Re: Halfway Gone

I really like this song Jim, a litle different to how I imagined it after I heard the recording, but great lyrics and chord progression. Well done Sir!!

Re: Halfway Gone

OK Jim,

Here is my take on your song, recorded before listening to your recording, so it is my interpretation just using the lyrics and chords. Drum, bass and cello courtesy of Band-in-a-Box; the rhythm guitar, fingerpicked guitar and vocals I take the blame for lol.

Re: Halfway Gone

Two versions of the same song approached from very different angles. Both great . TIG your ability to write thought provoking lyrics is incredible.

Re: Halfway Gone
