Sitting At The Bottom Of The Sea (New Song)

Haven't put a video on for ages. Am having building work done at home, so it's usually too noisy, so thought I'd do a quick video on my phone of a new song being tried out while busking yesterday. It was the first busk of the year where I didn't need a coat..clear blue sky all day : -)
Haven't completely worked out how to play it. Left out the bit where I was setting up the loops as it then it goes on a bit too long before getting going!
I realised part way through the song that I didn't know how I was going to end it...keeps things fun.
I took it as a good sign that someone came and bought a CD at the end of it : -)

Lyrics:

Sitting At The Bottom Of The Sea

I'm sitting at the bottom of the sea,
sitting at the bottom of the sea,
trying to get the world to talk to me,
it's cool and it's calm
at the bottom of the sea.

No choices to make,
no choices to make,
lots of weird fishes swim round me.
I'll come back when I'm ready
from the bottom of the sea.

Yes it's all in my head,
yes it's all in my head,
but maybe it's as real as you and me.
It's easier to breath
at the bottom of the sea.

So, I'm sitting at the bottom of the sea,
sitting at the bottom of the sea,
trying to get the world to talk to me,
it's cool and it's calm
at the bottom of the sea.
I'll come back when I'm ready,
from the bottom of the sea.
I'll come back if I'm ready,
from the bottom of the sea...
