Well thanks y'all! It just goes to show how a phrase or event can give inspiration, so thanks for that AKA Joe lol. Global warming is messing things up constant rain is what we get in Wales! Just lately it's been sunny yet crispy. Winter here means summer in New Zealand and I believe almost zero covid.
Thanks Pete, maybe I'll write about Wellington next, plenty of beef in it?
this was inspired by a remark made by Mojo. it's a bit of nonsense in which i also incorporated a little bit of romance as a nod to Jim

Pete FYI, it took a ton of will power to just record a six string, a twelve string and my voice! I know if I start from scratch and make it slower it will have the full treatment...meat and two veg with all the trimmings! Lol I am thinking about it!
I also think this is a great song...long live the Texas rain which has given me inspiration for a song....!
I've remixed the song (difficult to know the difference) and uploaded it to soundcloud, the full song is here now...
thanks Pete, but did you like the song? 
The thought had occurred to me but then it reflects that even a traumatic experience can be pushed to one side and result in a happy ending? Not to minimise the seriousness of sexual abuse of a young person but everyone deserves a little happiness with the help and love of a good partner.
With lock down we hear a lot of abuse both physical and sexual of those less able to protect themselves. My hope is that my song will offer even a little hope to those less fortunate.
recording uploaded already, find it here and leave a comment please
i've remixed and uploaded the full version
this is a bitter/sweet song about an abused young lady that finds love but cant show her love due to her abuse years before

nice one Brian. you sound like you're having a lot of fun
beautiful song beautifully performed...money in the bank my friend
Guitar and vocal works well and adds a new perspective to the song.
Big thanks to Pete for bringing a mediocre song to life. I rarely play my originals to Ann but I showed her the video and she came close to tears....big brownie points I may add!
The first part of the song is about her. The last part was inspired by Pete's poem about a homeless guy dancing for Pennie's. The chorus I had to make up. So, in effect three songs stuck together to make one...sounds like a spice girls song....
Soooo....you don't like my other songs. Boo hoo! You could have let me down gently?
Only kidding. I played it to Ann my biggest critic and she loved it. The video is brilliant and hides the cock ups I made.
Well done Pete and happy new year to you and all our Chordie mates and spouse's
Pete, thanks for the info. We had a re-run of the story behind the "Street" over Christmas. It tells the story of how Tony Warren had to jump through hoops to get it aired in the first place and how Ina Sharples was the last to be cast. Recommended watching.
Sadly Mr Warren died last year.
Jim. I've read and added chords and it's not at all a punk song, maybe Beamer would punk it up a bit? As usual I've changed a word or two to make it easier to sing.
Jim, oh Jim! I'm so sorry if you thought I was being critical, it wasn't meant that way. We all write what's in our hearts and mind at the time. But however it made you feel it's made you come up with some excellent lyrics, frightening...maybe, rock or punk? Not so much. I think it's an easy going country/rock/pop song.
I'm not into punk or thrash rock by the way, I'm more of a country rock kinda guy. I haven't tried playing the song yet....I'll let you know how I get on.
Hope you had a good Christmas and an early(?) happy new year to you and you ever expanding family.
I think the Corrie writers liked those characters as they then introduced the Duckworths. There are two contenders for the title now, Fizz and Tyrone or Steve and Tracy. As you can tell I still watch Corrie and Emmerdale....
enjoyed this song so much and i'm not a country lover! your voice, guitar and overall performance are superb.
Back here in the old country, Andy Capp was a daily feature in the daily mirror news paper, I didn't know it came out as a comic? Anyway you left out how he was a lazy, useless waste of skin. Flo would send him out to look for a job and he'd come home well oiled!
Well Pete, you have a brilliant way of taking me back to my youth and writing it down so that I see the pictures in my mind...you're a true artist.
a song from the heart Jim. mushy but nice. all i get lately are break-up songs, my insecurity i expect although me and Ann are rock solid, as you and your lovely lady are. hope you had a great day yesterday?
And a very merry Christmas to you.
And to you my dear friend and all our Chordie brothers and sisters.
Ann is cooking our Christmas dinner, I peeled the veg and put the plates out so I can chill a bit now.
So, same here where butcher and fishmonger shops are concerned, they've all gone more or less. I can only think of one butcher shop and that's a couple of miles away. The only fish shops are where you put your feet in the tank....
We don't keep pets, we tend to grow too attached and waste products are a problem...lol
I wish I knew how to say merry Christmas in new zealandish...nadolig llawen
