hi jets,

great song, i like to get the feel of a song by reading the words first, then listening to it. i'm looking forward to that pleasure!

it's a shame that when you get to a certain age, your finally happy with your life, your love and especially your partner, that you start to wonder how much time you've got left together, and that's what i think this song is about. it doesnt matter if that's what your writing about or something completely different as every song tells a different story to each listener, this is what it means to me, to someone else it might mean something completely different, and that's what good song writing is all about. i may be wrong, as this is just my opinion.

well done on a fine emotive song

hi arkady,

such a sad song badeye, flows very well and the rhyme is excellent. i love story songs and this gives the background then the hook at the end. bet it sounds different to the way i played it!

great stuff

phill

thanks again for bailing me out roger and russel
glad you liked it arkady
and yes the local gossips are definitely lacking in the love of a real person, yep it's all about spite and jealousy...your so perceptive helena

hi GDP

there are lots of different ways that i write;

sometimes i just make myself a project, i make up say 19 titles [enough to fill a CD] then write the songs around the titles. i have not done this for about 2 years, and i'm in the middle of a project now called park, get to that later.

other times i may just get a fraze in my head eg when i wake in the morning, so i just write it down [it's handy to keep pen and paper by the bed] then come back to it when i have time.

i may be practising guitar or keyboard and a nice riff or chord progression may come to me, and that will spark off a song.

right my park project... it started with one song that had nothing to do with anything, "birds fly away" [on myspace] from that came a second song, because i liked a character called benchman in the first song! then more songs came to me with one theme linking them all...a park! you know play ground, lots of grass [the green stuff not what you smoke!!!lol] a cafe, duck pond etc, i'm still writing and recording it, and because i'm a bit picky, i'm not satisfied with some of the recordings and i'm redoing them.

then theres the songs you write about people you know or love, these songs you just put down on paper what you think of them, what you like/hate about them what they look like when they are sleeping etc...

i may also be inspired by what i see on this site, i dont steal anything but what someone else writes can sometimes inspire me to write on a similar theme.

hope this has been helpful [and not too boring]

hi jets,

you fell lucky with your sister then, mine was a right cow! she would never let me play with her and her friends, she was [and is] 4years older than me...but still..

anyway a life time written down in a song, excellent. she must be very special to have such a loving song written about her

well done

phill

that chopro thing still dont work for me russ

Hi Jets, we meet again

fine song man, deep and thoughtful, glad you wrote about the up-side, I couldnt face the negative at 10.45 AM, I'm already getting ready for work at 2.0 PM, how sad is that .

Loved the song, hoping to have a week of "In The Grove" days

Regards
Phill

hey again,

i think your message comes through loud and clear, inasmuch as i understood what you meant right away. glad to hear you got through such a terrible experience 5 times no less, hope your life gets boring from now on after all that excitement!!! lol

i think upyerkilt has explain the diction quite well, but if you need anything else feel free to email me, i'll always help if i can.

i think you've entered a mine field here, it does say original songs only on myspace, which basically means it's a disclaimer so myspace cant be taken to court for what you put up, if you understand me?
there are hundreds of songs eg whisky in the jar, by thin lizzie, that are credited original/arrangement by...! but i dont know if that would work while the copyright is still active, please dont do a george harrison [my sweet lord] and end up having to pay millions for what could be someone else's song. you might try yahoo answers... they get similar queries there.

hope this helps
