10 Songs I Wish I Had Written

Computer still broken, so here’s a list in the meantime. But by god when the machine is back and working I’ve got a great idea.

Songs are a very personal thing, too, so when I say I wish I’d written these, it’s kind a little unfair, of like saying “People I would like to have as my dad…” I’m glad these people wrote these songs:

Distant Sun - Crowded House

Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevie Wonder

God Only Knows - Beach Boys

My Traveling Star - James Taylor

Up On The Roof - Carole King

Georgia On My Mind - Ray Charles

Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix

Allentown - Billy Joel

All This Time - Sting

Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tenile

I realise the people credited didn’t necessarily write these songs, but you know. There are many more songs, some even from this decade, that I wish I had written.

    I read this and immediately - like immediately - I can hear Jimi Hendrix as if he’s in the room with me. “Somewhere, a queen is weeping. Somewhere, a king has no… wife.”
