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.

ps snowing yet?

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 peeps,

i guess it is a sad song, it's about a couple [young?] one feels their thing has run it's course [the chorus part...i'd like this part done by a female singer...too shy to ask] and the verses are the male part...or vice versa. the guy finds grass in the girls hair and naturally suspects the girl of cheating, which she may have been, but she wants out of the relationship any-way so there you go!

grass in your hair was the part that started the song off, i had been strumming a few chords, and the line came to me. the rest was a natural progression suggested by that line.

i have put it on my web page [myspace] so please have another look.

thanks for all your great comments

hi linusguitar.

it's truly funny, as i wrote a new song today that has the same chord progression [in part anyway].

you words are beautiful and well written, with a very emotive theme which seems to be an on-going theme lately. as lena has already said, i'd like to hear it recorded too.

well done

phill

hi ark,

just had a listen [left you a message] excellent piece of music, it shows off your skills as a musician, a composer and a master of mood!
it reminds me of a turkish chill-out session, booze and belly dancers!!!!

love it

phill

hi stran,

i agree with lena, short sharp and to the point, fine work

Hello Mr Ark,

Jobs a gonner, couldn't cut it I'm afraid. loads of work, tons of pressure and little or no rewards, so I told `em to stuff it. Not all bad news though, the new car comes tomorrow....Ourstage? I'm sure I joined up, I'll have to check it out again. Thanks for the thumbs-up, working on a new song with Russ at moment, I think it sounds good, let you know when it's ready.

Mekidsmom,

and thank you for listening. I tend to get a bit rock'n'rolly at times, countryfied at others and sloppy quite a lot. hope to hear more from you on the poetry section.

hi guys,

Kenny, no I usually get the words first, but for some reason as I've been strumming lately, riffs and chord sequences have made themselves known and then I've had to struggle with words. I keep a file with crap songs that I've had for about 30 years [no joke] so I just look through until I find a good line from all the dross, then try and make something from it!

no probs daddy, can I help at all?

Russ, if you have an idea for a film, I'd like to be part of it in any way I can. cos if there's someone who can do it...it's you

may the peace of the angels be upon you
