I just want to walk in Taipei

Second week, second song. I always start with a small poem and develop from there.
This week I started talking about roads here in Taipei in Catalan, but eventually decided to go translate to English and developed from there. I still sang the original Catalan lyrics at the the end though.
I tried playing the guitar and singing at the same time this week. All you hear is like that, but I did record several times and stitch together some of the sections. Basically sections are single take, but there are like 3 different sections/takes on the final song.
Nails are growing at an acceptable rate, left-hand is getting stronger, hopefully my guitar sound can keep getting better.
Lyrics:
I just want to walk while I hear you talk
but all drivers here don't know how to steer.
Roads are full of trucks and motorbikes too
they're stinky and loud, and never yield to you.
Wherever we go, whenever we can
there's scooters and cars shouting above us.
That's the price we pay for living in Taipei
