Re: It's Love That You Lose (13 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Jim those two opening lines have a magical flow that took me right into your song.
Sitting by the campfire, and my guitar weeps so sad
As I’m dreaming of the soft look that her eyes once had
I can imagine a man drifting from one place to another his guitar his best friend singing and thinking about how his way of life meant he lost the love of a beautiful lady.
The only change I would make to the first line is I would change the word and to as.
Sitting by the campfire as my guitar weeps so so sad.
Brilliant song you written there tells a good story.

Get Through To You
I have been writing lyrics for many a long year.
I’m just hoping one day my words will get through to you.
I’ve been singing and playing bad since before I can remember.
As I get older my lyrics get happier as the young ones get sad again.
I don’t want to be sad I want to be happy.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I have been writing songs and words since before time.
These words have been hidden in my mind.
I put them down on paper and I try and sing them to you.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I just hope one day they get through to you
I have been spending my time trying to play guitar.
Trying to sing my words in a way that sinks in.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I have been doing this for far too long.
I have been playing my guitar I haven’t been playing it strong.
I’ve written too many meaningless words that haven’t got through.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
Maybe moonlight or a spotlight.
Will shine down on me.
On a darken or brighten stage.
Or in our living room as you turn the page.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.
I hope my lyrics get through to you.

Re: hOtpAntS (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I guess the opposite of Hotpants is Coldpants.? I saw a couple of young ladies wearing Bellbottom jeans the other day I wonder if they are about to come back into fashion. When I have been shown old photos of me long hair and bellbottom trousers I cringe. I now understand why my Grandparents thought I looked ridiculous.

Re: Gentle Stroll (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Cheers Phill
I need to polish up that tune a bit more. Hopefully what I have made so far is a cruisy sound? Mrs Whisky I think is nesting at the moment as she has been quiet. I suspect Mr and Mrs have bred. Papa has been swooping around very quietly keeping an eye on his territory. Junior lets out a song every now and then and Mini just swoops around quietly. Mum and Dad will no doubt kick those two out into the big wide world soon. Maybe I will have the Whisky's vocal services on something musical sometime ahead.

Party On The Bayou
I was honoured that Phill ask me to help write this song by contributing some lyrics. I love the Cajun sound on this one. It also tells a good story about booze and an angry Granny with her grandson following in his layabout no respect for woman, father's footsteps. Guns and alcohol and nightly moonshine and music session's down on the bayou. I'm not sure if the boy has survived this episode?

That is a good solo performance . As Arlo Gutherie said that has to be one of America's great songs known all over the world made famous by Elvis. A beautiful tribute to your daughter.
