I`ve heard a piece of instrumental music and i love the sound.
i`ve heard it a few times and don`t know if it`s guitar or keyboard.
Or hows it`s produced.
an example that you may know is the instrumental break in BJ Thomas
`eyes of a new york woman``
thanks in advance

i wrote this a yr or so ago,with the recent tragedy in Christchurch it is even more topical.
i`m sorry to say the finger pointing and blame game has started,it`s almost point scoring
at the exspense of so many lost lives.goodness knows what has become of my once peaceful country.

Topic: Beamer (33 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I think we should rename chordie,instead call it Beamer.
He`s the only one keeping it alive,i guess many like myself
are talking behind the scenes because of the lack of conversation on here.
it is a shame the lack of interest in others.
it never ceases to amaze me the differences between musicians and my other passion(tennis)
i`ve met and played a lot of people(tennis) without exception they are interested in talking about their game and also mine.
it seems a pity musicians are so different.
there got that off my chest!

Re: Tortured man recording/soundcloud (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
thanks for having a listen Phill & Peatle.This is the first song i have actually written.
i`ve done hundreds of songs,but they are usually off the cuff,with little or no prep.
this one took me a few days,got the idea for the title watching an old war doco.
loved the title,just needed to find some words to match with it.a few days of chatting
to people and reading the news etc gave me the other bits and pieces.
same with the chords used,i actually spent half an hr sorting that.
i was very happy with what i had written,but was scared to record it,as i thought i would ruin it.
finally once thru(unusual for me too)then record!
maybe i`ll do more songs this way in future,i`ll have to wait and see.
thanks again.

thanks for comments guys,very very interesting interpretation of this song.
sometimes u need to read between the lines,but it`s just a song,often i used certain
words for drama ,others just to fit the chord progression.It`s called imagination.
maybe the title implies something,but it`s purely for drama/effect,sorry if i misled you
in truth it`s not about any one person it`s probably about a whole lot of different people put together.
i wrote it in the first person,again to make it feel more real
i value any comments,thank you.

pleased to hear you are doing well,please read the above.
this song is total fiction,the person i talked to is a nice ordinary person just a bit serious.
it`s not about him or anyone,he just gave me an idea for the song.
there`s a hell of a lot of poetic license in it.

Topic: Tortured Man (8 replies, posted in Poems)
i was speaking to someone who takes life very seriously and seems to have the whole world on his shoulders
which gave me the idea for this song
TORTURED MAN
I am a tortured man
I`m black and i`m blue
from stumbles and falls
dreams that have fallen through
have fallen from great heights
and have stumbled through the darkest nights
i have felt the pain
where others they would not
such is the burden that i bear
a tortured man finds little peace
searching for a way of relief
the searching will go on
till the day i die
i am a tortured man
i`m battered and i`m bruised

I`m sitting here in
Wellington New Zealand
writing songs that only i understand
simple songs with basic chords
and ordinary words
if i lived there
i`d be the worst songwriter in Nashville
they craft their songs
with melodies and words that can break your heart
but i don`t care
if i lived there
i`d be the worst songwriter in Nashville
