Re: SPECIAL LOVE

Wrote this from perspective of a young man ready to get married to the love of his life.  Hope you like it.

Re: SPECIAL LOVE

Very nicely done TIGLJK. I had this perspective thirty years ago. I have it still with my wife today. Great feel to this one.
Perhaps a recording soon? Would like to hear your version.

Re: SPECIAL LOVE

Thanks Phill,   

I agree with what Dave pointed out as well - same perspective I have with my wife.  :0 )

The Bm is really hard for me to play, but ibecause it sounded right - I couldn't avoid it.

There are so many talented musicians on Chordie - and everyone is so positive --- whoever came up with this idea should be commended !  The camaraderie among the members  is amazing !

Re: SPECIAL LOVE

My daughter and I sang this as a duet ( well she sang and I tried to sing ) alternating lines in some of the verses. She thought  it would be a great song for  a wedding, it did sound pretty cool doing it that way,  except for my voice of course).  I wish I could sing so you could hear it .  smile lol

Re: SPECIAL LOVE

Hi tig
About the singing thing no ones more self conscious about their singing than me.
The fact that you sang with your daughter means your not that embarrassed lol.
I shudder to think what my daughter would say if she heard me!
Anyway I've posted some songs on Chordie over the years singing on some so
Don't let what think of your voice hold you back from recording and posting on Chordie
If your able to. I'm sure we would all like to hear it.
We tend to be our own worse critics. Lol

Re: SPECIAL LOVE

hi jimmy,

i notice you say that you sing it with your daughter, so when do we get to hear it?

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
