hi ark,
i think it's a long moment, i've been trying to up-load for about 2 weeks, i've highlighted the problem some time ago, but it's still persisting...maybe it's me...i'm just a jinx  or stupid, no comments required thanks
ps     russ is in the studio this afternoon, so it's not likely you'll get him today

I like to listen to music, therefore I dont play music when I'm in company, because I want to hear the music, listen to the words and hear how an instrument is played and most of all why the producer didnt do his job.
I listen to music in the car on my way to gigs, when I can turn the volume up, and not have any one say "what the hell is that load of **** your listening to?"
Music is a public and a private thing, best listened to on your own in a crowd of like minded people... so dont talk to me while I'm listening.

That's what I think anyway, and that's what music is to me

Hi Peeps,

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for this one, I had a similar idea in mind my self but  I wasnt sure how to broach the subject, so well done buvvy.
I think my strongest suit is lyrics, therefore I would be happy to donate some words, or any other resource I can offer, Russel knows how to use my rather dubious talents

hi peeps

for my part, thanks for all your great comments, it was a great pleasure and honour for me to be asked by kenny to take part in this truly world-wide team effort. lena's words do hold a magic and it was a pleasure to put my voice on the recording. well done to all contributors, specially kenny for his haunting theme.

hi jared,

i dont completely understand what your asking, i think the answer all the same is; if you have written words and have a tune in mind, how can you post it or make it sound more proffessional?

firstly, do you have a recording facility?, do you play an instrument?

if you dont play but can record, just record your song without any backing just voice, and ask if someone can transcribe it for you, there are many very talented musicians on this site that will help
down load it to my space, [or your myspace] and post the words, and musical help request on the recording section. i hope i'm not speaking out of turn, and other chordians wont get annoyed at me for saying this, but we are her to help each other?

thanks to all of your encouraging remarks

russ, thanks pal, it's great to have you as a friend and ally

helena, as i was writing this i could see all those pathe images you speak of, where the soldiers just sit in the plane or ship, and they are all so quiet, and you wonder what they're thinking about, their friends who died, their families waiting at home, i just had to put it down, thanks again

kenny, i checked now you check...lol. in actual fact, i'm working night shift this week, so i wrote it at about midday, noticed you email said 4. am? so who's the night owl?

hi ken, thanks, glad you like it

jerome,  when i wrote "men have always delighted in killing each other" what i meant was our leaders have always delighted in sending out the cannon fodder [us lower classes] to kill and be killed for their greater glory, but as you can see it wouldnt have fitted very well!
how many Victoria Crosses have been given out? and how many of the names can you remember?
we all remember churchill, bush, thatcher, hitler, or if you want to go further back, napoleon, csesar, hanibal, alexander, they all enjoyed the killing but where were they? safe at the back directing traffic. there are leaders and there are the lead, lets just hope our leaders arent as bloodthirsty and greedy as their predecessors

My bladder woke me this morning and when I got back into bed this was nagging me so I had to get-up put it down then record it in a matter of 3 hours. It deals with the feelings soldiers get as they come home from war, it's not just about the present conflict, but about the 1st and 2nd world wars and the Falkland conflict, and all the other wars before and since, and if you've a mind; back to time immemorial as men have always delighted in killing each other. That does not detract from the fact that these people that put their lives on the line for us are anything less than HERO'S, and I thank them for their sacrifice. It's in Waltz time

Silence of SoldiersUndefined


The silence of [F]soldiers


Coming home from the [Bb]war


They survived for their [Dm]loved ones


Made it safe for us [Gm]all


When the battle was [F]raging


Far away from their [Bb]home


All that kept their heart [Dm]beating


through the death and the [Gm]gore-[Bb]


Was the smiles on the [F]faces


Was the tears of [Am]relief


And the hugs and the [Bb]kisses


And the warmth of [Gm]release


That wars are all [Dm]over


That all men became [Bb]one


No more need for [Dm]destruction


Or the sword or the [Gm]gun-[C7]




chorus





And the silence of [F]soldiers


As they look through the [Dm]crowd


As they search for the [Gm]faces


for the ones that [F]survived


And they remember the [Gm]fallen-[Bb]


The ones that [Am]remained


[Dm]In the fields of des[Gm]truction-[Bb]


In the war hero's [F]grave




The silence of [F]soldiers


Coming home from the [Bb]war


As their children cry "[Dm]daddy, you can't leave us no [Gm]more"-[C7]


"Don't you leave us no more"-[F]


REPEAT CHORUS AND LAST VERSE

I have this latent tendency to over record my songs, and then I want everything forward in the mix, I like this bit bring that up, oh I like that bit make that louder, I cant hear the guitar...etc etc, any one else suffer with over packing?

hi buddrow

you obviously have been writing for some time, if not and this is your first attempt then very well done, even if you have many others you can be proud of this, it's very lyrical and tasteful, i get the feeling it's about ascending to heaven? now that's different

when i saw the title, i thought it said;"lovely brown ale" i thought i gorra see this one, i wasnt too disappointed that it wasnt about beer, i was thinking of a 20 year old version of you and your loved one, then i thought; whats wrong with gazing into your wifes eyes 20-30 years on holding hands etc, me and my wife still do, of course my love has blue eyes.
