I have another OFFICIAL RELEASE to share with y’all!
“It Ain’t Alright” – cowritten and performed with the lovely and talented Rachel Horter. She’s wonderful to work with – an incredible singer and songwriter and I have a feeling you’ll be hearing a lot more from her soon.
Hope you enjoy the song we wrote!

Finally, I’m using Patreon to fund my musical career, since really none of us pay for music these days – not lamenting, it’s just the world we live in. I don’t know the last time I bought a CD! That said, I have one $5 tier on Patreon (it’s a subscription for as many or as few months as you like), and in exchange you get to come along with me on my journey, with exclusive videos of what I’m up to, songs I’m working on, and I gift you each new song as it’s released! Again, $5 (the price of one cup of coffee)… so if you’re looking for a way to support the arts, I’d love your help!
If you like what I’m up to, please consider “following” Cecil Charles on Spotify , Instagram, “liking” my page on Facebook, “subscribing” to my YouTube Channel, joining my journey on Patreon.com , and… perhaps most importantly… sharing my work with friends and family who you think might like it.

“It Ain’t Alright” – words and music by Cecil Charles and Rachel Horter.
VERSE 1
Some days go my way
I’m not hung up
on wishing that you would’ve stayed
But everything it changes
Other times my mind’s so unkind
I can’t stop staring
at that empty picture frame
Don’t know how to rearrange it
PRECHORUS
And I can’t help feelin’ so low (solo)
Even though I know
CHORUS
Well it ain’t alright
but it’s alright
we all lose what we love
but there’s more that we can find
and I ain’t been right, no
but it’s alright,
and everybody knows how to leave,
but baby, could you leave the past behind?
VERSE 2
Remember when we danced?
Breakin’ the rules
And takin’ every single chance
But still something went wrong
Now that song it
always plays
got my mind spinning back
to memories we made
Hurts to listen when it comes on
PRECHORUS 2
But every time that record slows
I give it another go
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Wishing, wishing that you would have stayed
I hear that song it always plays
in my mind
VERSE 3
and we all tend to pretend
There’s always something better
just around the bend
Hoping it’s real when you get there
But sometimes
I just can’t see
how that story
could be anything but fantasy
When real love is so rare
PRECHORUS 3
And though this book seems closed
Who knows how the story goes
