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

Bill
You`re on fire,keep them coming.

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

Good poem Phill

Gidday all
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.

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.

I think all the artists u mention wouldn`t  get any airtime nowadays.
So i guess no, they wouldn`t be big?

Gidday all
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.

Gidday Bill
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.

Panama Papers
The king sent his subjects to fight
To keep the status quo
A war they didn`t what to be part of
A war of which they didn`t want to know
Peasants of one country
Fighting peasants of another
The nobles & politicians lives carried on
With barely a blip
The peasants on the front line
known as cannon fodder
Their lives worth not a tick
Their reward.....at best
Crumbs from the table

I don`t know if you are aware of `Reverbnation.com`
If ya put songs on there, they offer many opportunities to submit for
performing live/record labels/radio stations.etc
this may suit your quality music.
