hi imdovester and welcome to chordie.
now you might want to go through the poem section to see if anything sparks your imagination. alternately you might like to post some of your work on say my space (which a lot of us do) then give us the link and invite some samples. we have had many collaberations in the past and i dare say there's many more to come.
so looking forward to hearing some neat tunes

have you checked the songs tab above? if art of dying is the band name, sorry. if it's george harrisons song then i can help. let me know
phill
thanks for that young man, i shall experdite my recovery with all alactrity...!
as for this song "the last thing" you may now find it on MY-SPACE, click to your left.
i like this one my-self and also the story unfolds as the song goes along, with obligatory sad ending.
comments please

my mother had a cracker, she'd often tell me " you come home dead here and I'll kill you!"
all in the best possible taste, of course.
i'm sure i've added a couple of comments here?
any how, the best piece of advice i can give you is; dont write too many words cos you never know, you may be asked to sing your song one day, then you'll have to learn all the words! worse yet, they may ask you to mime it, then you've got to learn all the words in order....horror!
in the process, but i've had a few migraines, bad back and sondries on the ill health front this last week, so i'm taking it slow.
nope....i think you can safely say no one got that?
hi 56jeff
would you like to try it again, and give us a little clue this time?
unless you happen to be a "jets/cap54" hybrid?
if not, then welcome to chordie.. if you are then mating succesful

PARDON?
all the above arguments are good, i agree with each as i read them. so the fact must be that the poem section has (for the most part) been mis-titled! it should read "the song without melody (yet) section" seems a bit long though?
the poem section was begun because people (like me) would write a few verses hoping to make a song, or sometimes just as a poem, hoping that someone might come along and write a beautiful melody line for it, and then maybe form a mutually benificial partnership al la elton john/bernie taupin.
all i can say is, if you post a song sans chords, expect them to be moved to poems until you have chords for it. if you'd like someone to put a melody to your work...ask, simples. when chords have been added, the poem/song will then be moved back to songwriting.
IT HATH EVER BEEN THUS. AND EVER SHALL REMAIN SO UNTIL THE STARS FALL AND THE SUNS GOLDEN LIGHT DIMINISHES INTO PARODIES OF MARAUDING ANGELS.
phill (sorry 'bout the last bit)
did you ever say something that you've lived to regret?
eg: i'll never come here again
you wont catch me dead in fared trousers
i was thinking about john lennon the other day and how he'd feel now after his statement in
" how do you sleep?" ... a pretty face may last a year or two/ but pretty soon we'll see what you can do. how do you sleep. at nights
ps. (hint) it was about mccartney
any more out there?
This may be in Daddycools teritory here, but I cant help the way my songs come out! It is an eternal triangle song, with the Jilted John spitting his dummy out of the pram and making things awkward for the other two...until it ends as a duel...pistols at dawn.
hi hannahbeth,
you've done the right thing by removing the hard drive as there are some very nasty people out there who might get all your personal and financial details from it! after you've taken what you want off it destroy it completely before putting it in the trash.
out here in the sticks of Wales we have a recycling plant so all the electronics, white goods etc get disposed of properly.
good luck with getting a new PC
phill
thanks daddy, that's what i meant to say. it looks like someones moved this already.
phill
hi nallekisse,
nice write my friend, but i must ask, is this a song or a poem? as there are no chords, i feel it might be a poem and should be in the poems section. but dont worry, i dare say arkady will be along shortly to move it. please dont be offended by this as that is how chordie works. once you have chords it will be moved back to songwriting.
phill
hi kenny, no hugs i'm affraid, ann's broken her collar bone in a bad place near the joint. she's in megga pain...women! lol

phill

hi mcclatch,
when my mate and i started playing way back in the 60's, we would learn a chord and strum a rhythm and just make words up around the chord (something like hawkwind did!!!!) soon we found that our tunes needed another chord, so we just hit every chord we new until we found one that was close enough (just like hot chocolate ((the group...you sexy thing?)) soon we were doing a status quo with 3 chords. it's just progress, you will progress it's a matter of practise, dedication, being inquisitive and just trying it. keep trying.
phill
hi swansneck.
there's an easy way to play between those two chords...
think of C to A minor...use your index finger to barre the 5th frett and use your pinky to complete the chords. check out the the chord chart for the exact fingering. with a little practise you'll find it easy, i use it all the time, not just for F-Dm, but if i'm playing in the key of G i may use the C "shape" to play a D chord.

i just cant throw anything away. the best i can achieve is to put what i'm not using into the attic when i buy a replacement. then i keep the box in case i have to return it faulty.
i occasionally go into the attic for something then spend an hour looking at things i forgot i put up there, then bring them down again! i guess i'm useless.
things i cant throw out include; 3 keyboards, a fender strat 1972 mexican. a fender f90 acoustic same year. a cheap and nasty electric in black. a pair of mos-fet 100 watt amps mounted on a board to use as power amps for stage. i've got a beautiful peavy bandit amp which i dont use as i play my guitar through my p a . millions of fx pedals that are outdated. and billions of bits of paper with songs on. i did manage to throw out an old teac multi-track reel to reel last year and some old tapes and cassettes. there's lots of other stuff too...cd's, dvd's old programs you name it, camera's ....sorry gorra close my head's hurting....

time indeed flies by while your having fun, welcome krapyl, and thanks for your offering. i must say it is disturbing, all the talk of death and destruction. but all works of art are meant to make the mind work, to think and to decipher. so, welcome once again and well done.
phill
hi tommydone,
thanks for your poem. the last line is a bit disconcerting; "..admit my crime"? there are no criminals on chordie unless your a spammer, and weve had our fair share of those lately. so welcome to poems and i look forward to seeing more of your lyrical, entertaining and discriptive poems.
phill
i only use two fingers to play "F". just play the "A" shape chord on the 8th frett, but lay the 3rd finger across the D,G AND B strings, also used for the dreaded B chord and all the others up the arm. it's simple when you've mastered it. i've been using it for over 40 years now, just avoid dubbing the bottom E (6th string).

my mother gave me some good advice i wish i'd listened to; she said "play the mouth organ, it's lighter"
honestly, i've always found drummers to be the laziest and most selfish members of the band. the drums are always the last to go into the van "cos theyre delicate!" so everyone helps carry them into the hall, then while the rest of you are struggling and sweating carrying the amps and pa in, he's setting up cos it "takes longer to set drums up" coblers!!!! then they get drunk play too loud and sometimes even fall asleep halfway through a song. how can anyone fall asleep while playing "summertime blues?" beats me. give me a drum box any time....lol
congrats on buying a kit though, nothing like bashing a drum to relieve your frustrations when the drummer dont turn up...i love drummers really

hi jeff,
all corners covered here, leeds, gardening and an ode to lost love. a story well told. i went to leeds once too, they called time at 10.30 and you had to drink up and be out by 10.40, very rude i thought, so i never went there again.
but the most surprising part of the song was that it stopped raining long enough for you to plant seeds?
lol phill
hi robert,
puts me in mind of raw hide, old gil favor and rowdy yates. though i thought it was the ozzies that had tucker? nice tale, i could almost taste the dust and smell the cow pats
