Strummerboy Bill wrote:When I see lyrics such as these, they always lead me to ask if the song or poem is autobiographical, but I agree with Phill: many of us know ladies like this, which makes for interesting relationships. Question for you, easybeat: have you and Peatle ever collaborated on a work you or he might have written? I get the impression you and he live near each other, is that correct and would such a thing (singing and playing together) be possible?
Thanks
Bill
Bill
yeah Pete lives about 10 min drive from my place,luckily right in the between his & my house
is THE PUB we often meet on a sunday for a pint & chat.
Yes i have covered his songs & he mine.But not really done anything together as we have a very different approach.
Phill Williams wrote:Oh dear! Sounds like someone stood on your corns? Actually, this sounds like most of the women I know. I'm not a chauvinist, it's just a fact I'm afraid. I'm hoping you'll put this on the web somewhere so we can witness your vitriol from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Some great songs coming up lately.
Interesting interpretation Phill,not what i intended. But i did write this song
using words that were not obvious,i wanted it to be open to interpretation.
I haven`t a clue what it`s about,it`s just a bunch of words i put together.
thanks for comments
here`s a quick demo

Point Of View
C Em
She was much more than the guilt that she wore
Am Dm
And the way that she walked and talked
G7 C
Only skin deep
She was much more than the car that she drove
and the way she combed and coloured her hair
C G7
Underneath a person you wouldn`t recognize
C Em
Someone different ... with a disguise
Am Dm G7 C
Protecting herself from the world
She changed her dress
She changed her shoes
But she just can`t change her mind
She changed her dress
She changed her shoes
But she just can`t change her point of view
Neo
loved it,haven`t heard anything new from you for a while.
Strummerboy Bill wrote:Okay, easybeat, now you're gonna have to explain "scratch recordings" to me. I'm sure I have never heard the term used before. 
Thanks
Bill
Scratch to me means one take ,no frills.
This is the way i always do it.
I guess thats what Jets means to.
Roger
that must have been fantastic to meet & sing with a great hitmaker.
Jets
I`m a great fan of scratch recordings,they capture the soul of a song.
Often a song is so gone over or reworked it loses some of it`s immediacy.
keep up the good work, don`t bother about a few blips in scratch recordings.
One of my first albums was `sweet baby james`
i just loved the sound of the acoustic on it.
It took me 40 yrs to have a go @ guitar,of course
i never played very well,but it was probably my first influence.
Other than that i guess i`m influenced by everything i`ve ever heard.
Jets
great story,really well written.
i`m hanging out for the recording.
Thanks for your replies,maybe apathy was too strong a word.more unthinking or taking for granted.
I would like to think people like Jan & Phill & others of you who play live. get thanked or applauded for their time & performances.
A bit of generosity costs nothing.What got me writing this poem was, i went to a friends art exhibition,seems many people went
only for the free food and drinks.I have another friend that takes brilliant photos,when i show an interest, this quite guy is so thankful
that someones interested in his art.
So hey next time you hear a busker give them a coin or just a smile.
Ok i admit it,i used to not bother listening to peoples new music or thoughts.
But in the last few yrs on Chordie i`ve had a few people encourage me.
So i decided some time ago i would give back, as i know a kind word means
an awful lot to an artist/busker/musician.There are amazing people on Chordie
doing great things,but often given little support.I can only hope that more of you
listen and enjoy these wonderful artists.
Blood and sweat
often tears
on the canvas
passion and time
hung on a wall
not seeking compliments
only comment
nothing
wall of silence
lack of generosity
artist ignored

Looking forward to hearing it,this one seems a bit different to your other ones i love.
so i`m very interested how u do it.
Old Things
I like old things,yes i do
whether a jacket or whether a shoe
shoes scuffed and worn
jeans ripped and torn
I like my old car
with it`s worn out seats
manual gears
body parts almost complete
i like things that rust
things with dust
things with mould
i like things that are old
and i like you
cause you`re old too!
plus here my newest song
https://soundcloud.com/rough-as-gut/she-come-too
Phill
hope you played some originals?
Phill Williams wrote:who could you be referring to? nice bit of rhyming with a story or is that a message?
it`s up to you, who it is? i don`t know,but it could be many people.
maybe even a boxer!
I don`t really like doing rhymes,but i went crazy this time.
The Mountain King
What became of the mountain king
he used to rock he used to swing
had many hits.. at the top of his game
had it all... wealth and fame
but bought down by ..the use of drugs
sold to him by crooks and thugs
lost it all to bad advise
tried comebacks ..once or twice
minor hits here and there
but the best ...so long ago
that`s what happened to the mountain king
Dirty Ed
excellent performance,great songs.
Some where reporters turned into journalists.
A reporter reported the news,journalists seem to have more freedom to
express their own opinion on issues,but it`s not always accurate news.
Strummerboy Bill wrote:Here's what I wrote on SoundCloud: Those chords sound jazzy, Brian and the voice sounds like a guy sitting in a bar at 3 am with only one couple left dancing. Yep. I definitely feel like you got the "feel" of what Jan wants! Nice little tune, you "Romantic Fool". LOL!
Bill
if i was singing in a bar i`d be lucky to have that one couple there.
they don`t call me The king of audio torture for nothing!
Tig
i left you a message on Soundcloud,just a personal opinion as i`ve had the same problem.
I don`t have a clue about jazz also,all i know is it is a feel.
Jan asked me to write her a jazz song,well how the hell do ya do that i thought.
anyway i banged out this thing,off the cuff of course only meant to be a guide
for Jan.

Tig
another excellent song.look forward to hearing it.
Did you get `post mowing euphoria`
Petes still around,he sent me a new one a few days ago
i covered it for him as he thinks his version isn`t any good,he was wrong.
I`ll see if i can get him to put his version on soundcloud.
