gone is the wind
gone is the sky
extinguished in
the blink of an eye
gone the way
of memory and light
competing with
the stars of night
passing through
the fractured noise
still unheard that
distant voice

Todays artist is Nick Drake he recorded 3 albums from 1969-1972
none of them sold,he died a few yrs later having had no success.
since then people have come to appreciate his music and hes still selling
today.highly thought of by other musicians.
this is is his most commercial album,the other 2 are just voice and guitar.
what do you think?

hes so good at talking
but not so good at listening
hes the king of talkback radio
hes got strong opinions
and he`ll shut you down
his voice is heard
on the radio at night
you can hear him
while you`re driving home
you can think his thoughts
when you go to bed
trusting in everything he said
cause he`s the king of talkback radio

nothing wrong with you guitar playing,your voice like mine has a mind of its own.
i couldnt bear to hear my horrible so called singing.
but have come to a point where i can live with it now,it will never be very good but i can put up
with that as long i do it in an honest way.
a few comments that helped me improve,it was suggested i listen to johnny cash
doing bridge over troubled waters also doing the beatles in my life.
i guess for better or worse what i learned, was use the voice i had, and not try to sound like anyone else.

there once was a tall man
he was as tall as a wall
if he fell over
he had a long way to fall
although he had to be careful
when passing through doors
with a bit of luck
he would remember to duck
otherwise he would
bash his head
and the tall man
would fall
