Well guys, this is the final song of the project! Today’s song is called “Scrapheap” and was written in response to the Morning Star’s headline “Thrown On The Scrapheap”. The story concerns employees of the firm Remploy being forced to take cumpulsory redundancy – despite many of them being disabled. I can sympathise with these people as my town, Kilmarnock, lost one of its last great employers this year when the drinks giant Diageo closed the Johnnie Walker whisky plant.
I know it seems like I’m ending the project on a bit of a downer, but I’ve tried to make the song as upbeat as possible despite the lyrics. I hope you like it and I hope you’ve enjoyed listening to all my efforts over the past week.
