Thats very clever Phill.
As a side note i saw in the news the other day a fish & chip shop called the `Battered Wife`
It`s been in existence for 28 yrs,but of course you can`t have humour anymore.
I don`t fancy their chances of keeping the name.

this is an amazing piece of observation and writing!
Many years ago i read a story about the trolley man @ our supermkt
It announced he had died and told a little bit about his life,he had lived a difficult life.
I thought wow i used to take that guy for granted, a nobody.So i vowed i would never do that again.
As an example, now when i shop, it takes twice as long because of all the conversations i have.
I used to have a job where i was invisible to some people.
It tells you a lot about a person when they ignore the invisible people.
Their loss me thinks,often these people have amazing stories to tell.

easybeat .... definately a terrible thing suicide. I don`t think many people have the answer as each case or individual and what their circumstances leading up to their decision to kill themselves differ. Just makes me sad that they haven`t got people they can really open up too and pour their guts out too and having someone that will actually listen to them. Your song is very thought provoking and melancholy.
Thanks Jan,it was meant to be a thought provoking song.At first i thought i hadn`t been clear enough
in what i was saying in the song.I had a couple of comments that thought i was the subject in the song.
It was not a personal story,it was about a terrible epidemic that seems to be getting worse especially
amongst the young.What can i do to help me thinks?Answer write about it.
If it gets people thinking & talking i have accomplished what i set out to do.
Maybe some good will come from me raising this issue in a song.I can only hope.

Snow folk instead of Snowman
It`s starting to get that way in NZ,only a matter of time before

Re: Eighty Six Questions (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hey Guys this ain`t about me,it`s an observation.Not all songs are love songs.
It`s a subject often in our news,there seems to be an epidemic.
I have some theories on the subject but i really wouldn`t know what the answers are.
Mainly i wanted to write a song with numbers (86) who knows where to rest came from.
thanks for listen and comments.

I`m with you on this one,the answer is don`t believe anything in the media.
Go do some of your own research,listen to many opinions,make up your own mind.

thought i`d do` Summer time` as hopefully we`ll get some summer weather soon.
It`s been a horrible week weather wise.
First time i`ve done this song,reading lyrics as i go.so far from perfect again.
Plenty of mistakes/bum notes from `The King Of Audio Torture`

Wrote this song about a search for truth,seems you can have one news story
but depending on where you read or watch it,it almost seems to be totally different.
It gets to be, you don`t know who or what to believe or trust.

Seeds To Sow
What are these things that go round and round
Bounce off the wall then fall to the ground
Shimmer in the light and die with the night
Come with the wind and rise with the tide
Grow from the bottom the stop at the top
Cover the sky like a pink cloud of smoke
What are these things,we`ll never know
Along comes spring,seeds to sow
harvest in summer
warm coat in Transylvania

You're speechless???
Or have I "overstepped my bounds"?
Whatever the case, I'm getting ready to put something on SoundCloud, but before I do - does it have to be original or can I cover something else? I don't know for sure if I have ever seen a post where one of you might have done a cover, so that's my reason for asking. The song I want to cover is also easy to strum, not so easy for me to stay on-key, so I want to be as "safe" as I can be.
Thanks
Bill
Bill we`ll take whatever you got,original or cover.
I can hardly wait to see what you do.Bring it on!

So i`ve got both them in one shot.Haven`t heard the original for a long time.
this is a real singers song,so not one i should do,also i think classics are best left alone.
I`ll only leave it up for a week as it`s a bit of a dogs breakfast.But hey, i`m entering the spirit.
https://soundcloud.com/rough-as-gut/crazyThat was good ... is that in the Willie Nelson style? I haven't heard the original for a long time either, and tend to play it a bit more down-strummy rather than picked ... I hope you leave it up for longer!!

Yeah Willie wrote it,i think he did a just kinda vocal/guitar.
i`ve never played this before, it was a quick off the cuff.
Just read the words and played the chords so probably not very accurate.
