Re: BE IT RESOLVED (8 replies, posted in Poems)
Hello again Tenement hope you don't mind I will put out your song on soundcloud if you don't like it I will take it down.
Every one I have shown your BE IT RESOLVED love the lyrics. Hope my version is ok. I even got my better half to help with it. It has a Indian Tabla drum playing on it that my wife brought back from India many years ago. The recording is not the greatest as it only done with my cell phone.

Hi Bill
Just a thought as I don't know how to do links. There is a New Zealand song singing about the beautiful people that come into our life's on YouTube that maybe someone could put a link on here to it. The song is Herbs Sensitive To A Smile YouTube.
It is now 1.36 pm in the afternoon here will try catch you a bit latter on. Pleased to hear that Dondra just needs her meds adjusted. Bless you both.

Re: BE IT RESOLVED (8 replies, posted in Poems)
That is a good New Years resolution for 2016 that I wish the world would follow. The Me, Me world seems to be promoted as an absolutely cool way to go now days which saddens me. I applaud you for recognising what we should be about. What we sow is what we reap.
HAPPY NEW YEAR from sunny summers day in Wellington, New Zealand.

Happy Birthday Bill. I loved the Waltzing Matilda song on youtube. Man you and Dondra are an awesome couple. It is now 9.23 am New Years morning here. Tuning into your New Year contributions has made our morning more fun. Our thoughts are with Dondra and hope she is managing to get some enjoyment out of today.

Re: one for the writers (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Phill you are a genius of a musician and songwriter. What you do is magic. I find if I think to hard about song writing nothing happens. When I am completely relaxed without a care in the world lyrics and melodies start popping into my head. I have only been writing songs for about a year so I have a lot to learn. Easybeat got me playing guitar and composing which has turned out as a great way for me to just chill out and relax.
Now I am in my sixties I still haven't figured out what I am going to do when I grow up.

Re: Heading Home. (4 replies, posted in Poems)
Thank you E B , Tenement and T7. When I look back at the young Peatle under 30 he seems like a different person to who I am now. I am hoping some one will take my lyrics put their own version of I'm Heading Home up with a better voice and playing than what I have put out. Jandle and EB gave me some good ideas on how to make it into what I have put up. The first draft was really bad.

Topic: Heading Home. (4 replies, posted in Poems)
I will post this as a poem even though I have put it up on soundcloud as a song. I sing play guitar and piano by feel and very rarely think about what I am playing. This song ,,poem is me remembering what was going through my mind on the morning before heading back to my home town when I was in my late twenties. I had been away for a few years and wanted a more settled down steady life. I use the word road in the song but I was actually catching a plane from Sydney, Australia across the Tasman sea to Wellington, New Zealand. For those who play guitar and had a listen to it sung on soundcloud. The bass line is basically C and D picked on the A string with the chords D and E on the rhythm bits. I think as a song someone else could do it better. As a poem I would cut the repeated lyrics on the chorus if I was reciting it without singing. Any feed back good or bad always welcome.
I'm Heading Home.
Its early in the morning as I try to gather my thoughts before hitting the road.
I've been away far,far to long.
Travelling lonely roads.
Trying to find adventure in all the wrong places.
I know I had to get away and give it a go because nothing ventured then there is nothing gained.
I know that while I've been travelling around my friends back home have most probably settled down.
Maybe started families.
I know the time has come for me to maybe settle down.
I think the best place for me right now is back home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
Will my old friends still have something in common with me or am I going to be the odd one out.
Oh well only time will tell.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
The time has come for me to find a steady life.
Try and get a steady job.
If I'm lucky I might even find a wife.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
Well you know that eventually you got to make a decision and I know I can't keep travelling that lonely road.
I've got to find some sort of settled down new direction.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I know that's most probably the best place for me and I hope that it works out.
It's definitely time to settle down and get a steady life.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.
I'm heading home.

Beesty have you ever thought about putting a poetry book out of your poems??? I would like to buy a copy. When I read your words about life and history in poetry or songs they hit the right spot for me. I salute you the Bard of Wainuiomata.
