hi daddy

it seems there's a song in everything you see. i guess it's how you look at things and how they hit your creative muscle.

will the next one be about warm sunshine...i hope so

it made me think of my father, who's been gone now a few years, winter always makes me sad, as the old people used to say, it's the death of the year. so i'm looking forward to spring, when the world comes once more to life.
thank you for this lovely winter tribute.

ps, this is so good i read it twice and commented twice also

We've been having a bit of snow here in sunny south wales lately, so this song came to mind.

Blankets.Undefined


[E] When the cold light of morning, disturbs your sleep, darling.


You [B] remember the heat of the [E] night.


And I'm [Dbm] there like a blanket, [A] keeping you warm.


And I [E] know all the things that you like.




[E] With my arms wrapped around you, we lay there like spoons.


As we've [B] layed here all through the [E] night.


And we [Dbm] whisper like children, [A] hiding in cupboards.


Well I [E] know all the things that you like.




(CHORUS)




And [A] tonight we'll be lovers.


Again, [E] just like last night.


[B] Tomorrow we do it again.


[A] Snow on the rooftops.


[E] Cold crunchy footpaths.



[B] Let us stay here in the [E] warm.




(SOLO . ||E-B-E-B-E|| x2 > CHORUS)






When I [E] look at my roses, they're covered in frost.


Will they [B] die in the cold of the [E] night.


And [Dbm] winter surrounds us, like an [A] old woolen blanket.


And [E] everything `round us is white.


So [E] fill-up the kettle, as I light the fire.


Drink [B] tea as we get our-selves [E] warm.


[Dbm] Tomorrow may thaw, so we [A] dance through the snow.


And [E] everything `round us is white.


(REPEAT CHORUS X 2)

If I were Santa, I'd bring to the world
Everything that all the good people deserve.
Though some folks are grumpy
And some folks get mad
I'd like to make Christmas
The best one they've had.

I'd like to turn Scrooge into the patron of alms
And Myra Hindley into Mother Teresa's heart.
The Taliban into reindeer to pull my sleigh
The Nazi's into helpers, making presents all day.

Nuclear weapon's would turn into toys
And guns and bombs and missiles destroyed.
So knives would be piano's,
Bows and arrows guitars.
And clean electricity would drive all our cars.

If I were Santa, this world would be nice
It's a dream I would strive for, the rest of my life

i'm not overly religious, but i will stand to the death to allow any religion it's say. all religions if they're worth their salt, preach peace and love. what perfect rage is preaching is hate. in which case i'm soooo glad this person has been banned.

THIS CHRISTMAS, NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT GOD OR WHO OR HOW YOU CHOSE TO BELIEVE OR WORSHIP, LET'S REMEMBER; WITH-OUT LOVE WE WOULD ALL BE MISSING THE BEST GIFT "MOTHER NATURE" COULD HAVE BESTOWED UPON US.

LONG LIVE LOVE.

thanx for your comments,

it's a funny thing, but once i've finished writing and recording a song, i tend to forget about it! so it's nice to be able to go back to myspace or soundclick and hear the songs again.

it's a strange feeling, i know i wrote them, but they sound like they belong to someone else....it must be old-age creeping up on me

Thanks to all for your kind words.
I've been away from my "puter" for a couple of weeks, so I'm catching up.

Big thanks to Lena, I dont know of Hill/ Mcgraw, but if you recommend them, then they must be good!
Fact is; I love hearing other people sing my songs, so if they get round to it, send me a recording, make my day!

As for "sex, drugs and rock and roll" I've never messed with the middle one, but I'm well acquainted with the other two!

Glad you enjoyed it, let's hope Russ and I can work on more projects.

Russ, you have such a lovely turn of fraze " the pussy mix?"

I'm still chuckling at that one.:lol:

Hi Mekidsmom,

Yes it is exactly that, husband/wife together, but not waking-up, they couldnt get to sleep....know what I mean? wink

Thanks Daddy. I honestly believe that if the right band/person recorded this it would be a big hit! Where's Simon Cowel when you want him? cool

PS, does LMAO mean Leave My A*** Outofit? [UK spelling]

love Phill XXX

hi crosel, unt welcommen,

i hope i got that right. as your english [like my german] is not very good, i will write slowly...;)

i too hit the translate button, and it still made no sense, but that's my problem, not yours. we shouldnt expect the whole world to be able to speak english just to make it easier for us. so well done, and a recording would be very welcome, please let us know when it is ready.

As always, your wish is my command.
My thanks for your comments, it is about adult love as opposed to teenage lust, further than that I will not go!
Russ has done an excellent job with his guitar and bass work. I had envisioned it as a Westlife tune till I heard what he'd done; all soft and boy-band till Russ put his heavy rock stamp on it.
I'm most happy with the chorus, I write the songs as they come to me, so what you hear is what I heard.
You'll have to speak to Russ about the mixing, as my part was the basic tracks [piano, drums and vocal] the rest was Russ's.

Can't You Sleep?Undefined


Are you [E] awake? [Abaug] I hear you [Dbm] whisper in the [A] darkness.


I'm [E] awake, and I [F#m] hear you [Dbm] breathe my [B] name.


I feel your [E] lips – [Abaug] as they [Dbm] brush against my [A] shoulder.


I [E] turn to [F#m] meet them – [Dbm] softly with [B] mine.


.




And so we [E] kiss, [Abaug] very [Dbm] slowly – and so [A] tender.


Eyes [E] are closed [F#m] as our [Dbm] body's [B] entwine.


I'm [E] awake, [Abaug] I couldn't [Dbm] sleep while you were [A] stirring.


Touching [E] me [F#m] every [Dbm] time you turned [B] around.




(Chorus).




See the [Dbm] dawn light the [A] room-through the [E] side of the [B] curtains.


Feel your [A] eyes start to [E] tire; now we [B] sleep.


Then the [Dbm] sound of the [A] street; playing [E] children, talking [B] neighbours.


You look at [A] me watching [E] you, then we [B] smile.





(SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS)>




REP CHORUS THEN ADD BELOW




||[Dbm] Lay here in [A] peace let the [D] world pass [A] unnoticed.


[A] Take what we [E] need; [B] secretly.||




Can't you [E] sleep? [Abaug] I haven't [Dbm] slept my-self for [A] hours.


Watching [E] you-in the [F#m] dark-watching [B] me.


(CHORUS x 2)




Can't you sleep?

hi kenny,

this is a truly well written and thought out song. are they your words or wlbaye's? i cant normally picture a song from just reading someone else's words, but i do get a nice melody line from this with an easy country bass line and beat.

i cant wait till you've recorded it...let us know when it's done.

hi robert,

x factor is a big no-no for me [the programme not your song] my family love it too. i think it's defined by muso's vs non-muso's. = musician's think it's trash. non-musician's think it's great.

i'd hate to stand there before those manipulators and have them ridicule my voice, style etc. and i think i can sing a bit. a lot of the kids on there cant...sorry.
it's just an easy fix to the top. there is a mathematical formula to explain it;

*18 and pretty [boy or girl no matter]
*able to dance a bit
*easy to manipulate
*singing ability not essential

you song is cool though daddy

hi ark,
thought about it, but it was a little on the long side. i'm not the greatest soloist anyway, so it would have been a little pretentious and most likely naff.

ps, if i ever get `round to recording it professionally i'll give you a shout...
