Carefree Chorus in Carers Week



Carefree Chorus in full flow
Fife Carers - Carefree Chorus in Concert! Our Carers Week celebrations included a coffee morning with entertainment provided by the Carefree Chorus. This Youtube clip shows us singing a song written for Carers Week by our Musical Director/Choir Master/Songwriter and occasional accompianist Bob Barclay.

The words for "Another Day" reflect the daily life of carers and strike a chord with many of them.

Another Day

It’s just another day, the same as any other.
Just another day, it passes in a haze.
I wish that I could have a day that’s really different
A day that’s just for me - not ending in a daze.

The word routine just sounds so normal
Now it’s trying to blow my mind
Ev’ry day the same procedures
Bite back words that seem unkind.
Rising- washing-dressing-eating
Can’t believe it see the time,
Toilet, shopping, just a cuppa
Oh for just one hour that’s mine.

It’s just another day, the same as any other.
Just another day, it passes in a haze.
I wish that I could have a day that’s really different
A day that’s just for me - not ending in a daze.

Time for bed reverse the process
Anything can take an age
I might think this should be my time
Haven’t got the strength to rage
Round the house and tidy up the debris left behind today
Make a list of what you couldn’t
Leave it for another day.

It’s just another day, the same as any other.
Just another day, it passes in a haze.
I wish that I could have a day that’s really different
A day that’s just for me
A day that’s just for me
A day that’s really just for me
