`Another Day` by Paul McCartney proves that ordinary stuff makes great songs.
Penny Lane is another,a classic example of ordinary lives.
Of course there`s heaps more,but these two songs came to mind first.
Has anyone else got examples of songs about ordinary stuff?

yeah looking forward to putting ideas toward a song or two
But i think it`s best to throw some ideas around for someone elses song.
Let them make decisions on what to use or not.
this is what we did with Phill.He took little bits of our ideas & created /performed the songs.
So it`s Phills song just `A little help from my friends`

This applies to all chordians,lets talk,throw ideas around.

The weather here is changing,summer is just about gone.
I guess many of you will be going the other way,into warmer weather.
I just put up a new song reminding myself of summer gone.
Maybe it will get u in a summer mood in anticipation of weather to come.

Re: horizontal tango/good enough for buddy (15 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Phill pretty well did everything.On the first one Peatle & i added a few words.
I guess the main thing we contributed was support, encouragement & communication.
same applies to the Buddy song,but this time it was my idea & i started it off with
the title & a verse.Clever Phill did everything else.
We all had a great time emailing back & forward sorting it all out.
I would love to do this with other Chordians if anyone is interested.
