Thanks Brian, its good to see so many joining in isn't it, I hope more will join in too and have a bit of fun with us all cause that's what its about, fun smile  Also I love that some people do covers, some do originals, its great to see and hear smile

easybeat, that guitar of yours does all the talking I am sure of it!  You should be in a band and playing your heart out!  Like I always say, your guitar skills are awesome, I wish I could do what you seem to do so easily!.  I would love to see the lyrics to this song as I couldn't quite hear all of the lyrics when you sang as your vocals at times were a bit quiet and I couldn't quite hear all the lyrics. Also you earn brownie points for being the first up!  Love it, awesome easybeat, if you find the time, please post the lyrics, what I could hear was great smile

Wow MAY already!

This month of MAY looking for SONGS with the words GHOST or GHOSTS in the song.  The idea came when Chordie member beamer mentioned that word GHOST in a Chatroom conversation.
Also looking for songs with the words WOMAN or MAN in the song.

It can be an ORIGINAL or a COVER of a song.  You decide what you would like to do.

Some SUGGESTIONS made were the following:

Another Ghost – original written by Chordie member jets60.

Ghost Train – original written by Chordie member Richard Mortimer aka Neophytte and Neon Ceiling.
NOTE  both of these original songs by jets60 and neophytte can be found in the Suggestions for May topic.

But remember you can cover ANY song and ANY original you want including your own with the words GHOST, GHOSTS, WOMAN or MAN. 

READY!   SET!   GO!

Oh that was great zurf, I thoroughly enjoyed it.   I was singing along with you and tapping my foot.  You covered that song so well, no apologies needed to Cat Stevens at all.  Loved the visual too, it was great to see you in action and it was neat to hear about the guitar as well.  Loved it smile

Roger I enjoyed listening to that one.  I haven't actually heard of the song before you covered it, so a new song to me.  I will try to find time to listen to the original at some stage but from just hearing your version, you did it well.

I added a video for "All's not fair", which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d-Plzd5RIs

It wasn't as successful as I would have liked; getting the video to match the guitar parts was hard (and having my 7yo doing the videoing was possibly not the best move), but I've put it up, warts and all ....

Cheers

Richard


Nice to watch visually in the woods neophytte, your son did well to put that together together for you at age 7 years!  Not sure what sound effects you had on with the vocals but it reminded me of the David Bowie era on some of his songs where he had a similar kind of effect on his vocals.  Well done.

I had a listen to this the other night but didn't get a chance to comment on it neophytte.  I was very impressed with the guitar playing as well, you were showing up skills there.  Looks like you and your mates were having a blast together.

Yep seems to be a problem world wide doesn't it.  People can look to Russia to blame but USA`s own Biden shut down their own keystone pipeline and this Govt in NZ are not only closing Marsden Point refinery but going to fill them with cement.  What a crazy crazy world we live in.

That was awesome!  They are great singing together, they nailed it.  Are they the same couple that you have used before on your songs?  Once again TIGLJK you have out done yourself with your song writing.  Lovely to see you back on Chordie smile

Neo
thanks for taking the time to comment.yeah monotone is what i do best.
A few years ago i had never sung,Jan encouraged me,its still not real singing, but i like to think
it is real and sincere.I like writing but dont like trying to sing and play.

No worries - I think everyone has a unique voice; it's just working out what songs suit your voice ... I couldn't imagine you (or me!) doing a Mariah Carey song, for example, but Louis Armstrong type version of What a wonderful world could be done ...

Cheers

Richard

easybeat, vocally, you really, really suit country in my humble opinion.  I think you have the perfect voice for it.   Guitar wise, you can play pretty much anything and are great at it, you own that guitar, seriously!

Jandal you did easybeat's song real good those seven years have gone quick.

In reply to your question about about my video . The first one I put up I inadvertently  used the same song title as easybeats  submission for this month so I had to change the text at the beginning.  Because of that I had two copies on file and ended up putting up the wrong one up with  the wrong title in my rush to get it on youtube and chordie.. It is same video apart from the text  as the first one and also in my rush somehow I had edited out part of the song on the first one I put up so a few lines of the song had got left. out .   Thank you Jandal for taking the time  to have a good listen and watch.  I try to make each song as different as pos though my poor playing and vocal skills can make my efforts not always a great listen.

Thankyou Peatle, it is still a song I like today.  There are certain original songs I have done for some of you here on Chordie and that is one of them that I still like and still sing and play occasionally.  Yes, you heard or read me correctly, I do actually get those certain songs out from time to time, dust them off and play them smile

Jan that was us starting out,a very simple song,you got a few lyrics wrong but i still love this one today.
Its got something just a bit special me thinks.
I guess we weren`t trying too hard,maybe thats the answer.

Thanks easybeat, I actually thought the same when I listened to it again, it was very simply done, kinda suited that song smile

I am still trying to find a song to perform for this month, having a bit of trouble finding one that suits me to be honest hmm , anyway still looking for something and will post one when I find something I like.

I did find this though one though 'Crazy World'  which I did 7 years ago, the first song I ever performed on soundcloud and it was one easybeat had written the lyrics to and I put chords to it and performed.  Going down memory lane now.  https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/crazy-worldmp3

Peatle, I had another listen today and then went to compare the first version you put up but couldn't find it, maybe you have removed it? Anyway, I didn't see or hear a big difference in this version other than maybe the beginning of it when you started it? From memory, the first version I think you had more of a echo / stereo effect happening at the start?  Also this version looks a bit more like you have cut and put together versions? I am saying that cause I could see Maree still walking past in it like I could in the first version.  So its a bit hard to tell as I couldn't compare it to the first version smile  Anyway, well done once again, its great to see you participating and I like the idea of the echo / stereo effect happening in it.  I like to see people trying different idea`s like that smile

Ok we have two early birds on here again lol, its suggestions for MAY only lol big_smile  Having said that, I had a listen and both so good guys big_smile

jets60, that was a great piece of writing, well written and as always, your music is always a pleasure to listen too.  I could almost imagine some cheeky person coming back as a ghost and hanging around the place after listening to that.  I wish I could write as well as you and some of the others on here can.

neophytte, that was really good and your son did so well, how neat to have another musician in the family.  I always enjoy the visuals in your videos too, how you play around and make them interesting.  Nice one.
