my impression is regret. regret for thinking that this man could give you what you needed for the rest of your life, maybe? regret that after giving him everything, he left you with nothing, only memories, some good, some bad. now you regret that you gave him too much...god! i'm making up my own story here.
great write lena, heartfelt with deep emotion

hi jamie, welcome to chordie. if this is your first attempt it looks like we have a lot to look forward to. well done, shame it's due to sad circumstances, but that's where a whole lot of inspiration comes from.

Hi friends.
it is with great regret that i've had to delete neil pineda's postings. after consultations with other moderators the general concensus is that he was hijacking the original post. i replied to neil in a polite way encouraging him to start his own thread, which he seems to have ignored! i hate having to do this as i believe that everyone's work is valid and worthy of display.
i will not ban neil on this instance, but hope he will conform to the rules and procedures as laid down in the regulations and take part in and add to chordie poem forum.

hi neil, your poems are great, but you should start your own thread, that way people will look at your work in it's own right and hopefully comment and give you tips.
if your not sure how to do that; at the top of the page is a button that says"start a new subject" click there and a dialog box will appear same as a comment box) enter your poem here. click submit (or preview if you'd like to check your work). your poem will then magically appear with your name to give you credit.
hope this helps. keep on with the writing

Thank you Lena, it was a while ago now and things are more or less back to normal. I love her and she loves me, what more can any man ask for?
Yes unfortunately we men can be somewhat childish at times. All we need is a little love from a special person, if we dont know that, what sadness and heartache can follow!
Hi Jason, I agree in part, anger can be the relief valve when your boiler is about to erupt, but it's quite often the one thing that can destroy us; people, relationships even countries!
A good mathematical knowledge of how to count to ten helps. Maybe Hitler could only count to three?

hi tf, and welcome to chordie, you've had quite a response for your first posting, so i'd like to add my 5 pennorth.
i've only recently bought my first tele, (i'm 59) i've had semi acoustics and strats (original and copies) and think the fender telecaster is up there with the best. i didnt realise how the thickness of the neck would affect my playing. you've found that out for yourself i see.
i was recording a song yesterday, i began with acoustic, to get the rhythm, then bass guitar, then i got out my tele for some lead!!!!! if you think it's weired going from acoustic to a tele try from bass to tele!!!
one thing though....dont put heavy gauge strings on it.
phill
hi ark, glad to see you back in the saddle....ha ha!
Afghanistan, what a truly inspiring piece...well done top marks from me, the 4 tunes before you must have been out of this world!
when the rain falls, very commercial sounding and that sexy voice....
back on top buddy
phill
the sad part of this whole thing is that there is a big media fuss, when it happened, when the first one came out, and i bet when the last one emerges....bet the guys in the middle dont even get a mention, let alone tv coverage!
sorry to be cynical
phill
hi lena,
thank you for your kind words. mekidsmom inspired me to write this, but i used my own experiences of life and death in the content. i also had thoughts of you as i've noticed that you've had more than your fair share of grief in the last couple of years.
i've just completed a recording of this, which i'm reasonably happy with, and i'll post it asap.
i wrote it as a poem....but you know how things can change?
phill
as i've said before, i have a tele but i always thought it was a very raunchy/rocky-rolly guitar that is one heck of an all-rounder....i guess it does country too.
buy and be damned!
phill
I was strumming the guitar in the dark last night (Sat 9th) and I put the capo on the guitar where it sounded nice, which happened to be the 5th frett! and out popped a riff and chord sequence. Sorry but there are "Bm" chords in here.
So today (Sunday 10th October 2010) I came up with some words that relate to how me and Ann (my wife) met for the 2nd time time 10 years (or so ) later! hence the title....

hi russ,
no editing, i just recorded the song so i wouldnt forget the tune...(it's an age thing) so i record them quickly, but i thought it stood up on it's own so i posted the vid.
i do intend to work on the song and produce a better sound etc.
glad you like it, there's another in the pipe-line, which if i can get it right will be a much better song.
phill
my daughter spends half the night on it, then cant get up next morning! who wants to talk to people that used to bully you in school anyway. or you used to bully? is this therapy?
hi geo, no russ and i haven't fallen out, we work solo or together when we get the chance. thanks for the listen.
hello roger, yes i've always been a southpaw on guitar and shooting a gun. righty when writing and either way batting at cricket or boxing! i'm just a crazy mixed up kid? sorry about the Bb zurf!
hi jeff, thanks my friend. when you dont have time to record a song properly it's easy to put the camera on and record that way (so i dont forget how the damn thing goes) old age don't come alone!
phill
hi jeff,
i can so identify with this song having been unemployed for a year. luckily(?) i'm back in the saddle.
what i hate is that question on the application form that says; "why do you want this job?" what answer can you put down? cos i want to feed my family? cos i hate being unemployed? i just want a job, i dont care what it is?
dont mind me, i'm just having a rave.
love the song, recording coming soon?
phill
If you'd like to hear this there's a demo video at...

or click on the web tab and go to videos
I recorded the song in the key of "B", I used a capo on the 5th frett and transposed to"G" for convenience...aren't I nice?

A young boy and girl are walking down the corridor when the girl says "oh! look, there's a condom under the radiator." The boy replies; " what's a radiator?"
hi roger,
just had a read and a listen, brill, up to your usual high standard.
while i was there i listened to the other tracks too...broken doll still gets me.
here's to the next 3,000

you can say what you like about the queen, (without fear of getting your head chopped off, or disappearing like they do in certain parts of the world) she is more concerned about us commoners than a lot of the government and civil servants (surely a contradiction in terms) and the rich people who only tolerate us so that we can do their bidding, eg: go to war as cannon fodder, or work until we drop in their sweat shops.
but surely this isnt just a UK phenomenon oh no, it's world wide. even you americans who "threw" us brits out (and we thank you for that) have the same "have/have nots" in society.
so you cant really knock the queen being a figure head and being paid an obscene amount of money for doing the job.
on the other hand, prince charles who is first in line for the throne, takes no money from the civil lists. he lives on the rents from his property, i believe.
we are all put on this earth for a purpose, what it is only time will tell

hi rock-e, welcome to chordie,
i had this problem for a short while some years ago, it started when another guitarist hit my hand with his head-stock as we were going on stage. hurt like hell when i played.
my father had a trick which i'll pass on, he used to wrap some wool (the stuff used for knitting) around his wrist about 6 or 7 times, loosely to give his hand more strength. i used a leather wrist brace for a while. now i dont have the problem any more...touch wood!
phill
i dont know why anyone would want me to sing....but i'm in
