What my #SaveWILG campaign is in need of is a theme tune. I hit upon this idea while listening to Spotify in bed the other night. Andy Williams was featured in this addition from 1985 and was performing his classic hit Can’t Get Use To Losing You.
Without permission, I have took it upon myself to change the words to this popular hit, in order to make it fit with the campaign. If anyone is interested in recording this song I would be happy to contribute to recording costs as I think it would be a really effective way of raising awareness. I am getting carried away with myself now, but I really like the new lyrics that I have created.
Anyway, see for yourself with the video of Andy Williams posted below, so you have no excuse not to sing along. I have also added a few paragraphs from Wikipedia about Andy Williams. I do hope there are no copyright issues over the use of this tune as I am giving the writers full credit and not claiming any credit for myself.
I hope you like my new version.

Guess I’ll fight back from my hometown
I’ll find a lifeline so I will
Though it will be harder without you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Struggling
No one pops in to say ‘Hello’
Since you’re gone it happens every day
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Struggling
Who am I kiddin’, only me
‘Cause no one else could take your place
Guess that Huw is just a hopeless case
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Struggling
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Struggling
