Topic: Warmed Heart (1 replies, posted in Poems)
My type of songs are a bit weird for Chordie so i`ve posting them as poems, here`s another.
` Warmed Heart`
I saw that girl in town again today
Seen her round many times before
Often felt some sympathy for her
For it is obvious life
Has not been kind to her
But today when i saw her
My spirits got quite a lift
For there she was
Hand in hand with another
Hopefully found love
This prospect warmed my heart
There`s someone for everyone

Progress?
I live in a country of just 4 million souls
Islands at the end of the earth
always thought we were well away
from the troubles of the world
But when i turn my radio on
on waking sunday morn
News of stabbing & murder again
from the days gone before
I lived in this country years ago
of just 3 million souls
a murder just once a year

Lotto Blues
Buy your ticket
Lay your money down
Anticipation till lottery day
Sit in front ... turn ya TV on
Excitement builds
Will the balls fall your way
Round and round the balls they go
Drop each out.. the numbers grow
At the end add them up
Chosen numbers nowhere to be seen
Not to worry ....waste another ten
Always next week
Trying to win the dream

This is brilliant,many chordians doing covers.
Please keep them coming i think it`s really exciting.
I guess lots of u guitarists have never had a crack at covering `an original`
Let me encourage u to have a go,sometimes an average guitarist finds they are a brilliant arranger
or have a talent for putting their signature on a song.Or put some chords to a poem.
Phill williams covered one of my songs once,it was so encouraging it kept me writing.
Have a go!
Hey baby spread the love

Many thanks for the support you lovely people.
I hope this will distract him from his troubles.
Yes it is excellent,but please don`t compare to usual chordie songs/perfomances.
As he spent an awful lot of time & money to get this song done.

I wonder if you could do something for me.
I have a nephew whos going thru a really rough time.i`m trying musical
therapy on him.He`s a wonderful musician,but life has got on top of him
and he hasn`t made music for years.
I`ve talked him into putting a song on Soundcloud.
Could YOU please drop by & give him a listen maybe even a comment of encouragement.
At this time he could use it. Many thanks kind people.

Gidday Grah
My opinion on this song, is leave it exactly as it is!
I think this is maybe the best song i`ve heard you do!!
It hits all he bases for me.Words meaning something/guitar playing/vocal. the full monty!!!
My guess would be this song came very quickly to you.
It has that feeling of being real & freshness that comes from a quick song.
I never spent more than a few minutes on a song because of the above.
A couple of times i`` wrote`` a song it just didn`t have that honest freshness that you`ve achieved.
Ok now i`ve said all that, tell me i don`t know what i`m talking about & it took you days to pour over this song?

If ya stuck for lyrics,ask Peatle he`s the most generous & supportive musician around.
I think he would love to add something to a metal song.

Great stories guys,it must take a lot of confidence to get up there & play in front of people.
I`m so bad i only play @ home,but my wife doesn`t like my playing.
Having said that there is one song i think she wants me to play a lot.
It`s called `Stop` & another one she`s keen on is called `Shut Up`
I`m don`t know these songs,so if u can help, much appreciated.

Yeah i totally agree with what you say.I`m one of those u mention.
I never sang a note till last couple of years,just needed to put a voice to my songs.
https://soundcloud.com/rough-as-gut/problems-overseas
Still lots of bum notes,but i`m finding my way slowly.
I did cut loose on this(a little bit)
Thanks for your comments,i`m gonna try cutting loose more in future.
Good to see a critique,rather than the usual pc stuff.
