Titled "Rain" probably the simplest song I've written in months. Not on soundcloud yet, I will inform when it's live.
INTRO[C-G-Am-F]
[C] Rain. Running like a [C] waterfall.
[D] Tears of the [G7] angels.
Saddened by the [C] wicked wind.
[C] Floods.Flowing through my [C] broken heart.
[D] Water running [G7] cold.
Running through my [C] veins.
(CHORUS)
[Fm] And every time I [Am] call your name.
[Dm] The clouds grow darker [G7] overhead.
And then they start to [C] rain.
[C] Rivers. Flowing down my [C] window pane.
[D] Like tears on my [G7] face.
Drying in the [C] wind.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(RIFF PLAYED UNDER)
Rain, rain. Go away.
If you must come another day.
Take the clouds and leave the sun.
All the kids can have their fun.
Hi Jeff. Just tried to listen to your song but the page came back "unresponsive" shall try again later.

I once called it "the idiots threesome" Johnson, Trump and Putin. the ruling tory party got rid of BoJo now they want him back, can i come to live in NZ please? i've heard there's a good PM there
excellent! the way your words fall together, there are so many "hooks" the lines that catch the listener/readers attention. great song
I don't know who said it but it's true...youth is wasted on the young. It'll be 42 years Ann and I have been together in May next year and that time has flown but I echo your sentiments, I can't imagine going on without her and she tells me the same. As we're both in our 70s now it's unlikely that either of us would actively look for a replacement. We argue but making up is just as good as it's always been. As I always say...if you don't have bad times how do you know when you're having good times?
I haven't listened to the recording yet but your words have great meaning for me. Brilliant
A nice piece of political/feline satire my good friend. The sane people of the UK are praying that number five isn't number three re_packaged!
Grah, unfortunately as I'm not the mod for this forum I cant, much as I'd like to. Sorry
Grah, out of 12 posts 3 are spam. first post is 2009, so the whole thread could be closed or deleted, it's only you and Neophyte that are presently posting!
hi Jan. for some reason the theme of rain/water has inspired me and i've began writing a song which i hope to finish for next month. if i forget please remind me
Thanks Pedr. That won't be too difficult as I seem to have deleted it anyway.
Another great performance Graham. Shame about all the noise the punters are making. I wish I'd been able to video some of my live shows while I was still performing. The last show I did about a month ago I injured my left foot somehow and I could hardly walk for quite a while. I then had chest problems and to cap it all...crowned myself in Tesco, blood the full works. So it seems I've entered stage retirement at age 71. But I'm not selling my gear yet...you never know what's around the corner?
Nice set Grah. Am I imagining it or have you got an obsession with supermarkets?
Great writing Jim, it all fits together so well. Haven't tried it ...yet!
Thanks Jan, it took me quite a while to write, record then post it but it's a song about people's eccentricities which is why it got posted.
Thanks Grah. Yes it's the only double tracking on this song. It's funny sometimes I can do it other times I can't! I was thinking of adding strings but I'll probably leave it as is.
Pedr...you must be the " one eyed, two horned blind purple people eater?"
Pedr, you swine! You made me go back to the smell of new mown grass. The sound of tree branches and leaves in the wind as you sit in the tree tops. The smell of oil and unleaded petrol in a service station. Melting tar on a hot summers day. The shimmer of the sea as seen from the hill top on my way to the beach on a hot summers day, we sometimes get two hot sunny days! The sound of a quiet conversation in the doctors waiting room. And my favourite; bacon frying on the griddle while the scent of toothpaste still hangs in the air.
How I long for those innocent days of the nineteen fifties and sixties when you had to wait two weeks for your pictures from your brownie camera to be developed...well maybe not for that, or grainy black and white TV that finished at 9.30! Having to get up at 8 o'clock on a freezing cold morning to walk the long mile to school. Apart from that you poem is really good.
Lord Brian. I believe you...millions wouldn't. LOL
Extinction of the dinosaurs oh what a lucky day.
Mankind and marsupials might not be here today.
Yet look to the sky, dinosaurs fly, they have not gone away.
I wish some had, while I wash my car, it's warfare, every day.
Some birds are a nuisance just like Messerschmitts.
They drop their bombs that stink of fish.
Seagulls with bad tummies?
It seems they have....diarrhorea.
Oh, Jim. I meant to say after your well hidden hint; I've noticed that since the last one I did for you people now seem to be lining up to record your songs and doing a better job than me. I've also been busy recording backing tracks for a mate of mine so my time has been a little limited of late. Lets see if I get the muse on the next one?
It's great that people discover something in the words of a song for themselves. It turns out that Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't mean what I thought it did, but that's another story.
Because there are two conflicting story lines in my song, I realised that it's actually a duet with both parties making their point. Or a card game or board game where you'd lure your opponent into a trap?
Maybe the song sheet would help? When I get around to typing it onto my PC, I will post it.
sorry Brian, I had to change one word slightly
Thank you Pedr. I like your analysis which is very close to what I had in mind. I won't reveal it yet but think of it as a duet.
Spot on Pedr, as usual. Plastic Pam's I call them. They make a fortune making themselves look stupid and selfish, then spend it again getting body art, piercings and Botox! Why beautiful young ladies would want a trout pout and a forehead that can't move is beyond my comprehension.
Once again you've hit the nail on the head.
a situation we've all been in, I think? can be adapted to a card game or chess?

Great recording Pedr. Almost a rap but I could listen to it and I liked the "put down the phone" chorus. Nice guitar playing too. Well done both
Ooh! That's cruel Brian. Chordie like the tides rise and fall, don't write the old girl off yet.
I joined in 2007 I think and it had been going a few years before that. To get an idea, check when Roger Guppy joined, or maybe Per will give you an exact date?
