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!!
Cheers

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.

you have really risen to the challenge,good on you.
Like what you have done to this song.
Just goes to show same song two versions,both great!
I often have a go @ unknown songs,you often get a feel for it from the
words & chords anyway.It`s what we do when we write, but we add our own nuances.

There`s been a lot of tears & heartache songs here lately,so thought i`d do something different.
This song is a bunch of random words with a few rhymes & bum notes thrown in for good measure.

A few posts ago, I mentioned getting a mic and beginning to post some stuff on SoundCloud.
BGD was kind enough to gift me with a snowball mic he was no longer using and it got her today.
We worked out a deal whereby even though no money changed hands, Dondra and I would make a contribution to the charity of our choice, so we are sending some money for the folks in North Carolina on behalf of Joe and that got me to thinking: I need to do the same on behalf of Zurf and Amy and Jim for the gift of the Fender Amp and the Fender Orchestral respectively.
So that is what we will do.
I haven't said it recently, but we are grateful for all the love from our Chordie family and send it right back to you.
If we can ever do anything to pay it forward, please let us know, because I would not want to miss the chance.
Thanks and we send our love to ALL of you!
Well done all involved in setting Bill up.looking forward to hearing some music.
Bill and Dondra

Ok ....... here are some challenges for people from me and I am going to try and deliberately pick stuff I don`t think you would normally cover or something out of the ordinary if I can.
Lets see ......neophytte .... An Original Song from any Chordie member. You get to pick one from any of the talented song writers here in Chordie (just go to the song writing section) and cover on of their songs in your own way
Roger Guppy ... A Heavy Metal number (of your choice). I don't see you as a Heavy Metal musician (I might be wrong
easybeat ... A Cover of any of last months songs, performed by you as close as possible to the original cover, in other words, not making it your own version, or your own style
Ok ............ that will do for starters .........

hey thats a real tough challenge,almost against my principles,don`t know if i`m up to it.but i give it a try.

are you up for it?The chord chart is here for anyone else considering this challenge:
... but where is the second challenge??
I'm throwing these two out there, cause they are what I'm working on at the moment, for anyone that wants to try them:
Crazy, by Patsy Cline
You and me, by Alice CooperTwo different ends of the spectrum, but both by artists whose last name begins with 'C'

Neo the second challenge is to cover it,before listening to the original,i`d like your original take on the song.Not a straight copy.
Lovely looking strat by the way.

the first ones the best
never to be beaten
don`t compare to the rest
but in this case
i`m not so sure
i`d like to try plenty
i`d like to try more
although i`m still hoping
to find better yet
the more that i try
the more i regret
after all this
i go back to the first
only because
it rhymes in the verse
