Hysterical! It's early morning and that's started my day perfectly. Reminds me of Johnny Cash singing that song about the Cadillac, same sort of style not tune or content. Loved the Sesamy street rap and harmonica and the guitar and vocal are exceptional. Thanks for posting.

Pete, you could catch a moment in your palm and make it interesting and significant. I only saw about 18 seconds of Brians recital and the ovation he received and I believe you would be honoured likewise if you took part in one of these gigs.
Congrats to you both, I'm proud to say I am your friend. I am you friend ...right?

Nice one Ed, makes more sense than mine. I've never been afraid of the dark or the countryside. The scariest 10 minutes of my life was walking across a field of cows in the pitch black of night. I think I was more afraid of walking in a message left by a thoughtful Frisian!
Just listened to your recording ( neat guitar solo) really good. Thanks for sharing.

Shwmae Pete?
To be honest I never suffered with night terrors. I used to play in a band where the other guitarist, John, used to be a big fan of horror books, movies and songs as well as the Beatles...good old days! It began as a single line which I thought would be a arty nonsense poem.
I've uploaded the recording to SoundCloud and the link is to be found in MY BAND AND ME. I think?

Yes there was a reason Ken, it just came out that way. I tried to the same as the first two but failed! I went back to it a few days after the others. In fact, all the verses were written on different days over a week or so. The last verse, which I call the chorus, was written on the fly, so speak a la Pete and Brian!

this began as a nonsense poem about nothing in particular and developed over a few days into a song about night terrors!
Night TerrorsUndefined

[Dm] Slip unseen through darkest night.
[Am] A shadow transits, softly now.
[Gm] Malice, spite and hurt is planned.
[Dm] Death and disfigure is soon at hand.
[Dm] As the daylight passes and night descends.
[Am] Midnight creatures crawl across the land.
[Gm] Slither, slimey, nightmare ghouls.
[Dm] Taking feckless daytime fools.
[Bb] Wake-up, wake- up [Dm]. [Gm] Don't drink that [Dm] poison potion.
[Bb] Wake-up, wake-up [Dm]. The [G] nightmare has to [A7] end.

[Bb] Wake-up, wake-up [Dm]. [G] Run away while [A7] you still can.

The Percocet was prescribed for after surgery care. I had had a surgery on my shoulder which involved carving bones. It's as unpleasant as it sounds. I only used the Percocet for a week, under care of a physician, for an acute situation.
Zurf, I meant no offense as I wasn't aware of your operation, sounds awful,

Re: Chasing my dreams, hope I never get caught (16 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I'm confused...ED or KEN? How do i address our esteemed colleague?
Any way, I take that last line of the chorus as...I'm chasing my dreams. Hope I'm not caught by the establishment before I get there...? Obviously I don't want Jim to change his words to that mouthful, just how I understand his writing process.

Hi Ed. I began recording last night and I think it may take a few dedicated sessions to complete to my fairly low standards! I'll post the link when it's done.

Thanks Brian. I had the original idea but then got writer's block! So along comes young Pete with a totally different plot to what I had in mind and the rest is history!

Hi Jim. Hate to disappoint but it's actually a country song, inspired by having to wait for someone, you know how it goes....get your shoes on I'm ready. So you get ready to go, then she says...are you ready and you say...yep ready to rock, and she's still putting her make up on!
