Here is my short contribution for this month song as my arthritic fingers struggle to move when I play guitar nowadays. Just poorly recorded on my cellphone but hopefully it entertains.

Peatle, I was memorized watching you pick away at the guitar, I always notice guitar players and how they play, guess because I am not very good on the guitar.  You plucked away at it like an expert.  Anyway, a short song but to the point.  Great to see you entering smile  PS:  I am not the best at drinking water, drink too much tea and coffee

Well, here we are, looking at DECEMBER already!  So, this month being a festive time of year and holiday season, looking for SUGGESTIONS for any CHRISTMAS SONG, CAROL that you would like to enter for people to COVER or write an ORIGINAL for.

In addition to CHRISTMAS SONGS and CAROLS, looking for songs with the words SNOW… WINTER … SUN … BEACH in them.   With us all being on different sides of the globe, we all have different seasons to each other.  Northern hemisphere is WINTER and SNOW in some places, Southern hemisphere (down under) is SUMMERTIME and for many people the BEACH.

So, put your suggestions down for CHRISTMAS SONGS, CAROLS and for the words SNOW … WINTER … SUN … BEACH.
 
Remember ORIGINAL SONGS can be entered as well as SUGGESTIONS for COVERS.

READY!   SET!   GO!

PS: you can always add late songs to FSOTM if you want, that's why each month is never closed off, so it doesn't really matter if you add a song in late smile

As for me, I just didn't get the time this month to put a song together, so a first for me not entering a song.  Hopefully next month I am a bit more successful time wise to put something together.

neophytte, I had to listen hard to that song to hear the word `remember`, then finally towards the end lol.   Well done smile

Now that would have been interesting to hear my poem done by you in a Noel Coward style smile

Any more entries for this month? I must admit to struggling a bit with the words this month for some reason.  Hopefully I can still find a song to do for it.

Zurf you're missing in action the last couple of months with your entries to FSOTM.  I always enjoy what you enter.

Roger, you seem to have disappeared to after a good start to FSOTM, hope you can join us again.

i know im early but the title intrigued and theres been some great poems here lately.

Anything To Do With Water
Throw it against a wall and see if it sticks
turn it on and let it flow
must be playing tricks
theres country music in the water
so sparkling and clear
theres country music in the sky
so far and yet so near
anything to do with waters got to be good
for without it we wouldnt survive
theres not a thing that would be alive
anything to do with wind blows me away
anything to do with water will wash me away

easybeat, a clever piece of writing, good visuals with this one.  And yes, you are early, you will have to re-post this in November lol

Here is a water song I like by Kiwi songwriter Brooke Fraser. it's too hard for me to cover. Check out the drummer in this video a very original and subtle style of playing. Maybe someone will cover this song Something In The Water.

That was brilliant Peatle, she is a great singer and yes loved the drummer, so cool smile

Peatle, thanks for having a read of my poem, I had to think a bit about that one, a tricky word big_smile


neophytte,  thanks for the comments on my poem, lol I was smiling to myself as it came together big_smile     
Nice acoustic guitar on your song and agree with Tigljk about it being interesting and sounding great with the different strum strokes.  I liked the intro to it.   I could hear someone in the audience occasionally tapping along in time to your performance, it made me think how much this particular song would be next level with a drumbeat.  Good to hear the audience joining in too with their singing.  The only thing I would say otherwise, is maybe the vocals could have been a bit louder as the guitar was quite loud and at times overtook your vocals.


easybeat, thanks very much re comments on my poem (wanting to say "me poem" in a Pam Ayers kinda way). big_smile


TIGLIJK, thanks very much for comment as well, a long time since I have written anything poem or song smile
That is another brilliant piece of song writing and all the words to boot.  I don't know how you do it, but you do.  I really hope one of the guys on here or yourself will perform this one as I would like to hear it.
