Just a simple song I wrote back in 2011

Discontented life

Intro 2 bars C

Verse 1
C
You take me to the edge,
Em
I feel like I will fall,
Am F
But you won’t be there to pick me up,
C
Tell me what I did wrong,
Em
To make your hate so strong,
Am F
It never stopped me loving you,

Chorus
F G C
And as I wander through this discontented life,
F G C
I feel so damned cold inside,
F G C C/B C/A C/G
Cos every time, every time I forgive you,
F G C
I feel like a fool

Verse 2
C
You’re never there
Em
No you just don’t care
Am F
Build me up then throw me away.
C
I feel just like your toy
Em
And not your lover boy
Am F
What will it take to make you stay?

Repeat Chorus to end

Thought provoking, I left a comment on sound cloud. Well written and well performed by you, you have a great talent.

Thank you Jandle I was beginning to think no one was going to comment. Thought provoking is exactly what its meant to be, we live in turbulent times. Thanks again and for commenting on my sound cloud.

All the signs

What you gonna do When this all turns to violence
Dm7 Em Am
When the hordes are kicking down your door
Dm7 Em Am
Will you just give in and die in silence

Wake up fool our race is worth fighting for

Verse 2

Dark clouds are closing in
Em
Now the final phase has begun

Soon their won’t be nowhere left

It won’t be long
Em Am
Before we are overcome

I've got to agree with Linusguitar & Old doll, A beautiful song,The chords bring out the sadness of the lyric,Love it. I can't wait to hear the finished song.

Trevor

Hi Old doll, Thank you for having a listen to my music,Glad you liked it. I try to follow Taoist philosophy,Simple to understand,not so easy to put into practice. I say that's down to the indoctrination of our wonderful society, It would have been great to grow up without interference,then I would know the real me, I hope to find the real me someday,until then ill be what makes me,My family and Friends happy.

Trevor

2009-10-16 23:04:47

Hi Phill,Checked out your new songs on your my space page, lots of emotion there, I listened to all three of them,Good work.

Good luck with your new job mate & hope you had a good holiday.

Trevor

2009-10-02 22:15:43

Thank you Old doll,

I'm glad you like it,the line I walked was one of anger,I was sexually abused as a child and it left deep scars & filled me with hate and even thought now I'm free of that pain, I'll never forget it,the words stem from my mind at that time.

The fact I'm saying it on this forum shows you how far I've come,It took me over 30 years to tell someone. But even when I was full of hate there was always another side of me trying to pull me the other way I just never listened. I listen now.

Trevor

Hi kenny,I agree with Selso Awesome song,I think I hear The Beatles in there somewhere? I like the jazzy organ.

Trevor

2009-09-23 09:28:20

Thanks Kenny,I wrote this when I was in inside,my mind was really mixed up,had been for years but it took going to jail for me to finally understand what was going on & get help. I can say after 3years of counselling & studying Taoist philosophy ,I feel I'm getting my life back together. Simplicity,Compassion & Humility are truly the keys to enlightenment,well in my case anyways

I look forward to your email my friend

I Walk the line

I walk the line,
Dispair and hopelessness follow me close behind,
Eating away at my soul,I slowly wither,
as the goodness is sucked from me,
to be replaced with hate and paranoia,
Hysterical, piercing eye's, paralyse my mind,
Black souls with no truth or compassion,
Push me along a path to destruction,
Like a lamb to the slaughter,given no hope,
I go gladly,All to replenish "The Lie",

I walk the line,
Content with simplicity,
In the face of adversity,always believing,
My life does matter,
I can make a difference,
I see the light of goodness in the blackest souls,
Everyday I awake to new possibilities,
New chalanges enrich my life,
I am in control of my future,
I smile from the heart,I am strong,
I love and trust the world around me,I am free!

What will tomorrow bring.............

I WALK THE LINE!

Hi daddy,I meant more on a larger scale,like the use of pesticides,I can see your point they have got a death wish sometimes.

Trevor

2009-09-09 11:46:03

Hi daddycool,Good song ,just like a wasp to not get the message I like try & respect all species,to me they are a tiny link in a massive chain. They are a general annoyance at the end of the summer I must say & alas I have been stung by a whole nest of them yellow bellied insects when doing ground work,But they have there place on this earth like the rest of nature. Shame the human race doesn't respect that.

Trevor

2009-09-05 19:05:22

Cheers Daddycool,Ill try to sing it one day,not that high though,

They've not put it up on Sibelius it was there but they took it off for some reason, they've always approved my scores in the past?

Trevor

2009-09-05 15:38:20

Scrap that they've taken it of for some reason,hopefully be on there soon

You can hear the Mp3 for the score at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_mu … dID=986634
