I agree with Beestie - WTF were we thinking ? No wonder some one came up with LSD !
i think LSD came first?

Topic: people don't get it (6 replies, posted in Poems)
people don't get it
they don't get who i am
they don't see what's before them
they couldn't give a damn
there's a whole world out there
and beyond that the stars
are there aliens here now
driving our cars?
people don't get it
don't know if they should
don't know if they'd get it
even if they could
there's a line on the floor
that they wont step across
and they still don't get it
well, my dear....that's their loss

The only line I don't' get is ...
You are the reason I never succeeded.
What meaning or meanings do you intend for that line?
in my interpretation what he's saying is; if i had succeeded i'd have nothing to strive for and you give me the reason to strive. i may be wrong

Re: Rugby games (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
rugby is a great game, much preferable to soccer. but i have to point out at this point that there are 2 disciplines of the sport, 1 union and 2 league. both games are played by countries that have been playing the sport since noah was a pigeon fancier eg: all four countries of the UK, france, south africa, australia, canada and the no1 new zealand.
if your into sevens then you should catch up with the hong kong 7s. 7s are a more demanding game than the full game. and league is more demanding and rougher than union but not by much.
sorry to hear about your sons knee TF. it's a sport (unlike soccer, i use the US name) where all the violence is on the pitch not in the stands.
here in europe we have our annual internationals; wales, ireland, scotland, england, france and italy. when they come to town it's party time and there is very little violence as rugby fans may support their own side but still appreciate a good opposing team.
so enjoy

Re: `Thanks For Listening` (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I also thought as I was reading that it was about a song or even some bad reaction from Chordie. Glad it's not for the negative part. All your songs are of a very high standard and this one is no exception. Great work.
And best wishes and congrats to your niece.

Hi jandle.
Welcome to Chordie. We get a lot of songs about birds on here, not so many about the feathered variety. Nice song well constructed. Have a read of the sticky at the top to see how to work the chopro programming. There's plenty of help from members if you get stuck too.

Re: one night stand (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks for you replies, I don't have the faintest where they come from, all I can say is when a line comes into my head I write it down till another line may interact with it, then another etc till nothing else comes to mind.
As for the chords if I have a tune in my head I'll find the notes then search for the corresponding chord.
I was rather surprised myself when C diminished and F# dim turned out to be the same, not being that deep into the tech of music. I actually play the C dim on the 8th frett and C dim as the window shows.
I must admit it took a swerve from where I thought it was heading too. I don't start songs with a plan so they go where they will.

i will record it hopefully in the next week or so, it's in waltz time if you'd like to try it. isnt it funny how songs start out as one thing and end-up as another. i wrote the first verse last week and the rest tonight. they werent meant to be one song but hey ho. i'd like to put a bridge in somewhere. maybe tomorrow?

Hello and welcome to chordie.
Wow such an angry first post. Well written and I hope first of many.
Why not go to chat and introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself. We are happy to help with advice or just discuss stuff. Are you a musician? I expect someone will ask if you intend to make it into a song?

Thanks for the great comments. The "girl" in the PIC was actually a 60year old woman who later beat up her husband. I took the PIC in benidorm 2 years ago. She was great fun up to that point.

well done nice song and melody. i agree wholeheartedly with the first two verses as i worked in a factory for 20 years doing 12 hour shifts and gigging at weekends. when i started my kids were babies then one day i woke-up and they were taller than me with kids of their own. sad but true. and again great song.
my suggestion? where did the years go

you aint met my MIL(stone) which you should be thankful for, she passed on last year and she used to be the life and soul of any gathering till alzheimer's set in. before that she would do anything for a laugh, but such a pain in the car, she'd actually cross everything, legs, fingers, eyes everything and she'd be praying all the time and i'm the safest driver i know...honest. my FIL (father in law) was a cornet player and after he retired he bought an organ and taught himself to play it to entertain the crumblies at the local old folks home, sadly, he's no longer with us either.
