Haha! Thanks Jandle,I just like to play aroundj ust be creative I can never seem to get past the one minute mark,like you say a young thing so thats probably why. My favorite music is Motown and some 50s 60s 70s and 80s. I'm trying to do some stuff on my keyboard at mo. Just for a change.

Thanks CurtRHCP I'm just playing around at the moment i usually just do a song with me and ny guitar,but I have had cakewalk sonar for ages and my axiom pro sitting doing nothing so thought I'd experiment.  That why they are short plus I run out of ideas it being new to me.

I did this yesterday from a chord sequence
Done on my guitar. For some reason it sounded
Great on my DAW but after rendering it sound's all to load.
Thought I'd post anyway.

Thanks Phill I put off posting it because I know how I want it to sound but my guitar playing is poor and my production skills are lacking.  I play through it then when I press record I make so meny mistakes. Drives me mad thats why its so short.Thanks for you input on the production side.

Cheers Richard. I had a listen to both tracks thought the second one was better, Were they done with wave samples?  I like  pine tree blues,  Also nothing like being out in nature.  That was Kenny aka kap54 singing let it be goodbye.

Dm7              G7   
  This is the last time,

Dm7             G7
When the morning comes,

You will be gone,
Dm7                     G7                  C          A
    And my light will fade and die.

F          Em                        Am

Sail away my love,

Dm7           G7   
I want to hold you

For a thousand years
Dm7               G7             C        A
          And never let you go
Dm7               G7                   C           Fmaj7

Cheers phill, I'll give it go when I work out the chord's proper as Kenny didn't know them. If anyone with a good ear can work them out Please do.
Thanks Tenement Funster much appreciated. 

Shame Kenny wrote some really good songs. I lost track of him years ago when my email died.

Let it Be Goodbye

Intro
C                                                        Em/B
  Why did you come back into my life.
            F/A                           A7sus
It can only end, with goodbye again.

Verse 1
C         
Just to touch your face,
Em/B                                                               F         
  would bring back all the haste and confusion,
                C /G        A7sus
Of why I left you.
F           Fm              C           
If I felt your touch it would surface all my pains,
Ab6                                                                           A7sus
It would hurt so much I wouldn't know what to do.
            F/A                             Ab6                    C    A7sus
No I can't face the truth or pains of loving you.

Chorus
              C
So let it be goodbye
Ab6                                                            C
As if there were no more tears left to cry
                                F/A      Ab6
No more excuses left to make
                     C                 
No hearts left alone to break
                    C/B                                              Am7
We had a chance so long ago I hope you know
                     A7sus                     Dm7/A
Now it's to late to start again don't you know
                        C                  Ab6        C          Ab6 A7sus
So let it be goodbye.     Let it be goodbye

Verse 2
C
Just to see your smile
Em/B                           F
Made my life worthwhile it was more than
                     C/G      A7sus
Enough for me
F                          Fm                                    C 
  We were so in love then suddenly you changed
F                             Fm                                      C
Your love for me was full of jealousy and pain
F                           Fm                  C     
What were you feeling was it anger mixed with shame
                  Ab6                      A7sus
Too much to say and you didn't know what to do
                      F/A                     Ab6                   C   A7sus
Now I can't face the simple pain of loving you

Chorus


Outro
C                                                     Em/B
Why did you come back into my life
            F/A                               A7sus
It can only end with a goodbye again
C                                         Em/B
It's just too late for us to try
            F/A                         A7sus
It can only end in a goodbye again
Dm7/A                        C           Ab6
     So Let It Be Goodbye
                          C         Ab6   C
Let It Be Goodbye

Phill I totally agree. That why I like the old way. No vengeful god. The only time violence is nessasary is to protect your kin and land. Not for personal gain. Cancer is my starsign.

I love the old cowboy films where you have a lone sheriff dishing out justice on the lawless usual out gunned but standing his  ground.  You've got a vivid imagination. I enjoyed the story.

Hi Phill, yes they are annoying but I ignore them in the same way I do all avertisments the one reason I no longer have a TV and why I got rid of the internet the constant bombardment with stuff that went against my beliefs. It was so bad it was affecting my mental health. Me being a Cancerian I'm very sensitive to the sublime messages.

Thanks Peatle Jville much appreciated.  I feel now more then ever we should get back in touch with our past , they lived harsh lives but saw great beauty in everything. We live easy lives and only see uglyness. An example modern art degenerate, empty and boring , compare that to classical art meaningful, pure and beautiful.

Cheers Brian I may do some more work on it yet but I don't like to be diliberate I like it to flow from me.  I've got three sons but if I had a daughter I would have named her Athelfleda meaning Noble beauty to honor this great lady. I'm pleased you liked "open yours eye " that much you kept a copy.

Thanks Phill, I think I get what you mean I'm not good at guitar solos though. I'll see if I get inspired. Thank you for your encouraging words about Open your eyes. I wanted it to sound like that beings it is protest song" folk against communism" haha! I also kept it simple so anyone could sing it. maybe I'll upload just the track without the chords and lyrics for if anyone wants a listen only if that's OK though otherwise it's on my soundcloud.

Ps yes its athelfleda the warrior queen of mercia respected by all Welsh, Scots,Irish and of cause the English. She was one hell of a women if legend is to be believed.
