dont be a slave to trying to sound like the original,follow your own path.Someone said something similar to me in the early days of learning. His words were; "Don't try to sound like the original artist. Make it your own."
I've lived by that little piece of advice ever since. Thanks Mike.

yeah i know this sounds so obvious,the original artist is who they are, and you ,who you are.
there are hundreds of different versions of most songs other than the ``hit`` one.

I liked it Zurf, you performed it really well. I liked it with the talking and blues style, very effective, you had the right type of voice for it as well. I think TIGLJK will be very pleased with your attempt as his song. Great song Jim
you should do more ``quick and sloppy``it turned out great,its a style i think tig would do well.

Re: SUGGESTIONS: AUGUST 2022 FSOTM – TOMORROW, FLOWERS, WITHOUT, WHISKEY (8 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Someone should write a song about "Tomorrow I'll buy flowers and go without whiskey" or vice versa, as the case may be.
i like that idea Zurf may have a crack at that.

i know my recording is pretty slap dash(as is everything else)but i dont have a prob hearing the lyric when
i play them back.perhaps this is because i kinda know what im saying?
someone once said i had too much reverb,once again ive never heard this on my playback.
i dont know whats going on,be good if my mistakes were confirmed by a few more,then i could address them all.
thanks for having a listen.

a quicky for song of mth
i may not be a free man much longer, due to murdering a banjo and assaulting a recording device.
threw in a few mistakes just to keep it real, best listened to after a few drinks.you have been warned!

Thanks Jim
That sentence is not my words but it helped to write the song.
May enter this in the uksongwriting contest I've got about 5 songs to enter if I add this one.Trevor
good on you entering this in a comp,you just never know.
on song of mth,you must have list of original songs from which to select that would fit the bill each mth?

well spotted, as usual i haven`t a clue where this stuff comes from,but yes i did read Bernard Cornwell recently.
thought it also applies in a recent context.I added friendly fire to make it less predictable.

Topic: Futility Of War (5 replies, posted in Poems)
I found him by the river
in the early morn
his blood soaked clothes
from a gaping wound
i stripped his shirt
and dressed the wound
the best that i could
but to no avail
he passed that afternoon
said he`d marched all night
and carried a flag held high
served his country with pride
but from friendly fire he die
sadly another life lost
in the pursuit of what
this started as a song but i`ve kept as a poem as i wouldn`t know how to tell this story with music.
