This   is  a song I put together called Ghost Phone Call. I wrote the lyrics around midnight at Easter when I was thinking about what to do on chordie  for this May. The song is a man reflecting in his head on a unexpected phone call from a lady that morning who he had been told had died. I tried to write it in a way that the listener can put all sorts of back stories to what had happened in this man and woman’s previous relationship. Also I wanted to create a sense of confusion and a haunted wondering the man has as to why this woman had decided to phone him  twenty years later after shooting through on him.

That 's not cheating and it was well worth another listen a song that is still good five years on.     

Good one Roger first time I remember hearing that song a good choice. This  month is coming to end quickly it is good to hear another song for this month.

Cheers thank you Piri. Normally Maree doesn't like my music much unless its a collaboration with someone more musical than me. This is the first time she has insisted that I put up something just by me.     

Zurf you weren't wrong, you just did what you had to do given the situation you found yourself in.     

Neo, this would have to be one of best videos you have put up of a great song done with a good band arrangement. Your 7yo did a real good job on the videoing.     

Good poem there  Brian to get people thinking about the price of gas and how the world governments had become partly dependent on Russia for oil and gas . Though I am not sure  how  to resolve the problem  the move by various governments to lower oil production has helped raise the price of  fuel. Major Banks and financial institutions in recent times, have been  busy making net-zero commitments, they have also become less willing to finance oil and gas projects, and the companies normally responsible for these projects.  The supermajors and other large oil and gas players - have themselves stepped on the net-zero path. Here in NZ we have ability to produce some of our own  oil but the push against fossil fuel means these valuable options have been shut down. By shutting down American production, the US also gave up its control over the oil price. As a net exporter of oil, the US also supplied the world market. Thus the US had previously  a role with both supply and demand. Before now, any time oil prices surged, the US could enter the market with more supply and thus help control prices. Moreover, as a non-OPEC producer, the US had some control over global oil prices.
Every so called environmentally friendly electric vehicle, and most hybrid vehicles, rely on large lithium-ion batteries weighing hundreds of pounds. Typically made with cobalt, nickel, and manganese, among other components, these batteries cost thousands of dollars and come with an environmental burden: the ability a require ingredients sourced from polluting mines and smelters around the world, and they can ultimately contaminate soil and water supplies if improperly disposed. In the rush to embrace this technology, auto companies are adopting the same pretense that has been embraced by the plastics industry: They are claiming that used batteries will be recycled. However, the truth is being swept under the rug. None of the lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles are recyclable in the same sense that paper, glass, and lead car batteries are. Opps I'm raving on.

Congratulations Jim on your new Kali Fawn Knee An grandson. Your friends did a brilliant recording of your song. I like the way it has male and female lead vocal parts.     

Jandal you did easybeat's song real good those seven years have gone quick.

In reply to your question about about my video . The first one I put up I inadvertently  used the same song title as easybeats  submission for this month so I had to change the text at the beginning.  Because of that I had two copies on file and ended up putting up the wrong one up with  the wrong title in my rush to get it on youtube and chordie.. It is same video apart from the text  as the first one and also in my rush somehow I had edited out part of the song on the first one I put up so a few lines of the song had got left. out .   Thank you Jandal for taking the time  to have a good listen and watch.  I try to make each song as different as pos though my poor playing and vocal skills can make my efforts not always a great listen.

I had to put it up again my April entry as in my rush to put it up I put the wrong version up and also the wrong title for my song. So here is the proper version sorry about that. The song is called My World For Chordie.

Neo the solo and band version have come out good. Back in 95 sounds like you had a good band going then. Excellent hard hitting lyrics.

Easybeat  that is a good rock folk fusion sound you got going on there.

Jeff having just had a good neighbour pass away  a few weeks back after a short illness made your lyrics very relatable  to me. Your a master lyricist and song writer.
