This is a lovely piece Linusguitar,

I love pictures of moons with faces on them. Its gives the moon a personality i feel.
Your piece brings it [ the moon ] to life.
I have a piece also written about eating srawberries on the moon.
Thanks for the reminder and sharing your work.

Jody- Thanks, I been doing well! just a little busy for chordie lol
It's not exactly a love song though... see what KAP54 said haha

KAP- you hit it right on the head, not many people who have heard this understood that idea of a man looking down on us. Thanks for reassuring me that it makes sense

"The Man in the moon looks worried tonight"

How cool is this line.

I like how you've used the man in the moon looking down on us and that you want to put a smile on his face.
Good visuals in this.

Well Done Linusguitar,

Cheers

Kenny

Hi Linusguitar,
long time no see. How ya been?
This is a really cool song. It almost seems it would sing like a sad song.
I get the music but cain't quite get the melody. I really like this piece.
This one is open to endless posibilities. "Could be a hit love song"?
I'm not going to recomend any changes, so far I like it as is.

Take care,
jodyW

This song was written a little while ago after I came home from a friends house on my bike, I looked at the moon, and the first line of the song ran through my head.

E7 Amaj7- A7
The Man in the moon looks worried tonight
D7 Gmaj7-G7
He can see further than me, maybe he's right
And it's a smile that still rings sad
that covers up what I was smiling at

CHORUS
E7
Can you see the shadows
Amaj7 A7
of who we are?
D7 Gmaj7 G7
A lonely nation under the stars
E7
Can you feel the rhythm
Amaj7 A7
of what is right?
D7 Gmaj7 G7
Singing a sad song tonight

It was a peaceful quiet that almost hurt
You were the flame and the fireworks
Am I picking up pieces of broken glass?
or just loneliness that could never last?

Chorus

ENDING-
You can turn a sad smile right side up
you can change a story with a little love
give me a song and a rising balloon
and I'll send a smile to the man in the moon
