Topic: Kind

Hi guys,

This will be my first song. It's about my mother, she suffers from schizophrenia.
When I was writing this down I thought of my visits to her, and how sometimes things can go well but then,  out of the blue, she will be saying strange things and you know it's the disease speaking.
The chords look a bit chaotic but it's just: C Am, C Am, C Am, Dm F and E Am, E Am, E Am, F Fm.  Very simple. So here it is.



Chordpro error: This is not a valid artistname. You will have to specify an artistname in the form {st: Artistname} in the beginning of the code.

Re: Kind

That is a beautiful song. The chords flow very well and I particularly like the F, Fm, C change.

Schizophrenia is a terrible illness both for the sufferer and those close to them, your love for your mother shows in abundance.

Thank you for sharing it, and as James has already said please keep on writing.

I'm sorry to hear that Daddycool. I wish you a lot of strength.

Thank you all for your comments.
The F Fm C was a mistake at first, I had too many words but when I played it, it sounded nice.

Re: Kind

That just goes to show that all mistakes are not bad then. Glad you kept it in.
