THE COLLECTOR


THEY CALL ME THE COLLECTOR
BEEN THAT WAY RIGHT FROM THE START
COS' I'LL FIND A LITTLE MEMORY
AND PUT IT RIGHT BESIDE MY HEART
WHEN THE SHOEBOX'S OVERFLOWING
I PUT IT ON THE SHELF
ONLY THEN I TAKE A GOOD LOOK
I TAKE ANOTHER GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF

BUT TODAY I'VE STOPPED COLLECTING
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED
WHILE THERE MAY BE RECOLLECTIONS
I FINALLY BELIEVE

THAT I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER
IN YOU AND YOU ALONE
COS' YOU LIVE IN THE PRESENT
AND I'M ABOUT TO CALL THAT HOME
WAS ALL THE TIME I WASTED
SAVING UP THE PAST
A LESSON THAT I HAD TO LEARN
OR JUST A REASON TO BE SAD

BUT TODAY I'VE STOPPED COLLECTING
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED
WHILE THERE MAY BE RECOLLECTIONS
I FINALLY BELIEVE
THAT NOW I'LL START THE LIVING I'VE ALWAYS LONGED TO LEAD
WITH PICTURES AND MEMENTOS JUST FADING MEMORIES

THEY CALL ME THE COLLECTOR




Love the song and voice

I've never heard a song about a collector before, even though the world is highly populated with them. High score for originality of content! The song very effectively tells the story, with clearly enunciated vocals. The story really draws the listener in well. The vocals come across as honest and heartfelt, as well as positive...that he found what he was really looking for in his loving (girlfriend/wife/partner). Great word pictures (shoebox overflowing put up on the shelf). I love the way you ended the song...perfect! Bravo! I loved your song!

Beautiful song , beautiful lyrics , nice heartfelt song ,,....
i found myself playing guitar in my head along with the nice chord arrangement .
I love the simplicity of the recording .... simply captivating !
Great work !

I love this song. You had me from the first four lines.
I love the story you crafted in V1. The music was very good. I wanted more of a musical hook with highs and lows. And more contrast between the verse and chorus.

Cool song that could go into the country category, even as just a guitar/vocal recording.

Very introspective and well done song with a really good and smooth flow. Voice puts me to mind very much of Paul Simon.

This song is really great

Nice little ballad of just vocals and guitar. well sung/nice vocal , good lyrical theme. well performed and most important it sounds natural and real with good sound.

Wow - great song love everything about it

Tender love story with very pleasing vocal. Balance between voice and guitar was perfect, not too loud or over powering. Well done. I have enjoyed this nights work of reviewing and glad you were a part of it.
