Excellent piece of writing again Jim. Sounds very much like a relationship in trouble and a broken heart.

Re: OCTOBER 2022 FSOTM - DREAMING, PICTURE, ELECTRONIC, REMEMBER (33 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Well, I struggled with the word ELECTRONIC for this month's FSOTM, so I wrote this instead.
ELECTRONIC Poem
I been thinking about songs
Using the word ~electronic~
It had me bamboozled
Something chronic.
I tried to make it harmonic
Something iconic
But nothing came to me
My ideas very embryonic.
So, I sat down and visualised it
It had to be symphonic
Pictured it all lit up
All ~electronic~
Then the word faded
As I sipped my gin and tonic
Oh well, I will go watch my Panasonic.

Re: If Only I Could. (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Peatle, well written and so right! Smells, scents of times gone by, somehow form a picture in our minds. Thats the great thing about our other senses (besides our eyesight), smell, taste, touch, even hearing, brings pictures from our memories to our mind.

Grah, nice to see you covering a Chordie members song, especially getting it out into the public arena. Nice for Mojo to seeing his songs performed publically.

Brian, really nice performance by you and I agree with Peatle, loved the Blues, Country sound to it. Extra special when it's one of your own songs, played by yourself and sung by yourself. Well done and you get an award for being the first to start this month on FSOTM once again, awesome

This song was perfect for you . It sounds great. I I think your voicing was really,really well done, some great pauses which were very effective - just waiting for the "golden voice" to start again!I sure wish I had your vocal abilities.
Thanks for sharing.
Jim
ps thanks for the kind words on my song - unfortunately - it is a sad song lyrically. I actually think it might be my best lyrics.
Thanks, Jim, for having a listen and for your comments on it. It`s interesting because I do actually struggle with SLOW songs and singing them. For some reason, my natural tendency is to go for fast or medium paced songs, so doing a slow song like this throws me a bit lol. All a learning curve isn't it and I guess it is good to make yourself do something that is not in your normal style. So, thanks for your great feedback
On another note, your song as I said above was great and yes, I definitely think lyrically one of your best .... the fact it brought tears to my eyes, a sure sign of a good song

Ok will be putting these words into a hat and will draw them out tomorrow when I write up the new FSOTM. Thanks, neophytte and TIGLJK for putting some words down for us. Thanks, easybeat, yep, I tend to agree. We will have to see what gets pulled out of the hat.

Thankyou Peatle and neophytte for having a listen to my cover of Sea of Love. Probably not my best attempt to cover as I rushed it in my 2nd attempt to cover it as I knew I was running out of time and wasn't going to get time to practice it b4 the end of the month. Oh well, guess that's the nature of it.

Re: Put Down The Phone (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Peatle, that was very touching. The lyrics tell the story that is so relevant today to so many young and I might add not so young people these days. Phones, technology have taken over so much. I think your voice totally suited this song as well, you did the song proud, and your guitarist friend was great as well.

Re: SEPTEMBER 2022 FSOTM – HELP …. HOUSE …. ROAD …. SEA (35 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Hi everyone, been a bit of the busy month for me, so catching up tonight.
TIGLJK, great lyrics from you once again in your song. I re-read them a couple of times tonight and it kinda made me sad, which lyrically is a good thing right? It hit the spot to your listener or in this case reader. Relationships, marriage losing that first love or that special thing between two people.
neophytte, Dancing in the dark, you covered it really well, it suited you vocally and your style. I agree with the above comments that the guitar could be quieter or increase the loudness of your voice recording. Otherwise, a good cover and suited you.
neophytte, your Crowded House cover was good as well. I could definitely hear the phaser sound to this recording. Nicely performed.
And with all that said, better late than never, here is my very quick recording tonight for FSOTM with the word SEA.

Richard and Uncle Joesband great to see your videos on here. I have had to more of less stop playing guitar a health thing. So I will put up a song I wrote three years back, "Mountains To Sea." I hope it makes sense as it's about the weird way songs come to me sometimes.
Peatle, wow, I loved the lyrics in this one, quite thought provoking. I see you wrote it back in 2019 and what is very cool as the lyrics are still relatable today. A very heartfelt song. I listened very much to the words which grabbed me straight away.

I did this at on open mic a couple days ago so I thought Id use it for this months song.
The daylight coming in the windows washes me out but you don't need to see me.
Good to see your out there performing unclejoesband, looks like you're thoroughly enjoying yourself. Great to see you doing something you love. P.S. if you get time, please give the other Chordians feedback on their efforts too

Re: SEPTEMBER 2022 FSOTM – HELP …. HOUSE …. ROAD …. SEA (35 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
neophytte, nice performance by you both. Your son is doing so well joining you. Is this one you have posted before as it looked familiar? The only thing in this recording I would change slightly is maybe to have the piano a bit louder or maybe the guitar a bit quieter, just so the full effect of the piano could come through as parts of it was hard to hear the piano. Otherwise nicely done and suits your vocals.
