RHW… adversity makes you reach out to your true peeps and those people who have made a difference in your life… my wee brother David decided to leave us yesterday at 4pm… dropped dead in his living room… I was there… outrageous …the YouTube video of ‘Tom McDowall Plays Guitar in Glasgow’ that you posted was cool… this was the other video that no one saw… David playing his favorite song… Smalltown Boy.

You leave in the morning with everything you own
In a little black case alone on a platform
The wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home

Run away, turn away, run away
Turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away
Turn away, run away

Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy, you were the one
That they’d talk about around town
As they put you down

And as hard as they would try
They’d hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul
No you never cried to them, just to your soul
