That was great----  loved the girls - they did a really nice job!
I am sure they should do a rendition and submit it!

Jim

nicely done Phill

Great voice and guitar work.

I'm hooked on my lil 'ol Martin  .   

My Alvarez plays awesome...... but I am so comfortable with my Martin now... it's like what the others here have said - it's like it found me not the other way around....

LISTEN TO THIS  - EXPLAINS IT ALL

Good one Badeye - enjoyed  the song

Bill - Van the Man - he is one of my favorites.  I couldn't find it - but if I could - I would've linked to the song " wavelength"  by Morrison.  best listened too with headphones, and abit of wine or hemp.

first song I ever played on the guitar was the  Sloop John B 
Beach boys were awesome... very complex - and inimitable.
Thanks for sharing

Jim

congrats man- keep it up !!

upsidedown n backwards

I am more of a songwriter rather  than a musician, so I will give you my slant. others on here will be much more of a help in the musical component.
I loved the song. When I read it, I  immediately thought of my nephew who has this ongoing battle with dyslexia  and depression, compounded by alcohol abuse.

I played it through using this progression   G  D  C  G  ( becaus e those chords are easiest for me    )
I think it needs a chorus that changes  the progression up.  As the song progressed, it was evident , at least to me, that the subject was reaching out for help in various ways.

As I was reading your lines and playing it through, this little chorus popped in my head
Em                 Am                                  C                                           G
Ooooh, I’m  reaching out, can't you see,  I could use a helping hand
Em                 Am                                        C                                     D
Ooooh,  I’m reaching out,  won’t you help me to make my stand
Em                 Am                                  C                                  G
Ooooh,   I’m reaching out, to  any kind     soul  still around
G                                                  Am                C                               G
someone like you to  help  me rise ,  and stay  up off the  ground

quite simple, but reiterates the message succinctly I believe.

if you don't like it just delete it
If you like it , feel free to use it.

It's just my humble opinion, but I think you've written a really nice piece that is applicable to many emotional circumstances, where we all could use some help. 

one last really minor detail - the line you use " i'm down hear on the ground"   the word "hear" should be "here"   you can fix that easily by going to edit. ( that's the teacher side of me coming through !:) )
Thanks for sharing and Welcome to Chordie !!

ps  can't wait to hear you perform it.

Prog rock to me- is mood related.  sometimes I can listen for hours, other times its hard or me to listen to it.  I pretty much love Yes, Emerson  Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, and Iron Butterfly - not too familiar with many others , but probably if I went in my attic and dusted off the 400 vinyl albums there   I'd probably find a few more PR groups I listened to in college. 

Thanks for sharing your PR finds  TF.

Phill,

I caved in and bought a new computer  it has windows 10 on it.

No issues yet...like it a lot .... except the photo story program I used on my old computer is not available for windows 10. I gave microsoft an unpleasant communication on that.  But overall , the system is working terrific
Hope yours continues to be fantastic as well.

Jim

Roger
