you were kissing him, he was kissing him too.

Okay. if you play decent guitar enough to play at gigs and even better of you can write lyrics I would love to her from you

I would need to rehearse preferably in my comfortable house in epping at first as im at the tail end of ha physical illness that lasted a few years (M.E ) ( not infectious) but it means im extending my comfort one again now and arent traveling very far at the moment
