Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
The "Adrian song of the week" may have become "The Adrian song of every other random week," but that's OK. The world keeps turning. lol. I have been busy with other things. One thing going on is that in the next few weeks I have a number of weddings in numerous locations to officiate. These include one on the beach, one in a barn, one in an aquarium, as well as a couple in the more traditional setting of a church. No matter all the stresses of the last few years (and those we are currently passing through) the mystery is that people still keep falling in love, committing their lives to each other and celebrating their togetherness. It always seems that everybody is cynical about the prospect of love, and finds it an altogether silly state of affairs, until it happens to them. So, I wish each happy couple all the very best and will do my utmost to see their special day is one that truly celebrates where they are in their lives right now. May the good fairy sprinkle stardust on their nuptials! It seemed appropriate to share a luvvy duvvy song composed for the object of my own affections, my wonderful, tolerant, long suffering wife, Yvonne. How she came to fall for somebody like me and has stuck with me all these years will always remain a mystery. Though probably a pipe dream, it would be a wonderful ditty to perform with a full band (rather than just a band of Adrian's). While I am a reasonable multi instrumentalist, I excel in none in particular. A group of talented folk could surely rock this one to the heights. but, as with a lot of things in life, it's the best I could do with the resources and time that I have. so... enjoy. And if you want to imagine Bonham on the drums, Clapton on the guitar, McCartney on the Bass, Wakeman on the keyboards... then... hey... don't let me stop you.
Lyrics
Love is a mystery and life is crazy Adrian J Pratt 3/24/2011 There's no reason why the sun should shine There's no reason why you should have ever be mine There's no reason why a young man should fall in love But, boy, once you've fallen there ain't no getting up' I'm held captive by your beauty I'm held captive by your charms, I want to hold you in my arms. There's no reason why the moon is full tonight There's no reason why your perfume smells so right There's no reason why this glass of wine just tastes so fine There's no reason why a girl like you should ever have be mine I'm held captive by your beauty I'm held captive by your charms, I want to hold you in my arms. Your love for me is beyond comprehension A mystery that I can't understand I cannot fathom why I gained your attention Can't understand why you took my hand Now here we stand and watch the sun go down Watch the sea fade into gold, holding each others hands And as our love grows deeper and as the years roll by, Just enjoy the ride and don't pretend that we know why... There's no reason why our hearts should keep on yearning There's no reason why this old world keeps on turning There's no reason why the two should become one There's no reason why our song just keeps playing on and on Held captive by your beauty I'm held captive by your charms, I want to hold you in my arms. Your love for me is beyond comprehension A mystery that I can't understand I cannot fathom why I gained your attention Can't understand why you took my hand Your love for me is beyond comprehension A mystery that I can't understand I cannot fathom why I gained your attention Can't understand why you took my hand.... oh no...
