Glen Campbell 'Less Of Me'.

Glen Campbell was never really known as a songwriter being particularly insecure about his own songwriting ability but he did write a handful of songs including a little gem in the form of 'Less Of Me'.



I've always loved its simplicity; no chorus, no middle eight, no bridge just a pure beauty and gorgeous sentiment.

Here's The Everley Brothers doing it justice and making it sound like some long lost Dylan or Byrds track.



'Less Of Me.'
'Let me be a little kinder. Let me be a little blinder.
To the faults of those about me, let me praise a little more.
Let me be, when I am weary, just a little bit more cheery.
Think a little more of others and a little less of me.
Let me be a little braver when temptation bids me waver.
Let me strive a little harder to be all that I should be.
Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker.
Let me think more of my neighbor and a little less of me.
Let me be, when I am weary, just a little bit more cheery.
Let me serve a little better those that I am striving for.
Let me be a little meeker with the brother that is weaker
Think a little more of others and a little less of me.'
