Here's one I did almoat 3 (!) years ago - "Love will tear us apart" by Joy Division - with the line "... why is the bedroom so cold ..."

This is a re-post from songwriting - try to get a recording here sometime this week.
I qualify bc I used the word " do"
I wrote this over coffee this morning. One of my friends is having marital problems, and this just popped into words as I was having coffee.
Most likely not perfect - but here it is
Look forward to hearing it!!
Cheers

This go's out to Glen RIP .
That's a good song - I take it that it was pretty new to the band at the time, hope you get to record it. Doing dumb things when we were young ... I guess we've all been there ...

Good to hear the audience joining in with you in your first song Richard. Always satisfying when the crowd does that, makes it all worthwhile. Nice to hear your originals too. That last song you definitely were getting into it, well done
Thanks for having a listen ... I'm hoping to do some longer gigs this year, but it's already October and I haven't yet ... still time, I guess

Many of the new ways people use words to describe things sometimes gets me confused such as when someone says that's real sick meaning it is real good
A couple of years ago I was working at a place with a load of 20-somethings and their word was "dope". I was confused why they kept referring to drugs in the workplace until I figured out they were saying it was "good" or "well done" ...

Good one Richard was that the audience singing along on Light My Fire that I could hear on the video or was it an echo in the hall??? Your two originals very strong songs rhythmically and lyrically also.
Hi Peatle,
Thanks for having a listen; they were singing along (it's a pretty common practice for well known songs there!).
Cheers

Re: Some links to Kendal Music festival . (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
They were pretty good - was it two different gigs (I saw you had a change of clothes and the bass player lost his mic on the last video) or two different sets?
I must say I love the band name too!

This video is one of the gigs I did at Wanneroo Folk club, and starts with "Light my Fire" - which has the words "funeral pyre" in the second verse:

Re: Tonewood Amp (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I bought one of these second hand, but, whilst I liked the sound coming out initially, it really messed up my video recordings (mostly because I was adding echo to the video recording, and echo on echo doesn't work) - so I sold it about 6 months after. I still have the magnetic brace inside my main Maton.

Topic: Suggestions - November 2023 : Random words from a site (6 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
For this months suggestions, I'm going to do the same as last month because (a) it is less prone to repetitive words and (b) it's easy to add (and (c) Jandle asked me to set this up, and I didn't have any better ideas ).
For Novembers suggestions you'll need to follow these steps:
1) Got to https://randomwordgenerator.com/
2) Generate 4 random words
3) Put those words in our topic here!
Note you don't need to pick the four in the first generation, any four will do!!
Look forward to reading what you all RANDOMLY SUGGEST.
READY ... SET ... GO!!!

neophytte, nice little switch with the lyrics in that line in this song. It actually works better I thought swopping that line out (I went back and checked the original version). Well done, the song as I said previously on the original version suits you and works well. Nice one.
Thanks for that feedback - I'm glad I got to do it live instead of it becoming a shelf project ... I've been having fun exploring my old songs again, but always keen to start up something new, there are a few other songs in the pipelines, but they seem to get pushed into the 'distraction zone' and don't get finished (you know that line from Pink Floyd's Time: "... plans that either go to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines ..." )
